We are home now after a month in South America. Thank you so much for the efficiency of your transfer service.
We added a transfer from the airport to Santiago at the very last moment and this went really smoothly.
We had originally just planned to use your service to the ship port.
Three days later your driver picked us up on time and we were taken to the San Antonio port in plenty of time. We boarded our ship and had a great time
while in Chile, Antarctica, and Argentina. I am enclosing a picture of Esther and I at the port.
I would recommend your service again to anyone needing transportation.
Thank you again
