“Was not able to go on tour as the tour van was completely FULL and seats were not adequate nor safe. I was crammed in back corner, knees in chin, sitting at an angle with 2 people blocking my ability to exit. Had to get off with my son and cancel trip. No response from tour operator, no assistance. Will have to file a dispute with credit card company. DO NOT USE VIATOR!!!”

3.Torres del Paine Full Day Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 434 reviews · 16 hours · from $229

Travel from El Calafate into Chile with bilingual guides such as Carla, Matías, Natalia, or Silvestre.

The park scenery is spectacular, but you will spend much of the day on the road.

“Daytrip was very okay. Guide was super. Only what bothers is the high price. We paid 180$ each person only for the transport and lunch because the ticket you have to buy yourselves. We were with a large group (30 people) so 5400$ the company earned that day. I think this can cheaper.”
