Me and my husband just came back from our trip in Chile and it was a very satisfying trip. Chile is a very diverse country that everybody needs to add it to their bucket list. Our 10-day sojourn was just a glimpse of what the country has to offer.
This was all made possible when we contacted Tamer who was instrumental in making this happen. Tamer was very patient with us during the planning. He gave us a few tour packages to choose from and he was very responsive. He basically answered all our questions in the quickest time possible.
Angel, who was our first contact during our Santiago stay was awesome !!! He is very professional and yet very personable. He treated us like we were family during our stay. Angel and his entire team were always reaching out to us and asking how we are doing. Very responsive, very punctual and just very comforting to know that he has our back. I like the fact that they reach out to us and gives us updates on our daily itinerary.
Our tour in San Pedro de Atacama and Patagonia were just outstanding.
We've been to quite a few countries and always had no trouble with our tour packages but in Chile- they seem to go above and beyond.
After all our tours-our guides always have a spread of food and drinks which is really something that you can look forward to.
Chilean people are very nice and welcoming.. We've never encountered any person who hasn't smiled or helped us out in every way possible.
So many places to go and explore but we don't mind coming back to Chile. There's so much this country has to offer that we have barely scratched the surface.

Hotel Reviews
Hotel Diego de Velazquez
Santiago

The location itself was great. The bellboy to the front desk employees were really attentive. What it lacks is an update to their rooms. Seems very dated. The bathroom needs to be fixed. It is functioning but it just doesn't look inviting at all. It needs caulking. Food was okay. Nothing fancy.

please update the rooms especially the bathrooms
Ckoi Atacama Lodge
San Pedro de Atacama

I like this place. It's maybe a good 10 minute walk from the city center but i like the peace and quiet that it provides. Room and bathroom is clean. It's not a high end lodge but i like the fact that they upcycle materials to use. The restaurant is clean and inviting. Food is okay. it's just a typical free breakfast. But i'll pick to stay here again if ever we'll be back in Chile.

Hotel Boutique La Yegua Loca
Punta Arenas

We absolutely love this hotel !!! This has a lot of character. We love the quirkiness of this hotel. Every detail was thought of. The room has awesome. Clean and inviting. Too bad we only stayed here overnight. The restaurant was awesome. This hotel is an example of having a clean, inviting and comfortable without being expensive. They made use of what's native to the area and re-used vintage treasure finds to keep this place authentic. It is a small hotel since this used to be a house that's almost a century old but i just like the vibe. The only downside is the fact that there is no elevator which makes carrying your luggage harder not only for us guests but also for the staff that carries them.
