He is, by far, the best guide we have ever had. He was extremely competent, friendly, helpful, and invaluable on this tour. The tour itself was fun and exciting and beautiful. One of our top vacations for sure. our local guide in Ushuaia was not good. He had been in the tour guide business for decades yet could barely speak english and had a hard time answering questions as he did not understand. All of the other local guides were incredible.

But the best of the trip was Max the guide. He was by far the most organized and engaged guide we have EVER had and was quick to tailor the tour to what we wanted. Marchelo was the local guide in Ushuaia - He was very difficult to understand and was not interested in what we were interested in. The food at the Estancia - they tried too hard to be hoity-toity - One of the meals should be simple. The first night we did not eat - nothing was to our liking.

Why start in Santiago
A smart gateway city for culture, views and smooth links across Chile
Santiago works well for Chile trips as it mixes culture and easy city sights, with fast links to wild places. This means your first day can feel calm and still be full of fun. Many itineraries add a city tour, so you can learn the basics, see main squares, markets and parks, and spot the Andes above the city. On guided tours from Santiago, the main win is how smooth the move from city to the wild can be. Key visits and transport are set up for you, so you can focus on the trip. It also suits private trips, where time in the capital can sit with longer stays out of town, like the Lake District, Chiloé, Patagonia, or the Atacama. With group and private choices, and fully guided or partly guided styles, Santiago is a strong base for a Chile itinerary that starts in the city and then opens into wide spaces.
