    Since you're traveling solo and prefer to be accompanied on tours, the best option would be to join different tourist groups for each visit. Unfortunately, I don't have an option for a single group that starts and ends together during those dates.

    Hi Francisco, the tour looks nice, but I have 2 questions: 1. What is the price for it and 2. Can it be done between 26 and 31 of January?

    Let's suppose your flight is landing at Balmaceda airport on Jan 26th. So, the itinerary should stay like this:
    
    Jan 26 Arrival day
    Jan 27 San Rafael glacier navigation can be done on Jan 27
    Jan 28 Marble Caves
    Jan 29. Queulat National Park
    Jan 30 Six Lagoons & Lake Elizalde Circuit
    Jan 31 Departure day

    I've finalized the quote for the travel plan I sent you a few days ago for your visit to Northern Patagonia, with a 5-night stay in Coyhaique. The plan includes roundtrip transportation from Balmaceda Airport and an English-speaking guide in shared groups with other tourists.
    
    The plan's total cost is $2,290 USD, based on one person staying in 3-star accommodation. Please note that this price does not include flights.

    Do you think you can form a group if you post this trip on your website? The price is above my budget and joining a group it would lower it significantly.

    At the moment, we're not planning a fixed departure group for the date you're looking to travel in January. Since January is high season in the Northern Patagonia region, I would recommend considering the offer I sent in my previous message.

    De todas maneras te aconcejo bookear el vuelo mas tarde para el ultimo dia ya talves podriamos terminar los tours alrededor de las 5 o sino tendria que ser solo un tour de la ma\u00f1ana para el ultimo d\u00eda. tambien hay que contar el traslado hasta el aeropuerto que son aprox 1 hora y media.

  Asked on September 28th, 2022

  I am interested in this tour and wanted to make sure the guides speak English and check independent reviews on the internet. The tour operator on your listing says Ecuador Galapagos travel, but there is no such tour offered by the company. Could you confirm the tour operator and of possible point me to the trip advisor reviews?

    This shared tour has the cost of US$ 190 per person, and as explained under the (What's Included >> Not Included Additional Services) section, we provide local Spanish-speaking guides and shared dorm accommodation. The upgrade to a single room is available with an additional supplement, and the English-speaking guide is offered only when a private departure is requested which will have a different cost and inclusions.

    Hi Tamer, thank you so much for your response. I am interested in English speaking guide, but I am travelling solo, how much would a private option cost me?
    If it is too expensive, maybe I can go with the Spanish guide, I speak a little bit of Spanish, if the guide can explain slowly sometimes when I don't understand something, do you think it would be OK? Either way I would like a private room with private bathroom.

    The private tour with an English-speaking guide/driver will cost $1800. This price includes:
    
    - Private 4x4 transportation
    - Professional English-speaking guide
    - 3 lunches, 2 dinners, 2 breakfasts
    - 2 nights lodging in boutique hotels (Hotel Palacio de Sal & Hotel Tayka Del Desierto), in a single room with a private bathroom.
    - Entry fees to all the attractions
    - Chilean border passage fee, as the tour ends in San Pedro de Atacama
    The private tour also offers a little bit more expanded itinerary (more attractions to visit).
    
    The reason why the price goes up that much, aside from the fact that this is a private tour for a solo traveler and the inclusions are more, is that it is quite a challenge to find a professional English-speaking guide in that region.
    
    As for the shared option, and since the majority of travelers are expats, I can assure you that the Spanish-speaking guide will be very collaborative and to my knowledge will also try to explain in English as far as his knowledge will allow him. Your basic Spanish will be of great help as well, and if it happens that the departure is full (6 travelers) I am sure you will have other volunteers who will try to help in translation :)
    
    The optional upgrade for a private room with a private bathroom in the shared departure is already uploaded in the tour, the cost will go up by US$ 60.

    Yes I would! Obviously it might vary slightly but our group was so lovely, and if she can speak little Spanish and English that's great because she can understand the tour guide and the tourists in her group will most likely speak to eachother in English. They have enjoyed the tour.
