“A brilliant day - manages to fit most of the must-see sights into one day, so if you're short on time in Patagonia this is the tour I recommend for you to make the most of your visit to Torres Del Paine. Early start with hotel pickup from Puerto Natales and you're driven to a service stop to get breakfast or a coffee. Then driven to the National park, with some stops along the way to look at wildlife if it's about. We saw many guanacos and some birds I forget the name of. Unfortunately no sign of any pumas but apparently they can sometimes be seen between 10am and…”

Review of the Balmaceda and Serrano Glacier boat tour from Puerto Natales, with fjord wildlife, forest walks, whiskey, and Patagonian lunch.
“It was quite crowded and the seats were cramped but we still enjoyed the views and experience. Sometimes it was hard to take photos because there were so many people. We were a little bit disappointed that we did not get to have glacier ice with our whisky as advertised. The food was okay but 2.5 hours for lunch seemed like a bit of a waste of time. We met some lovely people on the way. Overall overpriced for what we got however we still had fun.”

“Asked if they could move my booking one day because of some problems, but they said they couldn’t because the tour was fully booked that day. Now it’s a day later and they still accept bookings for tomorrow. Just a plain lie to be able to keep my cash, and not help me out with getting to do the tour. Even though they obviously have capacity. Cost them nothing to let me join a group tomorrow, but hey, they don’t give a f***. Liars”
