“Først ble vi booket om på en annen tur, men de forsikret oss om at den var på engelsk. Når vi ankom visste ingen noe om at vi skulle ha den på engelsk og det var takket være noen andre på bussen som snakket spansk at det ble ordnet på best mulig måte. Anbefaler ikke dette reiseselskapet.”

Your ski lesson isn’t pre-booked so all the morning slots were booked up when we got there. The ski lesson and time on the slope was amazing. Also, private transfer in a comfortable car.

“We met Andy at the entrance to the market. It was fascinating to see and purchase all our fresh food for the day. He let us choose our meal and pick which things we wanted to make. After the market, which included picking up our freshly caught and fillet fish, we took an uber to the kitchen. Once inside we got to work. The view was amazing and such a beautiful place to learn about Chilean food. Andy was great with our kids as we let them do most of the work.
