Don't let the early pickup time stop you from going on this amazing tour
Today I went on this tour with my girlfriend and we had a fantastic time. Between the beautiful views, local points of interest and great food stops, it was a grwat tour.
I was hesitant to go since the pickup time was so early, but my gf said let's go, so we did. The wake up was rough, but pickup as at our hotel and it made things much easier.
I accidentally did not select a language, so I was on the portuguese/spanish tour, but anything I didn't understand, I got help with. Waldo was an excellent driver and guide throughout the day giving us information and tips on our stops.
There is a chance to get breakfast (kind of expensive, lunch (reasonably priced and good food), and a picnic after lunch with some crackers, salami, cheese and wine/water/juice. We brought food as well and I would recommend doing the same.
There were so many amazing pictures and videos taken, and memories that will stay with us forever. The price wss great and we'll worth every dollar. Thank you!

Incredible day out in the...
Incredible day out in the Andes. Long day starting early but definitely worth it. Our driver/guide was amazing and made the day run so smoothly. Stunning landscapes with a visit to the hot springs and a beautiful Bbq lunch with wine/pisco included. Would highly recommend!

Absolutely worth every cent, you will not regret it..
Today my girlfriend and I had the pleasure of doing this tour with Ignacio as the tour guide and Jose as the driver. The night before we were notified of our pickup time. There were some mechanical issues in the morning, but the plans for delays and updates were clearly communicated.
Ignacio was able to provide lots of insights in both Spanish and English. He made the drive fun with his friendly and positive attitude along with interesting insights about our trip.
The tour was excellent in every way from beginning to end. This was my girlfriend's first tour and she kept thanking me for convincing her to go. We walked through the neighborhoods of Valparaiso while being given insights and history of what we saw. There are lots of opportunities to take beautiful pictures and have little breaks between walking.
The dinner stop at the Mediterranean restaurant was also perfect. The filet with seafood sauce was perfect and enough for 2 people. I highly recommend this entree.
We were able to sit on the beach after and take pictures. Because of the delay we got to see the gorgeous sunset, making this tour even more special.
Again, I highly recommend this tour. The price, communication, tour guide, driver, sights, food, and everything in between was amazing. Thank you!

Mountains, llamas, and wine - oh my!
Alvaro was an expert guide telling us all about the land, the customs, and people and Arturo an expert driver navigating those switchbacks. We truly enjoyed our experience. I wanted mountains, llamas, and wine and the team delivered! This was a core memory for me and my cousin.

A Must Experience Outing
We had an amazing day visiting Inca Lagoon in Portillo. On the way, we had wine tasting and delicious empanadas. The scenery spectacular and the cars and trucks climbing 20 something curves up the mountain were just incredible.
We had lunch at Hotel Portillo (on our own expense) and enjoyed beautiful lagoon, walked down to the beach. The color of water was aqua and snow topped mountains were so picturesque.
Our guide Julio was an enthusiastic historian and educator. We learned so much from him. He seemed to enjoy his job to the max and he spoke excellent English. Most of all, he was very thoughtful host, saving unused bottle of wine from the winery for us so that we can have with our meal later on. We really appreciated his hospitality.
I recommend this company without any reservations.

Maipo valley wine tour
lenjoyed the wine tour of the 3 maipo valley wineries. The guide Joaquin gave a good explanation of the history of the valley & the types of wine. He was very friendly & approachable, answering questions from everyone on the tour. He provided a commentary in both English & Spanish. The driver Daniel was friendly & a good driver.

An outstanding half day...
An outstanding half day tour into the mountains.we saw numerous Condors both at the top and at our way back
Nicklaus, was an outstanding guide and host and provided the perfect stop with wine and cheese on the way back down
It was like having a trip with your friend, rather that a tour guide

Great Experience in the Andes
Many compliments to Hermo for all the attention and professionalism on this tour. I could not have asked for a better guide. The tour was well planned and executed. The snack was a pleasant surprise and could have not asked for a better day and guide to be with.

Great Overview of Santiago
This was a great overview of the interesting sights in Santiago. We rode the whole circuit without getting off until the end. Then we rode the cable car up and the funicular down to the place where we started. One draw back is that there are no signs on the street so it is a little bit difficult to find the stops. You have to play close attention to the intersections on the map. Although the buses seemed to be infrequent, we were able to get on without a long wait. The man who greeted us and announced the stops was very helpful. We felt that we were able to see a lot and have a fulfilling day given our limited time in Santiago. The cable car and funicular were a highlight.

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!

Really good trip when prepared.
You get to experience three different areas outside of Santiago. It was January, but you needed a light jacket since it was cooler and windy.
Long day on the road, but the street art and other stops were good. Skip the lunch since the restaurant cannot handle two vans iof passengers n the designated time for the stop.
Bring something to tide you over and enjoy a relaxed dinner when you return. Also, go to the restroom just prior to returning.
Good experience in many ways!
