Top Santiago Day Trips - page 5

My group had a really excellent wine tasting tour through the Maipo Valley with Benjamin leading the charge. The wineries were thoughtfully chosen to give us a broad experience of the different approaches to wine production in Chile. All of the winery representatives provided interesting insights, and the tastings themselves were delicious. My group especially appreciated the other guests on the tour. We weren’t expecting to enjoy everyone’s company so much, and I’m sure it wasn’t just the wine that made everything so enjoyable (but it certainly didn’t hurt)!

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

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.

Very good day trip to Valparaiso and vina Del Mar. The guide Pablo was super friendly and informative throughout the tour explaining all the history related to both places as well as having very positive energy. The overall tour covered the colorful streets of Valparaiso and they give you one final hour in Vina Del Mar to explore near the beach. The bus had very comfortable seats but the company should work on getting rid of the odor when you enter is one potential issue and maybe can additionally cover something more in both places if b possible is only feedback I’d say is worth considering. Other than that overall it’s a great day trip and not too hectic and can be made even better if the above feedback is taken into account.

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

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.

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!!

It was an amazing trip! Just an hour away from the big metropolis finding yourself surrounded by the stunning beauty of the Andes! Our guide Diego was so informative and well acquainted with the area we visited. I loved his quick with and sense of humor.
