What our clients say

97% of our clients rated their experience with us as Excellent or Good.

  • Chile Best parts of the holiday: “Too many to name one but certainly Moon Valley, the salt lake lagoon, the Glacier at Torres de Paine” 

    SJ, Welwyn

  • Highlights: “I went to Chile mainland without any knowledge and was overwhelmed.  The geology was stunning and range of scenery amazing”

    PC, Galashiels

  • Numerous memories but seeing a puma emerge from bushes 10 paces or fewer away from us when returning from Mirador las Torres. It totally ignored us but gave us some shaky photos.

    EG, Hereford

  • Highlight?: The Grey Glacier

    JC, Ipswich

  • Being served Pisco Sours on the deck of the boat at Grey Glacier.  The scenery was stunning and came as a surprise after the poor visibility on the outward trip.

    AM, Glasgow

  • The whole experience of Atacama and Torres del Paine was amazing. In between Puerto Varas provided a welcome and relaxing contrast. The introductory tours of Santiago and Valparaiso worked very well and the guides were great... but experience tame compared to the other three destinations! Matetic was a fun last day/night.

    KH, London

  • The whole holiday was memorable but Patagonia Camp and the walk to the Torres del Paine was the best. Absolutely breath taking. We wished we had stayed one more night here.

    CB, Tonbridge

  • We loved all of southern Patagonia but four days at the Explora was undoubtedly the highlight.

    NM, London

  • Most memorable experiences: "First sight of San Pedro. Hiring our own car and being alone with the flamingos on the salt lagoons. The Milky Way in the Atacama night sky. Chairlift through the mist on Osorno Volcano. Mountain and glacier views in Patagonia. Pisco sour with everything. The Chilean people - always ready to smile."

    DA, Northallerton

  • We have wanted to visit Chile for a very long time.  You arranged a very special holiday for us, which gave us a wonderful taste of this amazing country.

    PCA, Riding Mill

  • Most Memorable Moment: Cycling around Puerto Varas in Chile.

    JL, Studley

  • I was amazed and enthralled by Chile and am looking forward to visiting again.

    DP, Chiswick

  • Highlights: WE have many good memories but we would pick out the guided walk to Laguna de los Tres at Fitzroy and the day to the French Valley at Patagonia Camp and Patagonia Camp in general.

    SC, Cheltenham

  • Three highlights: the trip over the Andes from Santiago to Mendoza with its links to San Martin's epic journey to liberate Chile and Peru in the 19th century; the three Neruda houses in Chile; and the Museo del Barro in Asuncion (Paraguay).

    JRF, Cambridge

  • The Alto Plano of Bolivia was striking. Torres del Paine national park too was memorable as was Perito Moreno glacier. 

    GOR,

  • Patagonia's open spaces, clean air and stunning views.  Chilean people were very friendly and helpful. Excellent food.

    MP, Hemel Hempstead

  • Highlight?: Trips into parts of the Atacma Desert that were not in fact desert but little islands of habitation frequented by only a few.

    RP, Glasgow

  • Patagonia, the scenery and wildlife, getting up close to a glacier, Easter Island fulfilling a childhood dream and much more, the perfect volcano, Osorno, the geology and flamingoes of the Atacama. Santiago and Buenos Aires both quite different but equally fascinating.

    EL, London

  • Our experience at Patagonia Camp was the most memorable part of the trip. Everyone at the camp really cared for the place and the experience they were providing for their clients, from the restaurant staff to the reception staff to the guides. They were all delightful to deal with and the guides in particular deserve special mention for their knowledge and commitment to the preservation of the TdP National Park and the ethos of the camp. 

    RE, Knutsford

  • Wonderful

    We have had two of the most memorable weeks in one of the world’s most varied geographical environments and the friendly Chilean people. Thank you JLA.

    AK, Stoke Newington

  • We found the Chilean people very friendly, obliging & happy. 

    EL, Winkleigh

  • Patagonia for its stark beauty, stunning snow covered mountains and tranquility.

    SB, Solihull

  • Highlight?: Patagonia camp

    MM, Southsea

  • Highlights: Arrival at Tierra Patagonia hotel: and seeing two wild pumas nearby! 

    PG, Oxford

  • Highlights:- Chile was just fantastic, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experiences in both Patagonia and Atacama. Really quite memorable. 

    MR

  • Time in the Atacama - with Oscar!! Probably one of the most spectacular places we've visited as tourists and we have years of world travel experience behind us.

    RB, London

  • Highlights?: Flying over the Andes Getting close to the Glacier in Patagonia View from Costanero Tower in Santiago The list goes on

    DW, Winchester

  • Mount Fitz Roy and Los Torres, particularly the Pliegue tumblado walk.

    DS, Leatherhead

  • Most Memorable Moment?: For me, Torres del Paine as it appeared and disappeared through the clouds. The Explora hotel is in a fantastic setting and the views of the mountains are stunning. For my wife, she loved the Atacama and the Moon Valley in particular. Walking through the valley when there were just the three of us was really memorable.

    JM, Hatfield

  • Each separate part of the trip was excellent. Patagonia most memorable for scenery and Easter Island for history and scenery.

    RR, Aberdeen
