Great Deal and fun things to do

connieharrigan, Apr 2024

The hop on hop off bus was really a good way to get around Santiago and combined with the tram and the mountain train rides, it was really an amazing deal. I would definitely do this again and recommend it to some Friends.

The cable car was...

Alvin_P, Mar 2024

The cable car was awesome. Had some great views from up there. The staff on the tourist bus are very friendly.

Highly recommend

Leslie_F, Mar 2024

Friendly staff, great way to see the city, beautiful park and view at the top of the cable car ride.

Good overview of Santiago

Christopher_B, Mar 2024

The cable car and funicular were great. The hop on hop off experience with the audio program on the bus was good. It would have been better if there was visibility or clarity of when a bus would be at a particular stop for you to get back on. It was a little bit of a guessing game which resulted in some wasted time. Overall, a good way to get an overview of a new city.

Great tour experience, with a nice guide. Easy to hop off and hop on. The guide was very helpful I advise to all

Absolutely,no any kind of...

Mariusz_B, Feb 2024

Absolutely,no any kind of signs of bus stops takes me hour and a half to find out where the bus got stopped and where is the office to get tickets for the bus very poor organize

Good overview

Mary_L, Feb 2024

It was interesting seeing the mall because it was so modern compared to other parts of the city. Juan was excellent .

Almost five stars

Jane_K, Jan 2024

I bought a one day ticket for the bus tour that included the cable car and the funicular. Well worth the money. I thought the route around the city was good and stopped at lots of different places. However, because I didn't have access to the internet, it was a bit of a hassle showing the conductor my booking. We got around the problem because I had my booking reference but can I suggest that you equip your buses with wifi? That would help not only your customers but your staff as well.

Bad information

Blair_B, Jan 2024

We tried multiple locations to find the bus to no avail the pick up locations we tried were out of date ,disappointed we had no phone service so had to rely on the information provided at booking

Day Tour - Santiago Chile

Frank_B, Jan 2024

Was an easy tour for short.notice. Bought tickets online the morning of tour day. Wish bus waiting period was a little closer to the 20 minute window.... but overall it was a good DIY tour Funicular and Gondola were highlights so make sure you get the premium tour where those tickets are included.

Fun day trip around the city

Zubair_M, Dec 2023

An excellent and very convenient experience around Santiago. The support staff were very friendly and helpful. All the stops are close to the major tourist attractions.

Hop on and off bus

Ken_P, Mar 2023

Funicular and cable car were highlights of this trip. Hop on and off bus was fine although audio a bit hit and miss

Santiago Hop On to Hell

Donald_B, Mar 2020

You have to go to a Turistik location to get your vouchers. The closest to us was in a mall. It turns out it is in the back section of the 5th floor of Costanera Mall. I had purchased 2 classic tours. The ticket agent pointed out that what I had purchased did not include the cable car or the funicular or the old part of the town. Basically what I purchased was a ride around the modern part of the City. Somehow "Classic" to me means seeing history, but that was wrong. Next, the description of the tour says in includes "a panoramic trip over 800 meters in Cable car". The ticket agent said I had to purchase the "Plus" version of the tour to get the cable car and the historical part of the tour. I handed over another 20,000 Chilean Pesos ($24 US) since history was what we enjoy. We found the Bus Stop 5 and they checked us in using the QRL or whatever that square thing is called today. That made me wonder why they could not have accepted the Viator confirmation as it had a QRL on it. The answer is that "Customer Care" is not something that Turistik (the tour operator) cares about. The agent on the bus was very nice asked where we wanted to go first. We said the Cable Car and the old part of the city. The agent said we should stay on the bus until we got to an unlisted stop between Stops 2 and 3 where we would transfer to the Cable Car. What actually happens is you get off the bus and are met by another Turistik agent who then leads you on a 4 or 5 block walk to the Park where the cable cars are. There was no warning of any type about this walk until the agent said "Follow me" and we started off. When we got to the ticket office for the cable cars, we showed the additional voucher the agent at Costanera Mall had sold us and we were each issued a yellow band for the Plus Tour and we headed for the cable cars. We were getting ready to board when the operators said they had no electricity so the cable cars were not operating. They said they had no idea when or if the electricity would be restored. We waited for quite a while and while there were lots of people talking into radios, it was clear nobody had any idea how to deal with this situation. The main problem is that the cable cars are the ONLY CONNECTION between the "Classic Tour" and the "Plus Tour". I could be wrong but I seriously doubt this is the first time the power went off. We waited and we waited. At some point, we noticed people starting to go back to the Park entrance. We were told that they were going to get a bus to take people to the point where the funicular comes down. It turns out that the "connection" actually consists of the cable cars plus the funicular. It was probably another 15 to 30 minutes before a bus showed up. It then took us to the point where the funicular comes down and near where the bus for the "Plus" route stops. A "Plus" route bus was at the stop so we got on. We were then told that the authorities had closed off their access to the historical area except for a couple streets. So we rode around a few streets, tried to see the buildings and soon we were back at the funicular stop. Now the situation got worse. Nobody could tell us how to get back to the Classic route. One person said to wait near the gate and a bus would take us. So about 20 of us tried to find some place to sit in the shade as it was quite warm out. We waited and waited. Different people would go talk to a Turistik agent and then would return and sit down. There were no announcements to the group at all -- people would just take turns asking various Turistik people about the situation. After at least 45 minutes of this, we noticed a large group of people come out of the funicular area. We then saw a few people go up to the funicular area and "disappear". Still absolutely no announcements or guidance to the group of people sitting near the entrance. Finally, we went to the funicular entrance and another person said the only way to get back to the Classic line was to take the funicular to the top and then there would be a bus there to take us down to the cable car entrance to the Park. I asked if a bus would be coming to pick us up at the funicular entrance where we had been waiting so long. They said no bus as coming. This was totally illogical. It was not a long bus ride (maybe 2 miles) from one entrance to the other. It would have been so easy to set up a shuttle service to take the place of the cable car/funicular. But no -- Turistik had no concern for helping their customers make the connection between the two routes. We decided our only option was to take the funicular and try to get back to the Classic route that way. The funicular ride would have been enjoyable in any other situation, but today it was just another obstacle to us trying to get off what we now referred to as the Hop On to Hell. We finally reached the top of the funicular. I asked where the bus was to the cable car entrance. The Turistik agent smiled and said it was only a 5 minute walk and he pointed the direction. Just what we needed - another walk. There was a group of maybe 10 now as some were still back at the funicular. We walked and ended up in a second area. A Turistik agent said the bus was only 10 minutes walk away and pointed the direction. I was furious by now. We finally reached the area and a bus was parked and two Turistik personnel (the driver and one other) were sitting in the shade relaxing. Given the circumstances, Turistik should have had the bus go up to the funicular to help their customers. But no, again the Turistik motto of "Just give us your money and no we don't care about you" came through. After maybe ten more minutes, the bus left and eventually made it to the cable car entrance of the Park. From there, we walked on our own (no guidance given) the 4 or 5 blocks back to the phantom stop for the Classic bus. After about 15 minutes, a Classic bus came by but it was in the center lane and appeared that it was not going to stop. We both waved and other people started waving and the bus finally pulled over. After another 20 minutes, we were finally back at Stop 5 and the Hop On to Hell ride was over.

We booked the tour since they have been great in other cities. Not so, in Santiago.

Anne_H, Feb 2020

The audio portion is difficult to understand due to bus and travel noise and the announcer's accent. It would be helpful to tell folks the ticket pick up point in the Costanera Center is on the 5th floor. Furthermore the bus stops are not marked on the street.

Découverte de Santiago

Nous avons apprécié. L’horaire des bus était bien respecté. Le personnel est gentil. Un audio en français aurait été un plus. Aussi, il devrait y avoir une affiche qui indique l’endroit où on doit attendre le bus.

El día de la diversión

Carmen_S, Aug 2023

Es una experiencia extraordinaria. Conocí sobre la cultura y la historia de Chile. El recorrido en bus y la experiencia del teleferico y funicular fueron inolvidables. Todo el personal de Turistik fueron muy atentos y están muy capacitados en sus puestos.

estafa

MARIAROSA_V, Feb 2020

solo conocimos el cerro San Cristobal, el funicular y el telesferico. Despues tomamos el otro bus que sólo recorría el barrio. Lo tomamos en los Conquistadores y primero dijeron que teníamos que bajarnos porque no correspondi9a y luego nos dejaron en la Estación Escuela Militar donde tomamos el metro para volver a Viña. Sólo anduvimos unos minutos en el bus para llegar al funicular y después recorrimos algo para llegar a la Estación Militar. Una estafa pára lo que pagamos el clasico y despues 40.000 pesos mas y por nada. Es una gran estafa
