Family Tour of Santiago and Southern Chile

Chile | Dec 27 - Jan 3, 2025

Bidasoa was in a great safe location. Hotel was very clean and nice. Breakfast was fabulous. Everyone was very nice and helpful. They let us sit in the lobby and store our stuff for hours when our flight got cancelled.

We were actually only in the hotel for 4 hours because our rescheduled flight was very late, but they were nice when we arrived at 2am local time and kind to store our bags the next day.

Everyone was very helpful and the hotel was in a great location-easy walking distance to town right on the water. Only negative was that the rooms were hot. No A/C and you had to shut the window at night to block the light.

The owners were very nice and helpful. Always asking if we needed anything. We stayed in a multi-room suite with a kitchen so it was nice for all 4 of us to be together. Only negative was that it was further out of town, but the view was great! And it was only 5000 pesos to take a taxi to town.

Felipe was a great guide. Told us a lot about the city and kept it interesting which is saying something since we had just arrived that morning and hadn't slept on our flight.

Hernan spoke great English and clearly knew a lot about the area. It was a really interesting trip. We would have liked to explore on foot a little more if possible. There was a lot of riding in the van.

This is a hard hike. Guests need to be aware that this hike is 13+ miles and very challenging both directions. We would have preferred a private hike for our family so we didn't have to wait for the whole group at each stop. I didn't realize that was an option.

It was fun to see the glacier but it is a LONG day on a boat. The lunch at the ranch took 2.5 hours and the food was only okay. By the time we got there we were very hungry and just wanted to be served immediately rather than everything slowly served. Also, it was weird that some people got a cheese board snack on the boat and we didn't-I guess their hotel sent the snack.

Abi was a great guide. We enjoyed both shorter hikes we did in the park.
