Top Santiago Food Tours - page 2

Very nice wine tour that gave the history of winemaking in Chile. We appreciated tasting the wines throughout different points in the tour. The premium wine tasting portion afterwards was a more traditional tasting, but well worth it. Easy to get to from Santiago by Uber.

We had such a fun day with our excellent guide and driver! We learned so much about Valparaiso (and Chile’s) history, notable people and places as we explored. Every stop felt intentional to give a deeper feel for life in Valparaiso - from the behind the scenes visit with the piure expert at the fish market, to tracking hidden series of pictures within the streets of murals, to stopping to highlight markers of transitions between different neighborhoods, to identifying symbolism in the murals. We walked a lot and covered a lot of ground and yet it was mostly downhill somehow! The drive from Santiago was lovely, with stops for coffee and pastries then at a vineyard to pet and feed alpaca, wander lovely grounds, and have a no-pressure-to-buy wine tasting with a helpful and friendly host. This tour is for you if you, like us, appreciate minimizing time on a bus and instead prefer an immersive experience with a local guide who is passionate about inspiring appreciation for and understanding of the people, places and culture of Chile. It’s probably also important to note that we never felt rushed, the van was spotless, and both the driver and guide were professional, kind, and respectful of the people we interacted with through the day.

A great way to burn some calories while learning about various elements of Chilean life. Rey and the other guide (we didn’t catch her name!) did a great job keeping everyone safe throughout the tour. One of the coolest things about our booking was that being a Sunday, Chile shuts down the main road to promote an active community which allowed our group to cruise along faster, farther than if booked on any other day! The stop in the market was enjoyable as we walked the numerous rows of stalls to get immersed in the hub of the market. A fresh juice and snack powered everyone for the back half of the tour where we checked out the Park of Structures. Our family enjoyed the friendliness of the team and the pace of the ride. Definitely book this tour if you’re visiting Santiago for the first time! Thank you Rey and team for a memorable ride and glimpse into Chilean life.
