Dagtour met kleine groep naar Cajón del Maipo met picknick

Het was een goede tour waarbij we geweldige Andes en wat S zagen  Amerikaanse dieren. Gids was uitstekend

We booked this tour before we left as we were staying in Santiago for a few days and visiting the Andes sounded amazing. Our tour guide was Gonzalo who kept us totally up to date with pick up time and what we should take on the tour i.e. sunscreen, hat etc. Gonzalo was very detailed with information and places we were passing on our away, which was great, but unfortunately most of it was in Spanish. He did do an English version but very watered down compared to commentary in Spanish. Even so we did enjoy our day the scenery on the way and there is amazing just breathtaking. The picnic that was organised was a snack of dry biscuits, meat, cheese, dips and a nice glass of red to top it off or orange juice. The location for the picnic was also excellent viewing some glaciers. On the way back to Santiago we stopped off a cute place for an ice cream and then San Jose to visit a market which l think was unnecessary. Overall we did love our experience but as previous mentioned the lack of English. Gonzalo did send us some photo's of the group at the picnic and Cajon del Maipo in snow which was a lovely touch. When you book this tour just make sure the $5.00 fee to enter is included as our was not and we had to pay on the day. In fact everyone on the bus has to pay this extra fee??

The tour was very well organised and the guide and driver were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. There is an additional 5000CLP charge which is not communicated while booking the ticket, however, it is very well worth the tour.

I would highly recommend this tour. Beautiful scenery, great driver and tour guide. Fun picnic had enough time to explore at each stop

A great day out with an excellent guide. Gonsalvo provided interesting information about the places we visited and Pablo, the driver took us safely through challenging terrain. Only issue is that it would be good if Viator had provided advice about the additional charge as we were under the impression that when we bought the ticket, that was it and not to be told that we had to pay extra on the day.

Overall a very good tour. We saw the headwaters of the Maipo River, which is the source of drinking water for the city of Santiago. But we were charged an additional five thousand pesos per person to enter the headwaters area, which was not disclosed in the booking. Be forewarned that thebooking price is not all inclusive

We took this trip with Gunzalvo from MTO Tour Chile on January 16, 2020. While our guide Gunzalvo was fairly knowledgeable, he had no concept of managing the group's time. We were told that we will be picked up at 6:10 am so we got ready without breakfast as our hotel would not offer breakfast that early. He showed up at 6:35 am. Managing time was downhill from there - the tour group's breakfast break was supposed to be for 15 to 20 minutes but it actually took 75 minutes. When I complained to him and requested that he provide the group with exact return to the van time so that some of us don't keep waiting, he not only continued with not providing the return time but also would not address the issue with the perpetual late comers. More than the above issue, he made about 10 of us pay Chilean Peso 5,000 (CAD 10) each extra in cash as he claimed that the price of this tour has increased after we booked our tour through Viator and we all had to pay this extra cash to him. The reason for this extra payment he claimed is that a couple of weeks ago there was some security concern and he has to pay extra cash for each passenger for this new security measure that was taken. We were told about this payment after a couple of hours in the tour. When we told him that since this was a payment by him to a third party in cash, we would like to experience the extra security measure taken for us and pay directly to get an official receipt. He agreed to the arrangement but then towards the end of the tour, he advised us that he had already paid on our behalf at one of the stops and now we have to pay him the cash. He provided us with a not so authentic Spanish handwritten receipt for Chilean Peso 20,000 (for four adults in our group). I can provide you with a copy of this receipt. Please note that we did not see any extra security measure that was claimed by him for this payment. I even mentioned to him that I will provide an honest review of this services via Viator, he realized that there were so many unpleasant incidences with our group that the review from us would not be positive. To our surprise his response was that his company gets business from six agencies and losing business from one will not make much of a difference. I don't think he understood the power of Viator's booking site and how much business his company could potentially miss out on. I just checked this tour price on Viator's website and, unlike Gunzalvo's claim that the price is revised, the price is still the same that we paid. I also noticed that another reviewer, katiepattison93, Jan 2020, was made to pay the extra cash as well, so this is an ongoing scam. I request Viator to contact me and let me know how this extra payment can be recovered for us. Thank you.

An awesome experience with amazing views and a very experienced guide. The only downside was that the entry to the park wasn’t included and we needed to pay an extra 5000 pesos per person.

Excellent full day tour. We went way up the mountain to the dam, saw a waterfall, glacier. The. We had wine and appetizers along the river. Then to the Chocolate House for ice cream. There was a stop at the end at a town square if anyone wanted something more substantial to eat.

Great tour at a great value. Christian delivered everything promised and MORE. He cared about our needs in every way. Better shock absorbers on the van would help a lot plus air conditioning for return trip
