Are the REI adventure tours in Patagonia worth the money?
I would like to go trekking in Patagonia (Chile and Argentina) next year. I’ve never gone on an official tour (other than a few outings that lasted a few hours or half a day), but I enjoy traveling on my own. However, I question the safety of embarking on a jaunt like this by myself. I’m very fit and comfortable with hiking and camping but I don’t have any back-packing experience. So I’m thinking maybe a guided tour would be the right idea this time around.
Has anyone done any of the Patagonia adventure tours offered by REI? They’re ridiculously expensive, but I know it’s a good company and they have an excellent reputation.
Any feedback, suggestions, and particularly info from someone who’s taken one of the tours is much appreciated! My biggest hang-up is definitely the price. I usually travel on-the-cheap.

I have not done it, but one of my best friends and ex-climbing partners did. He said it was great and well worth it.

I haven’t heard about the Patagonia trip in particular, but I have only heard positive feedback from people who have gone on the REI adventures.
I work at an REI store, so I hear about lots of trips. I’ve heard feedback from 3 customers, and one fellow employee. All were glad they went, and had an awesome time. I would go if I could afford it.
