★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 38 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $135

“The trip was a good idea. But, the saddle company was not in working order, we only saw dried hides. No actual working of the leather. It would have been good to walk around Santiago town square. The lunch in Los Barriles was good. It would have been good to see downtown and walk around. The tour guide was great.”

“I paid for an English tour.😡But the tour guide insisted that there be a mix of both Spanish and English so it was very hard for my daughter and I to understand. We had to ask several times to repeat information in English. Overall I would not recommend this to anyone who doesn’t have a grasp on the Spanish language.”
