An incredible trip with OneSeed - I was debating between this and a G Adventures tour and so glad I chose them! I had only three people in my group and the guide was the loveliest man, and so kind. It was the best way to do the W Trek and took out all of the stress! Highly recommend to all thinking of booking with this company! They were so good in the run up too, and even helped me with other parts of my Patagonia itinery.

Roberto and Mauricio are the two best guides out there. Our experience could not be better because of the wisdom and knowledge they shared with us. The information and stories they shared about the sites we visited enhanced our experience tremendously. Please give them a huge raise.

The guides and itinerary were excellent. Refugios were better than expected. Only disappointment was with the ice hike. Suggest reserving spots at start of trip and getting to Grey refugio earlier so people have option to kayak and ice hike. Roberto was excellent. A professional.
