Very nice. It started a little bit late, but the guide was very personable, the driver was very good and knowledgeable and the bus was comfortable. The sights were nice. We took a boat (extra) for a short trip that was OK. We stopped for lunch at a great place. Very good food, very reasonable price. Overall a good

It was a fun day out exploring Chiloe, note there are a lot of KMS to cover so if you don't like mini van travel it may not be enjoyable for you. We loved all the stops that we had and especially the lunch in a traditional Chilean home. Our guide Nellie was lovely and explained everything to us being the only non Spanish speaking guests. One thing to note no credit cards are accepted where we went and there was also an extra optional boat activity to pay for if you wanted to, so bring peso cash with you to cover lunch, any shopping and the extra boat trip. Our driver was also wonderful and made sure we were happy and looked after. A fantastic not to be missed.

Activité sympa. On a pu voir pas mal de petits villages typiques et le guide a très bien expliqué ce qu'il y avait à savoir. J'ai trouvé que c'était un peu redondant de voir le même type de villages (au bout du 4e ça fait beaucoup) mais sinon c'était sympa.
