"Excelente el transporte hacia Vicuña y el Observatorio en cuanto a la calidad del auto, los tiempos y la organización. Además, se cumplió con el cambio de fecha solicitado. Muy bonito el lugar visitado en sí. Como único comentario a mejorar: no queda claro en la llegada al lugar qué tour se realizará y, además, si bien los guías son del lugar y no de ustedes, se podría tener más claridad en la descripción que ellos realizan"
