Testimonials
Now that my Easter Island tour is over, I would like to thank you very much for a great time there. The Hotel Gomero and exactly as I had expected and the room excellent and the staff very helpful and friendly. My tour guide Matias was fantastic!!! He really was so knowledgable, supportive, and managed all 6 tour days brilliantly - even swapping some itineraries to suit the weather, and he made the experience wonderful. I think you should in the future indicate that the Signature 6 day tour pacakge gives customers a PRIVATE TOUR GUIDE for these days....it was incredible to have the luxury of my owm guide and 4WD vehicle, and not have to be stuck in a mini-van or bus with 3 or 4 language transaltions and groups of other tourists to wait for!!!Your tour gave me the best possible way of spending the time on Easter Island, without doubt. Many thanks again! William G., Australia
