      Tomas was very...
      Doris_C, Apr 2024
      Tomas was very knowledgeable about the area. He arrived on time, carried water for us and even had bug spray! He took his time explaining the sites we visited and answered all questions we had. We went on a venicular, saw the Saint Mary’s statue and it’s importance to the city, the town square and the history involved. It was a beautiful day weather wise and walking around town was lovely. He purchased a cold drink to sample which contained barley and dried peaches. It was very tasteful! We even stopped in a local mini mart to try empanadas which were delicious.

      Great overview of Santiago !!
      Wayne_M, Apr 2024
      Mauricio, was very knowledgeable and great at explaining everything we saw on our tour. He was very prompt on picking us up at the airport and taking us and our luggage to the hotel before beginning our city tour. At the end of the tour he asked if we would like to have lunch before being taken back to our hotel. He recommended a very nice local restaurant and helped us navigate the menu. Awesome tour guide !!
      Great guide Cristian
      Henry_T, Apr 2024
      Cristian was knowledgeable, protective and fun. We could not have a better guide. We are totally happy with the tour.
      See Santiago with a local.
      Donald_K, Mar 2024
      My sons and I had a wonderful tour of Santiago yesterday. Our guide, Cristian, was extremely knowledgeable about the city and its culture. Not only did he show us the popular places to see in Santiago but also the hidden gems. He introduced us to the best empanadas in town and several very refreshing drinking that we loved. I HIGHLY recommend this tour and Cristian if you want experience Santiago.
      Very best tour of Santiago
      James_K, Mar 2024
      Our guide, Tomas, and our driver, Carolina, were the absolute best. Tomas was extremely considerate as well as knowledgeable. He was extremely patient with my mobility issues. Also, he provided us with some local delicacies as well as plenty of water. Carolina was an expert driver and also very patient. She was always at the designated pickup spot right on time. Of all the guides we had on this trip, these two were the TOPS!
      Fantastic
      Jeanette_N, Mar 2024

      We experienced many wonderful things, and saw the city of Santiago through the eyes of our knowledgable, engaging, intelligent and thoughtful guide, Claudio. We had so much fun, and came away with a tremendous amount of info about the history, food and culture of Santiago. We also completely enjoyed our lunch together. Thank you so much!!
      A Wonderful Day in Santiago
      Laurajane_F, Mar 2024
      We had one of the best tours ever with our guide, Chris. He knew his city very well and was able to answer all our questions without hesitation. It was obvious that he liked his city and wanted us to have a positive experience. He also likes to sing. We were treated to his vocal talents. Bravo!
      Good Tour
      Karl_N, Mar 2024

      1/2 day in Santiago

      Perfect Private Half Day Tour
      Samantha_C, Mar 2024
      Exactly as described! Our tour guide was exceptional. Before we drove away from the hotel he reviewed the tour plans, asked if we wanted to change any stops, and made sure he knew if there were any special considerations or accommodations we needed. Juanito provided the perfect amount of history, architectural details, and local information you would want to really appreciate Santiago. The pick up and drop off at our hotel made it so easy. And even though the recommended 10-15 minutes for some stops seemed like it might be rushed, it was the perfect amount of time to get out of the car, walk around, see all there was to see at that stop, and move on to the next stop. We enjoyed every minute.
      Half Day Private City Tour - Santiago
      SARA_R, Mar 2024
      Our guide Juan was excellent. Told us about the history of Chile and Santiago and took us everywhere. Picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off afterwards.
      Outstanding Tour and Tour Guide
      Daniel_R, Mar 2024
      Juan was excellent, his patience, kindness, decades of personal history, and love for Chile made the tour exceptional. Santiago is a beautiful city and we really enjoyed all the sites that we visited, especially the viewpoint at the top of the gondola. We would highly recommend this tour!
      Fabulous personalized tour of Santiago
      Sharon_S, Mar 2024
      Lautaro, our guide, picked us up at our hotel on time and introduced us to our driver, Patricio. We had a special request to make a stop at The Quilt Shop, where we spent about an hour at this lovely shop, selecting fabrics for my friend's quilting projects before embarking on the rest of our more conventional tour of the major sites in the city. Lautaro was very knowledgeable and shared a great deal of information about the history and culture of Chile and Santiago. We really enjoyed the Metropolitan Park and rode the cable cars to the top for a beautiful panoramic view of Santiago and some tasty ice cream! Then we rode the funicular back down the hill. The Metropolitan Cathedral of Santiago is quite beautiful and well worth a visit. We ended our tour with dinner at a lovely restaurant recommended by Lautaro. We are two older ladies with some mobility limitations. Throughout our time with Lautaro and Patricio, both were extremely considerate and mindful of whatever assistance we needed to enjoy our time with them. I would highly recommend this as a great way to tour Santiago at your own pace.
      Great tour plus valuable help
      Jane_F, Mar 2024
      We ended up having a medical emergency and our guide helped us a huge amount. He took part of the group on the tour in the afternoon and it was terrific.
      The best personalized tour.
      peggyc, Feb 2024
      The personalized tour that we got - including pics- was great. Claudio & Patricio were the best. I highly recommend this tour with them.

      Post cruise day tour
      Karyn_S, Feb 2024
      We had an amazing tour with Juan. He is very knowledgeable about Santiago and Chile as a whole given he has lived here his whole life. He took time to ask if we had anything that we wanted to see and then created a solid tour for us. Definitely worth doing if time is limited or you want to get the lay of the city.
      Awsome
