We have just completed the 11 Day Tour of Chile and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Amazed at how much we saw and experienced. The weather was kind, the itinerary flowed well and the hotels, guides and drivers we were allocated were above expectation. Pamela from Tourradar organised almost every detail of our trip and was on hand with colleagues to support us if we had any questions or concerns - most of the time I was relaying how impressed I was with the planning and the fantastic local connections Tourradar have in Chile. Every guide we met was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and passionate about their subject. Would not hesitate to recommend this Chilean adventure - it is a diverse and spectacular Country not to be missed.Show more

  Wayne
  Traveler•Written September 2025
  Yes, I decided against it, because I had not considered the altitude. Due to the fact that I'm 73 years old travelling alone. I thought better leave it.
- Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written September 2025
  I completely understand your decision. Traveling alone at 73 is already a wonderful adventure, and it's important to feel comfortable and safe. If you'd like, I'd be happy to suggest other destinations or activities at lower altitudes that might be more suitable for you, like Santiago & Valparaiso, Lake District.

  Traveler•Written September 2025
  let me ask you, do they oxygen available, in case someone needs it??? there are Oxygen bars in many places with high altitudes, do you have any?
- Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written September 2025
  During all high-altitude tours, our guides (only in the private option) leave oxygen bars. But we do not recommend tours at high altitudes in your case. In the rest of the country, the altitude is not too high, so you will not have any problem.

  Traveler•Written October 2024
  As I am not sure of my exact date in March, would it be safe enough to assume that the single supplement is around the same price for any date in March?
- Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written October 2024
  I can't guarantee it but I will do my maximum to keep the same price, it really depends on the availability of the hotels, and the demand is high for this period.
