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.

We took this tour last year. The guide doesn’t speak English at all, and keep repeating the same information over and over. They also don’t let you move and ask you to be next to them all the time. Amazing place but awful guide

I arranged our private tour with Mauricio via email. He was very professional and helpful in our decision to do a private tour of Valparaiso / Vina del Mar and return to San Antonio for our back to back cruise. Because of COVID-19, our 2nd cruise was cancelled and our tour guide Francisco was very agreeable to taking us to Santiago airport after our Valparaiso and Vina del Mar tour. Our tour guide, Francisco was very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant - he made our tour very enjoyable and spoke excellent English. We enjoyed the seafood empanadas, recommended by Mauricio. Thank you Mauricio and Francisco for a fun last day in Chile.

Although trip started one hour later that schedule (no fault of the guide, I reckon), she was very knowledgeable and friendly. The information on the food items in the two markets we visited (fish and fruit), the very tasty lunch in a very homey environment/ the vistas of the city - all were provided in a very lovely spirit. I definitely enjoyed the few hours I spent with your guide.

We booked Ilovechile Tours for a transfer from the cruise port to the Santiago airport. As our flight was mid-evening, Ilovechile recommended a vineyard tour in the Casablanca Valley and as we had a lot of time, also took us through a number of seaside towns and resorts on the way to the vineyards. We toured and tasted in one vineyard prior to transferring to a second for an excellent gourmet lunch with wine pairings. A third tour and taste was planned, but we opted to just go there for the views. Our guide Carlos was excellent giving us great insights into Chile and the sights we were seeing. We were 5 friends in a minivan plus luggage and had plenty of room. I would highly recommend this tour company.
