What hotel is provided with the tour? Is there a room upgrade option while keeping the same itinerary? Does the room have air conditioning? Is there an option to go sand surfing? What food options are provided?

Unfortunately, the selected hotel on the itinerary doesn't have air conditioning, but for sure we can upgrade the hotel to another one that can provide it. You will have Sandboarding on day 2; this is already included. During the tour there are snacks, but I will advise them if you have a special diet, and I will tell your hotel too.

Overall, the trip was very well organized. My only concern is with the Hotel Lady Florence Dixie in Puerto Natales. I would recommend removing this property from your list. The room was extremely small for two people and felt quite worn, especially the bathroom, which really needs updating. In addition, there was a notice advising guests not to plug in electrical devices. Some outlets worked while others did not, and when we charged our phones, you could tell there was some kind of electrical issue.Show more
