My wife Lindsay and I have never had such a perfect travel experience as we did with Quasar. From the months of planning with Tasha to the end of the trip, we always had the advice and expertise of Quasar and their staff and partners to rely on. During the planning process we had many questions and concerns that Tasha handled with patience and experience, She helped us understand all of the places she recommended and what to expect. Once on the trip we were met on time and with a smile and information on what we would be doing. The guides were exceptional. They lead us to the spots we were scheduled to see and recommended other things we should do while we were under their care. It is hard to pick out the most memorable excusion but we were most surprised by the 'Cooking Experience". We expected a cooking lesson where the chef talks about what to do and you maybe get to do some cooking. The experience was totally different. The chef first guided us through all the four food halls in Santiago, stopping to pick up some fish along the way. Then we retreated to his appartment which was fully equipped for catering which is what he does. It also has a view of the Andes to the east. After appertiff's of oysters on the half shell, we went into his kitchen where we made two delicious dishes under his direction. We then feasted on the dishes while samplng 3 wines. Each hotel was 5 star and each one very unusual. For example the Singular Pennisula , an abandoned sheep processing bulding located in Puerto Bories, has obtained international honors for its unique luxury services and for its mastery in preserving the old factory's massive machinery while integrating it into the modern style of the building. The old refrigeration rooms have been turned into lofty rooms and suites with amazing views of the Fjord of last hope. Bur probably the most unusual lodging was the Aguas Arriba Lodge. Hand built from stone and natural woods, the lodge features five generous suites. The owners live there and are very gracious with their attention to each guest. This is where I was rewarded with a sunrise view of Mount Fitz Roy, attached. In closing, Quasar has set a standard that will be hard to duplicate much less beat. From the planning to the finale - everything was better that expected. We will certainly use Quasar in the future. Bob Felton and Lindsay Wallis
