I did not realise when I booked the tour that the tour operator is a destination management company - not a fully guided tour operator. Basically, you get yourself to the three places and the company arranges tours for you on different days. As a solo senior woman traveller, this was not the best choice for me although the contact, Ale, was great and everything was well organised. The company also seemed to have a good reputation and local guides often went the extra mile. The issue was that there were basically tours everyday and some days 2 on one day. This was too much for me as I like to have breaks and wonder around on my own. Also all the tours used minivans and these were usually full up. It was very uncomfortable in these vans in such circumstances - especially if you were in the back part of the van and the seat had obstructions on the floor and you had to sit sideways for hours on end. I ended up having to cancel at least three daily tours to recover. I note that the tours in Atacama were a bit rough and ready with guides basically giving up on English translations as the majority of the passengers spoke Spanish, though some said they would describe things later to me which they did. Having said all that, the scenery and experience was incredible with each place offering something different - from bustling Santiago, to the colourful graffitied houses on the hills of Valparaiso, to the salt lagoons and dunes of the Atacama desert and lastly to the forests and mountain lakes of Puerto Varas.Show more

We have just returned from the 7 day Mystical Easter Island trip and how apt the name! Our enthusiastic and knowledgeable guides shared the known history of their island, and the colourful tales in equal measure. The tour covered all the main Moai sites, quarries, calders, the highest point on the island and snorkelling, not forgetting the unmissable cultural show . There was free time to explore the beaches and shopping in Hanga Roa too. Due to a number of factors the itinerary had to be fluid but our trip organiser Pamela was absolutely on top of everything and ensured we missed nothing. It was a once in a lifetime experience and a tour we would happily recommend.Show more

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
