We were punctually picked...
We were punctually picked up at the hotel in Providence at 7:50 AM and after two additional pickups in Lastarria we headed out to the Maipo valley. Pablo provided sufficient information about the upcoming tour and a brief on Chilean history and culture. We visited three wineries each with distinct flavour and decent wine selections.
Oscar was a solid and attentive driver.

Worth the Trip in Santiago!
Lovely experience all around. The dinner at the end of the night was spectacular - the food was incredible. Lots of options from Wine, Cheeses, Beef, Pork, non-alc, etc. The driving did take a bit of time but the driver points things out along the way. The thermal pools were also spectacular!

An exceptional trip
This was such a superb trip. Both the driver and tour guide were exceptional; very organised and knowledgable as well as being very friendly. We loved the stunning landscape of the Andes and the beautiful lagoon. The visit to the llama farm was so much fun and we enjoyed having a group meal outdoors tasting the local Chilean wine.

We recommend it
We had a fantastic day visiting the In Situ family vineyard and Laguna del Inca. The wines were excellent—arguably even better than those at a larger vineyard we visited a couple of days earlier. The van was comfortable throughout the journey, and our guide, Alvaro, truly made the experience stand out. He was warm, knowledgeable, and engaging, and his fluency in both English and Portuguese made communication effortless.
Although we spent a fair amount of time traveling between locations, it never felt like a drawback. The stunning scenery, diverse wildlife, and ever-changing landscapes more than made up for it. Overall, it was a memorable and rewarding experience that we would highly recommend to anyone looking to combine great wine with breathtaking nature.

Amazing Hiking Opportunity in the Andes
Definitely a top day tour from Santiago. Andres was an amazing guide with a love of the Chilean environment and the Andes mountains. He paced the tour with consideration of all participants and kept us entertained with information about the Andes mountains and eco system.

Andes Mountain / Valle Nevado tour with picnic
Takes about an hour to get up to the Valle Nevado ski resort and then an hour back to Santiago. The picnic was in a very pretty location where we got to see some Andean condors. Just make sure you're in good shape as this tour involves a fair amount of hiking at altitude (~10,000 ft/3000 m). My guide, Leon, did an excellent job during this approximately 5 hour tour.

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

Informative and fun day
Jorge was a fantastic guide who made the day very special for us. Even though 12/14 people on the tour were Spanish speaking, he took the time to also sit with my wife and I and explain everything in English (we do not speak Spanish very well, but we could understand his Spanish for many items).
We were given history and context and he made the day fun, as he is also a teacher.
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 Wines, Great Experience
Great selection of wineries, Emiliana Organic Vineyards was the first stop and impressive on how owners are totally organic, the Coyam wine was great and don’t miss the Alpacas! Next stop was Bodegas Re where we learned the story of Cabergnan wine and the clay pots, also very tasty. We concluded at Casas Del Bosque. Upscale facilities with great wine, try the Trampa and Chardonnay. Our guide Samantha was terrific providing us with much information and Juan was the perfect driver. Great experience

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!!
