Make sure you check it thoroughly before you book it, we thought we had everything covered until on the bus when we were informed their ticketing had changed and they no longer would honour what we had paid for
We were supposed to go for "Tourists, Cerro San Cristóbal and wine tasting" and paid a higher price but it had not started according to the guide on the bus. We only did the bus ride for one loop and no wine tasting.
We never received the voucher from Viator and they could not find us in their system, so it took a while to contact anyone that could help. Finally the company issued a day pass (not the 2 day that included the blue line and wine tasting that we paid for). The first guide explained this in a kind manner and since we were planning to use it only for a day it was not worth fussing; but then the second guide kept on fighting the issue and we missed all the narrative of the first 2 stops although we mentioned we wanted to listen to it. The stops are not well marked, so I would recommend to get back on it on the same stop you took off
Good commentary, well worth the time and money. Will say that the stops could be more clearly marked.
The meeting place was easily found. The host on the bus was super attentive and explained everything.
Miguel and all of the drivers and assistants were friendly and very helpful! Many stops near major destinations! The funicular to Church has outstanding views!
Driver's vehicle was not road worthy. Should not have been approved to transport tourists. Had re-tread tires. One came apart at high speed. Could have been a serious accident. He had no spare tire. We had to take an Uber from half way back to Santiago adding big expense. Two hour delay.
very good way to see the sites of the city of Santiago and learn of its interesting history and culture
This is a great tour and definitely hits all the highlights. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Loved the app to track where the buses were. Without signage marking the bus stops it was a little difficult to locate where pick up was going to be if you did not get off at that stop. More buses running the route would be nice as well.
I purchased these tickets for December 23rd. I arrived at stop #6 and waited. After about 20 minutes a bus finally approached, however, it abandoned the route and turned off at Compañía de Jesús. I could see it do this from where i waited. It was 17:40. Ten minutes later a second bus approach stop #6 where I stood waiting. I watched as it also abandoned the route and drove off down Compañía de Jesús. Another ten minutes passed and 18:00 arrived. All of this activity could be observed in the app in real time. I took screen shots.
The service I paid 45USD for is supposed to run to 18:00, but if the buses abandon the route early, the servicedoes not run to 18:00 or 17:20 for that matter. I complained Turistik. They acknowledged the problem. They offered me service on replacement date after my flight left for the Northern Hemisphere, but not a refund. Suffice to say this was not what I expected. I do cannot recommend duch a service.
If you try to cancel your reservation, you will be charged 100% cancelation fee - which has never happened before. This is unacceptable.
Be aware! Be aware!
Much cheaper to buy directly from an agent. Stops were difficult to find as no signs. I’d recommend but buy on the bus.
The city has a lot to offer; but the bus trip missed information on 6 of the 10 stops. The earphones which are normally very helpful were not on this trip. They had a lot of static. My wife and I were very disappointed. We have scheduled a two day experience in Buenos Aires and are hoping the experience will be much better.
Staff was amazingly supportive to this lady traveling alone with limited Spanish to get her through. I’m grateful
Failed service! Lost money! Did not get pdf of ticket!
No map showing where are pickups; no links on their email, email does not exist. Never trust them.
Difficult to find the stops, need more information prior such as Tourista App and map of stops. Frequency between buses is too long usually a wait of 45 minutes. On board staff were attentive and helpful!
We’ve done a few other Holp on Holp buses in different cities, and this clearly was the best in terms of service from the staff
Always the best way to scope out a new city, then stop where you want to spend extra time! We loved this city, and feel like we know our way around a bit! Buses are clean and timely, city needs to trim the branches that hit the second level! Makes it exciting tho!
Seeing the city on a busy Friday afternoon, lots of traffic, impatient drivers, tall buildings. The technology system for listening did not work very well....idea is good but the reality is that we passed most of the places identified verbally and could not really figure out what it was referring to.
High quality, well managed, good run-thru of city. Easy on-off setup. Stops well placed. Staff friendly and solid English.
We went to the place listed in the information to catch the bus. We asked a security car if this was the right place since there was no sign. He said it was on the other side of a very big and busy street, so we went there and waited over an hour. We asked a local shopkeeper, and he said the place had been moved a block and a half away. We went there and waited half an hour. A bus drove by but didn’t stop. To top it off, the bus driver shook his finger at us like we were doing something wrong. We gave up. Only good news is the company was prompt with a refund.
I saw the places which I missed in previous days in Santiago walking according to the map and visiting museums
Good introduction to the city. Allows you to choose the sights most interesting to you and provides transportation.
weather was great for this trip we had a nice time with the guides on the buses. would recommend people use this bus
very disappointed, After asking the taxi to take me from the airport to the first address mentioned in the mail at the meeting point ( cost me 30 $ ) the bus never showed up after 1h30 at that place, walked 3 KM to go to the other point Plaza D armies, it is so big and no details about where the bus will come for P up, never found it, will not recommend at all - need more accurate data about meeting point very disappointed
I think the purpose of the double decker tour bus was just a more cost effect mode of transportation around Santiago. We did not receive any history or information of any of the sites that we stopped at. It was more of a drop off/get on at each stop. We also had a hard time trying to figure out the specific location to get on the bus to start the tour. This information was not given in the ticket.
Most bus stops are not marked. The address we were told to go to, to meet the bus was 7 blocks away on a different street. Three locals tried to help and sent us to 3 different locations. Fortunately, the last one got it right. So we met the bus 1.5 hours late.
However- once on the bus, the staff was friendly and helpful. The tour narration on our headsets was good and interesting. Also, the bus was not too full, which made the tour easier and more enjoyable.
One more issue: several headphone jacks (plug-in spots) were bad, with a lot of static noise. However, we did find two that worked well.
The pace is very nice. We had plenty of time for what we did.............
That's ever,thing thatvi need to say.
Great way to see the city and know what you would like to go back to later. Was a hot day and in the bus you got the cool breeze.
We had a fantastic time. Got on and off the bus 3 or 4 times and hardly any wait for another bus. It was a great day!!!
