Private Tour with the Wonderful Mauricio.
We took a private tour with Mauricio and had a wonderful experience tasting wines and visiting unique and interesting wineries. We particularly loved stopping by Casa del Molle where Gabriel lovingly showed all that he was doing on his property. The Tanino restaurant was also a fantastic choice and we recommend getting the 6 course meal with wine pairings if you can. Thank you Mauricio for being so kind and fun to talk to. I highly recommend!

A perfect day hike outside of Santiago
We had a great time with our guide Andres as he helped us navigate the paths through the valley. We had ample opportunity to admire the scenery and take in the fresh air. You could tell Andres loves nature and truly enjoys the outdoors.
Make sure to bring trekking/hiking shoes as the path is a bit rugged. Also, I recommend thick socks or pants that cover the ankles due to the short thistle shrubs. Not a challenging hike but definitely not a stroll in the park so plan accordingly.

Great Experience!!
Joaquin was a fantastic Host! Very knowledgeable, very personable and attentive. He was a pleasure to spend the day with. Our Driver, Isaac also was fantastic. A drive through the mountains is best done by an experienced professional and he certainly is that. Together they provided a Great Experience! I highky recommend this tour and request them if possible

A good relaxed trip to see the Inca Lagoon
I would recommend this experience to someone who is looking for a relaxed itinerary to visit the Inca Lagoon. The tour is very well designed, where each part within is left with ample time, so you won’t feel rushed. Our tour guide Victor was very professional and at the same time very humorous. He kept the entire group engaged along the way by sharing the history and culture of Chile in an amusing way. The Inca lagoon is beautiful in all seasons.

Amazing Day Trip from Santiago
An amazing way to spend a day out of the city. Learned about the culture of Maipo Island, tried many different kinds of wine, and had an absolute blast. This activity was my husbands favorite of the entire Santiago leg.
Shout out to Nacho and Matias for doing an excellent job and bringing the vibes!

Loved it.
La Bicicleta Verde tour was so wonderful and informative. Isa our tour guide was so kind, ulta knowledgeable, and we felt safe following her around the city the whole tour. She is passionate about biking and giving back to the community through biking and that truly comes out during the tour. Definitely do this when you come to Santiago!

Stunning Andes
This tour was absolutely incredible! I’ll start by saying it’s not for everyone—but if you have an adventurous spirit, you’re going to love every second of it.
Jamie picked us up right on time in a comfortable 4WD that easily fit our group of four, along with another lovely couple. The drive up into the Andes alone was an adventure—scenic, exciting, and a great lead-up to what was to come.
The hot springs are rustic, but truly stunning. We were lucky enough to have snow falling while we were soaking, which made the experience feel completely magical.
Afterward, we headed to a charming, authentic German-style lodge for a BBQ. Walking in to an open fire with Chilean wine and pisco sours waiting for us was the perfect touch. The food was fantastic—and there was plenty of it! The hospitality from everyone involved was warm and genuine.
We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this tour. Sitting in the hot springs high in the Andes was an unforgettable highlight—truly a wonderful experience.

Ed the Santiago rockstar
Ed was so knowledgeable about Santiago He was able to answer so many questions and kept us aware of time constraints However this was marketed as a 5 hour trip we were picked up at 8 am and felt we had plenty of time - but it took another hour to pick up more travelers so we were quite delayed

Best way to get to your cruise ship from Santiago!
Alex and Antony were great! Pick up was exactly as planned. The stop at the organic winery was wonderful w some alpacas and lots of gardens. We stopped at Vina Del Mar for some photos and the walking tour of Valparaiso was SO interesting…plus a funicular ride. We got to the port by 2:30 and I would highly recommend this tour as a way to get from Santiago to the port of San Antonio. Tony was a wealth of knowledge about Chile and its history and today’s culture. Book it now!

Great experience
The tour guide was quite informative and mindful to translate all the information he provided. They were very accommodating with my mother. The tour was well paced and actually had time to go swimming. This is my second time touring Valparaiso and Viñas del Mar. This time I paid less than half what I paid the first time and had a much better tour. Highly recommend.

Impressive tour which is a must do in Santiago as there is so much to see!!!
Extremely well organised, especially English communication through provided headsets. Cable car and Funicular included in this tour make it very good value for money and a must do as they are both very impressive. All the family thoroughly enjoyed this tour package.

Great Tour Good Value
Right out of the gate Alejandro was super communicative. The night before the tour we received messages via WhatsApp that were in 3 different languages including a spreadsheet with pickup times.
This was impressive as most of the tours we had been on this trip under communicated and left you wondering if you were going to be picked up.
The cost of this trip was extremely reasonable.
While the trip left Santiago early, Alejandro explained that this would give us an advantage as we would beat most other tour providers to Valparaiso and we would get pictures with ease. He was right!! The streets were empty and we had no trouble snapping photos of everything that we wanted without trouble of working around crowds.
Later in the evening this was confirmed by another couple in our hotel who used a different tour company…..and they had great difficulty getting good photos because of the crowds.
Lunch was provided and was average.
While all of the scenery and history/culture are the are of this trip….I can’t stress enough how much Alejandro made the trip all the more enjoyable.
Make sure to ask him about SlipKnot!!
