Easter Island done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Recommended.

Easter Island done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Would send friends their way.

Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

Easter Island done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Solid operator.
