    This tour was a disaster from start to finish. I had to make several complaints, i had to ask several times for information and itinerary confirmation. I had to complain about 2 hotels i was staying in both of which were stays of 3 days each. I was due to get a bus from San pedro de atacama to arica at 8.30pm, i arrived at the bus station 45 mins before to be told that no buses were going out that evening at all. I was in a cold dark bus station in the middle of nowhere alone and it took some time for this to be organised. I spent another night in atacama, missed the trip to arica and had to spend extra time in Santiago. I was very disappointed by the whole thing... It was badly organised and badly run. The tour was not good value for money and the accommodation was awful. I'm making further complaints.
