It was a great tour. Everything went smoothly. We loved the hotel Hare Nua on Rapa Nui. The staff was really wonderful, rooms were comfortable and it was nice to be in the center of town. We (I'm 70; my daughter is 19) both really enjoyed the trip and we are still enjoying our time in Chile -- in Santiago now, then to the mountains and finally a beach town north of Valparaiso. Thank you

The hotel itself is very nice. I'd prefer to be in a more bustling walkable neighborhood but for one night it was fine.

It was nice to get out and ride. The weather was pretty bad (fog and rain) so it is kind of hard to evaluate. I realize kimkim can't control the weather! I think it would be amazing on a clearer, drier day.

It's a lot to do immediately upon arrival after a flight but our guide and driver were great and it was nice to get a feel for the city.

Hi Michael,

I'm happy to hear you and your daughter enjoyed your 5-day trip through Santiago and Easter Island. I'm sorry about the weather! I'm glad you were still able to enjoy the island though and it's unique beauty 😊

Don't hesitate to reach out in the future for another trip to our beautiful country! Maybe a visit to the Patagonia or Atacama Desert? 🏜

All the best,
Jesse
