The excursion was very nicely organized and humorously performed by Daniel our guide. Very good description of the destinations. Rustic lunch on the farm was great.
The bus was crowded, the guide has no place to sit. Lunch was great.the places were not so great to visit.
Great highlights tour when you only have 6-8 hours in port. In this port you have to drive a good distance to get to any site so this is a good tour for first time visitors who don’t have a specific activity type tour. Our tour would have been better if our tour guide would have provided more information on the areas we were seeing / visiting instead of personal feelings and experiences.
Our guide Jonathan shared with us his love of the region. We were able to enjoy very nice views., and enjoyed a typical meal of the region.
Very long ride but with many beautiful views. Spectacular rivers and waterfalls. Guide was knowledgeable and fun to be with.
We really enjoyed this tour. The scenery was stunning and our guide Jonathan is passionate about the nature and people in this area of Patagonia. To top off the tour we had BBQ lamb, potatoes and salad, all the produce from the family farm we were at.
The route is the goal. In Cohayque nothing particularly interesting. Nature during the trip is worth it and is very nice. The grilled lamb was spectacular and the people who served it too. Our guide Amira was very friendly and knew a lot.
Just okay. This excursion was not as it was presented on Viator's website. Granted it was Christmas Day, but the beautiful farm where there would be berries to pick was misrepresented. We never were given the opportunity to tour the farm. The woman who left the tour was young and didn't seem to know much about the area. She read mostly from a script. Travelers to this area would be better off with ePatagonia or even a ship excursion, which many of the other passengers in the boat took and had a much better experience.
Remote access in Chile, a ship stop. Unfortunately, he stays a long time in the Van. The guide was kind but apparently inexperienced, and made every effort to get everything right. I found it expensive for what it offers. Worth the barbecue.
We had an incredible experience with Angi as our tour guide! From start to finish, she was knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating insights. Her passion for the area and its history truly made the tour come alive. She had a great sense of humor and made sure everyone felt comfortable and involved. The tour itself was well-organized, informative, and perfectly paced. Angi went above and beyond to answer all our questions and even shared some hidden gems we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. If you’re looking for a memorable and enjoyable tour, I highly recommend booking with Coyhaique Tour Shore Excursion —you won’t be disappointed!
