Chile Trip Review: Santiago, Winery Experience, 1-Week Tour

We had an excellent trip to Chile. All the transfers and guides were on time, friendly, and knowledgeable. The trip was exactly as described, with no bad surprises! The accommodations were clean and well-located. The Zicasso company representatives stayed in touch with us before and during the trip, but we didn't need any assistance. We would book with them again.

Chile Tour Review: Patagonia, Atacama Desert, Hiking, Kayaking, Star Gazing, 10-Night Trip

We enjoyed our trip, though I would have planned it differently. It was a very active trip, as we had requested. Traveling through Chile is tricky because it is long and the flights all go through Santiago. The travel days seemed really long with all the driving to get to locations. I may have planned the itinerary for some downtime, whether at a hotel with a nice pool or by a beach. Overall though, the trip was nice. Chile was nice.
