"I just wanted to let you know what an incredible time Jerry and I had on your Patagonia 'W' Multisport tour.

. . . what an incredible time Jerry and I had on your Patagonia 'W' Multisport tour

Our group was amazing. The people that you connected us with were great and we bonded quite strongly with them. The guide, Cristian Sanchez, and the chef, Miguel Chacana, made a perfect pair. Cristian was an AMAZING guide. He was entertaining, engaging, funny, serious, informative and a true leader. He was able to bring the group together and hold it together with ease. He was also very willing to spend every moment introducing us to his local friends and encouraging us to engage in the local customs like sharing tea from a "mate." Cristian kept us on schedule at all times and made the activities flow with effortless ease. He is also one of two guides to have been born and raised in Puerto Natales and this made a huge difference in his spiritual connection with Patagonia -- he was truly one with the mountains and everyone in the group could sense it.

Great tour overall and I will happily recommend your company to others. Our guide was very impressed with your tour operation and he prefers to work with you since you are one of the best operating in that area. This goes a long way in giving me comfort in my recommendation of your firm.

Thanks again and we will be in touch when we are ready for another great experience."
