Chile trip, Nitin Gaur (from US) - February 11, 2010

Hello Laura
I had an amazing time, and I do want to thank you for an amazing work with organizing the entire trip. Chile Patagonia is an amazing place, and I had been planning this for a long while, but your company made is so much easier and valuable.

I have recommended your company`s name to many of my friends who were also interested after seeing amazing pictures, that I brought back.

I do want to THANK YOU for an amazing work in planning my trip, and I also found a lot of value in booking through you.

Next year I intend to go to Peru (Inca trail), and I will be sure to contact you again.

Regards,
:)

Laura,

The trip to Easter Island was outstanding. The Hotel Gomero was beautiful and the tours by Rapa Nui Travel were all excellent. It was everything I had hoped for.

Chile trip, David L (from USA) - January 25, 2010

Hi Laura,

Scenery is absolutely spectacular.  Accommodations are sometimes just OK, food isn`t always great, but I came for the natural beauty, and in that respect, it doesn`t dissapoint.  Everywhere you look it`s another beautiful mountain, forest, river, stream, lake, farm.  Words and pictures can`t describe how beautiful it is.  Therefore, in this respect, the destination met my expectations.

Hertz: Great.  I got a Toyota 4Runner, and it performed very well.  No complaints.

El Puesto/Puerto Rio Tranquilo: Very good hotel, excellent dining.  Enjoyed the stay.  The Lago General Carrera area and the marble caves are incredible.  I would have traded Futaleufu for more time in this area and perhaps a trip to Caleta Tortel. 

The star was the trip to Laguna San Rafael.  It was really good, and met my expectation in every way.  Scenery was great, ship was really good, professional crew, decent food, and lavish liquor.  A musician turns the return into a great party. All in all, a great time and really beautiful.

Puyuhuapi Lodge and Spa: Very beautiful, worthwhile.  It`s a beautiful place in the middle of nowhere. They try to upsell you with excursions and spa treatments, so it can get expensive if you do all of those things. 

Coyhaique area: Some of the most beautiful scenery is around Coyhaique, especially the trip from Coyhaique to Puerto Chacabuco.

Dearest Laura,

I would first of all like to wish you a Happy New Year.

Then even more importantly, on behalf of Alessio and myself, I would like to THANK YOU very much for your service and all your assistance in booking our trip to Easter Island and Chile. Very professional and extremely detailed.

It was an unforgettable trip!!! A lot of it due to the fact that it was all so well organized and everything was pre-booked. We really didn`t have to worry about anything. Wonderful!

Valentina was a great guide and help in Santiago and we really felt she was there for us. She was very willing to assist and had many good tips about Chile and our visit there. The drivers were also very kind and helpful and the car comfortable.

On our wine tour we aslo had a very good experience. Only the map wasn`t as detailed as one whould have wishes. The stay at Las Majadas de Colchagua was in particular nice and unforgettable. The whole area has so much to offer and is so very interesting. Santa Cruz for example, a great place.

We would at no time hesitate to recomend Latin Discover for any bookings to Chile. Very Professional! We will be back when we are planning our next trip to Latin America.

Thank you once again Laura.

Wishing you all the best for the future.
Kind regards,
Annika

Chile trip, Donald A (from Canada) - January 13, 2010

Hi Laura,

We had a wonderful two weeks in Chile, thoroughly enjoying the different landscapes, and situations. We also found the Chilean people very friendly and hospitable, always eager to assist confused Canadian tourists if they could.
 
Our tours in Chile were also most interesting, and well organized. We were also impressed with the quality of the accommodation, incuding our hotel in Bariloche. 
 
We aslo fully enjoyed the Santiago/Valpariso- Viña der Mar region.

Thanks again for your assistance,
Best wishes, Don

Chile trip, Jean G (from USA) - December 8, 2009

Hi Laura,

Back from the trip. Now is my pay back time, very busy at work (and home too) trying to catch up :(

It was a very good trip, all the tour guides are very good and punctual. The tour guide Pablo at San Pedro De Atacama was outstanding, he is great!

Thank you, we enjoyed our trip.

Chile trip, Bernd L (from USA) - May 12, 2009
Everything went well though the weather was not very cooperative on the trip so we were unable to do many of the things we had hoped to do in the second half of the trip. The room we had in Pucon was the best out of all of them. When we picked up the car in Temuco they gave us all the paperwork for taking the car across the border and the infomation package was excellent. They had made an error in the paperwork by having the incorrect year for the return date for the car to cross the border. The paperwork would have expired before our return date from Argentina. A person working for Hertz drove to our hotel in Pucon from Temuco to give us the correct paperwork which we are very appreciative of. This would have presented a major problem for us. 
The hotel in Puerto Varas was excellent as well.

In San Martin the room overlooked the parking lot in the back of the Hotel and the room was sparten at best. The hotel lobby and entrance was very nice. In Bariloche I would recommend not staying in town at the Edelweis but along the lake as you originally tried to book us. I had received some input from a friend to stay in town which proved not to be the best choice.

 
Overall the trip worked out for us and we would recommend it to anyone else. The country is beautiful to see.

Laura,

We really appreciate the efforts of Latin Discover to work out an itinerary tailored to our needs in very short notice.  We had a very tight schedule, but it worked out very well.

The service provided by the various tour and transfer personnel was first rate.  They were timely and efficient and made everything flow smoothly with no worry.

The excellent service provided enabled us to enjoy our travels in Chile and Argentina tremendously.

Hi Laura,
I just want to tell you that we are very happy about our trip to Chile. Everything went according to plan. We were very well taken care of and we had a wonderful time!
Thank you and maybe I will contact you again if we plan an other trip to South America!
Best Regards, Mats

Chile trip, August S (from USA) - January 15, 2009
Hello Laura, We are back from our trip to Chile and Argentina and had a wonderful time.  The room and meals at Cabana del Paine were fine and the view out our window was spectacular.. The 4WD vehicle worked well and I highly recommend such for the Torres del Paine gravel roads, some of which are very rough.  The Martin Gusinde Hotel in Puerto Natales worked out well.  Thank you for your help in finding the hotels, etc. August Schilling
Chile trip, John P (from USA) - December 1, 2008
Hi Laura,
We had a delightful week of travel in Patagonia. Car rental went very smoothly, and the pick up was great for the park. Accommodations obviously were excellent, and I would infer the best available in Pta. Arenas and Pto. Natales.
Thanks for helping us on such short notice. We definitely enjoyed ourselves. Jack
Chile trip, Everett C (from USA) - November 19, 2008
Hi Laura,
All I can say is WOW!!!!   Chile far exceeded my expectations.  Scenery absolutely spectactular,food great, hotel acomodations excelent I would have liked to stay another month or even the rest of my life.  I was very impressed with all areas of Chile that I visited.
Tour guides and drivers very good. All in all I would rate this tour at 10 out of 10.  For all aspects of the tour.

My wife and I are in Chile for 10 Dec to 19 January and after looking at various options, I thought you seem to offer the best set of packages, since we normally do car rentals when we travel as it allows independence. However I don''t want to be caught up hunting for hotels at high season (in Spanish!), so the self-drive options seem to fit the bill.
