What travelers say
Real reviews from TripAdvisor.
“The best experience, the guide was very attentive, respectful and friendly with everyone, and always helped us have the best experience. He waited patiently while we rented clothes and never rushed us. Later, in the snow, we told him we wanted to head back before everything ended because we were tired, and he took us right away. I did not expect him to be so attentive, since there were other tourists, but without a doubt they listen to their clients, and he always asked if we were OK and if we needed anything. If I had to go back to Farellones I would hire them again without a doubt, 1000/10.”
“Our driver Jose was a fantastic guide. We appreciate his suggestions along the way, which made our experience safer, more affordable and worth it.”
“I had an excellent experience with the travel agency; they are punctual and the guides are kind and helpful.”
