The tour provided a good overview of the region, including the Straits of Magellan and the city. The tour included stops at local sites, like the chocolate store, cemetery and ship museum. Our particular tour was delayed based on the docking of a cruise ship. It would be recommended that the tour is designed for those that are beginning on land or those that are joining from other tours to avoid delays. Fort Bulnes was rather pricey and should be either built into the tour price or the tour redesigned to provide clearer options, as once you are there you have no other option but to pay the entrance fee. We found this somewhat misleading as the fort is a reproduction.
We had to be tendered in and was 20 minutes early, but our guide was already there with a sign. It's the 500th year anniversary of the first circumnavigation of the Earth accomplished by Ferdinand Magellan so this was an appropriate tour! Though the Victoria ship is a replica, but a very good one, going inside the ship put me in awe as to how how these men survived to finish their trip in 3 years. Made me feel so spoiled in our cruise ship! This tour also included a cemetery, city tour, and a delicious wine and empanada for lunch in a house which looked over the Strait of Magellan. They even gave us a delicious snack into the tour. Our guide was excellent, thank you!! Learned a lot about the city and it's history.
