Top Santiago Day Trips

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.

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 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

Fabulous experience. Great communication the evening before to let us know exactly when to be ready. Pablo was a great guide - lots of information, fun personality. Stopped at a winery along the way for a tour and tasting. Walking tour through Valparaiso which was delightful. Happy to recommend!

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.

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

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.
