Met on time at port with professional guide Ronald, and had pretty extensive half day tour of neighborhoods in and around Puertos Montt and Veras. Just my wife and I toured. Guide stopped at cafe overlooking lake Llanquihue and volcanos. Had nice Strudel and coffee and treated guide also. Visited both upscale and lower neighborhoods around both towns. We both thought this tour was very worthwhile and did it as a shore excursion from our cruise ship so we appreciated the return guarantee from trip advisor although we were back in plenty of time.

Sean was awesomely the best of the bestest - very highly recommended!!! We toured Valparaiso and Vina del Mar with him, and he dropped us off at Santiago for our cruise embarkation the following day. That was our first trip to South America - our pre-cruise tour, as we cruised Chile, Antarctica, Falkland Islands, Argentina, Uruguay - still so many places to explore in this area. We will definitely come back, and use Sean's company again...

Did this trip in February. To sum it up it consists of 11 hours in a minivan to visit three churches in Chiloe, none of them is interesting unless you are an academic interested in the technical details of wooden church building in the mid 19th century. However good the guides are (and our guide was excellent) this piece of Chile is not worth visiting. The drive to Castro in Chiloe island comprises a 70km motorway run to a ferry and then more than two hours driving along a scruffy, semi industrialised road with no redeeming features to Castro. On arrival the only logical question is "why bother". There are so many beautiful places in Chile I would suggest that people give this excursion a swerve and prevent the total waste of a day of their lives.

Spent a very enjoyable day exploring the sights with Miguel. The bus was very clean and comfortable and also had free wi-fi. Our driver was excellent, we felt very safe, even on the winding roads up to the volcano. Miguel was very knowledgeable and personable. He even had a bottle of water and a traditional Chilean pastry for everyone! He gave us great restaurant recommendations in Puerto Vargas. This tour was half the price of the same tour offered by our cruise line. Fantastic value! Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed this virtual live experience all together. And even-though we decided to "only" watch, due to the time difference (after dinner for us), we had a great time learning more about how to properly cook Empanadas. Thanks again to Camila for making it very interesting, "tasteful"and fun and giving us the chance to discover the world of Empanadas and also sharing insights about Argentina with us.
