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!

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

A great day out
Enjoyed this all-day excursion into the Andes. Starting off with wine tasting, InSitu Winery is a delightful and picturesque place to sample a red and a white. The we were off on Route 60 up the 29 hairpin curves to Portillo Hotel and the Inca Lagoon. This is truly an amazing experience. Finally we stopped for empanadas and to admire the llamas and a donkey. Pablo our guide was excellent and switched effortlessly between Spanish and English during his interesting commentaries. I thoroughly recommend this tour.

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.

If you are a wine lover, you will love this tour.
Outstanding tour! Our tour guide Pepe was so personable and knowledgeable about wine in general as well as being well versed in the history of Chile’s wine regions. The wineries he chose for us to visit had excellent wines and were so different from each other that we felt that we were getting a great sampling of the wines available in the Casablanca Region. We were a group of eight people who have been traveling together tasting wines around the world and we were very happy with this tour. I highly recommend it!

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!

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!!
