What people love about Chile Tours from Santiago
- Chile - San Pedro de Atacama - 9 days
Everyone helpful and most tours interesting although latterly a bit repetitive - a salt lake is a salt lake is a salt lake. A lot depends on the other people on these tours and I was mostly lucky. It would have have been interesting to have had more exposure to the indigenous people and their culture and also the old town at Tula
- Epic Patagonia
My trip to Patagonia with OneSeed far exceeded my wildest imagination. The landscape is unlike anything I've ever seen anywhere else in the world, and I continue to dream about going back. Patagonia is renewing. While the destination is spectacular, the reason why my dad, sister and I had such a successful trip was due to OneSeed. Chris, the owner of the company, responded quickly to our questions and even spoke to my dad on the phone to answer his specific questions about the trip. In Chile, Roberto, Jorge and Sergio were gracious, warm and incredibly knowledgable about the region. Not only were they fun to travel with, they taught us about Patagonia's history, wildlife and geography. One thing I loved about traveling with OneSeed was the intimacy of the experience; I loved our travel companions and we stayed in unique boutique hotels and ate at delicious local restaurants. I truly couldn't have planned it better myself. Thank you OneSeed. I can't wait to travel with you again soon!
