We are young physicians and health workers starting our career fighting coronavirus in the United States who booked a Perla de Bolivia tour for April 2020. We could not go because of our work, and gave this company 4 weeks' notice that we would not be able to travel due to our work. Of course, it was also unsafe to travel and our flights were all canceled as well due to COVID. We would not be able to use any vouchers due to the nature of our work and unpredictability of our schedules. Perla de Bolivia originally said they would refund us the entire amount, and then reneged on their promise. They are the only tour operators to do this and we found it shameful they will not offer us a refund despite COVID and our work.

Our trip to San Pedro de Atacama, with wife and two friends, was one of our best ever. Much of this great success was thanks to the wonderful day tours (we did 6 of them) and experience provided by SORBAC. We had time to enjoy each of the attractions, very good information (from Culture to Nature) to learn a lot. Food was great as well, and the staff was super friendly!! Thanks a lot!

i booked the 4 tours grado10 offered after a friend recommended me. worth it! even though it’s a bit more expensive than the other companies, it’s much better. the bus/truck is very comfortable, with big reclining chairs (which is a must since some tours leave at 5am and you will want to sleep until you get to your destination), and also very nice during the tours (in some of them you can go on top of it). breakfast is the best as well. the tours are very well organized, leaving earlier than the other companies so you won’t get the places crowded. they also create whatsapp groups to facilitate communication and to send pictures afterwards. our guide George gave us a beautiful picture of the sky when going to the geysers and our guide Barbara was very professional and clear to understand. as a bonus, Luis was a very good chat when we were on the road. their tours were my favourite and i definitely recommend it!

We booked this tour and were picked up at our Hostel el Punto at 8:30 am. The guide Filipe spoke fluently English and was very inspiring and enthusiastic telling a lot about the Elqui Valley, guiding us around very professionally. We had enough photo-stops and he offered me even to sit on the front seat to enable me to take better pictures while driving. The highlights like a visit to the dam and the Pisco area were brilliant as well as the provided lunch. One tip: although La Serena can be cold and windy in November, once you are in the mountains it is very hot up there, so take care of that by choosing smart clothings.

We got a tour from Hostel Cactus with Gean as our guide. He was very nice and knowledgeable about the area and bilingual which was a plus! The tour was so much fun. Pan de Azucar is a beautiful picturesque place. We hiked El Mirador to see some nice views of the ocean. We saw pelicans and sea lions. Definitely worth it.

The pinguiens was there, but few and no other animals. All such activities are two expensive in Argentina and Chile, too expensive for the locals also, and to many restrictions on movements. These tours have been the only downs on our three months trip to A and C. In my country you do not pay to visit national parks. No gusto.

We booked a return tour from San Pedro Atacama to Uyuni salt flat. Overall the tour was amazing. We were lucky to have Wilson as our guide. He was driving carefully, giving a lot of info about the sights (in Spanish only), and he is also good at taking photos, which was useful at the salt flats. Communication prior to the tour was good too, Gabriel was always available to answer our questions. The slight downside was dealing with addional requests. Another couple from our group didn't get the private bathroom they paid for. The change of the driver in Uyuni, after the main part if the tour was finished, was a bit of unpleasant surprise. If you join this tour pack soap, sanitiser and toilet paper, as hygenic facilities are basic.
