Freddy was an absolutely phenomenal guide on the Walking Tour. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about both the city’s history and the LGBTQ+ stories that are so often overlooked. He struck the perfect balance between historical context, cultural insight, and personal perspective, which made the tour feel really meaningful. Freddy created a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere and made everyone feel comfortable, AND the Pisco Sour we had near the end was delicious and the perfect touch! Highly recommend this tour.
My walking tour with Freddy was definitely a highlight of my visit to Santiago! Freddy communicated details well in advance of the tour, offering recommendations and insights that were helpful in my trip planning. On the day of, he coordinated the meeting place and time, including a picture of himself for safety. Freddy shared lots of key insights about the city, the history of Chile as a nation, and the history of the LGBT movement in Chile. As he learned more about me, he shared recommendations about the city sights, nightlife, the people, and safety considerations. This was an excellent way to get to know the neighborhoods of Santiago and get bearings while traveling here. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone (and everyone!). Thanks Freddy!
Our guide, Freddy, was knowledgeable and very attentive. We saw a lot, walked a lot and learned a lot!

We had an absolutely incredible time touring Santiago with Freddy. This was such a personalized experience and I could not recommend it any more. YOU MUST DO THIS TOUR!

We are grateful for your positive feedback and thank you for allowing us to have shown you the sites.
I had such a wonderful time with Freddy! He’s such a fantastic guide and it was like exploring the city with a friend! I would definitely recommend this tour!
What a perfect way to introduce myself to the city! It was my first time to Santiago and I was traveling solo, so I booked the walking tour to get the lay of the land. Freddy met me early at my hotel, introduced me to the metro and we had lunch. Afterwards, we spent the day wandering through the city stopping at historical sites where he shared a wealth of knowledge. Along the way we stopped into a number of restaurants and cafés. It was only Freddy and I. By the end of the day, not only did I know more about Santiago and its history, I also had a one of a kind experience that was more a kin to wandering the city with a new friend. Freddy, thank you for making me feel welcome and ready to explore on my own!
Great tour with an amazing and knowledgeable guide who makes you feel very comfortable and welcome. I definetly recommend it
This was a very pleasant tour on a beautiful day. Freddy is a great guide, extremely personable, and fun. We had a nice time seeing major points of interest in central area and the surrounding neighborhoods. We did a 3 hour walking tour because we were flying out evening. However, it would have been great if we had more time because Freddy had many more great places to visit.
I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see a little more of Santiago. Freddy was incredibly accommodating and let us change our meeting time and location (due to a flight delay). I certainly wasn’t expecting him to be that flexible with the schedule. We just sent him a WhatsApp message to let him know we wouldn’t make the tour because of our flight delay and he responded back right away to better understand the situation and offer alternative options for us. If we’re ever back in Santiago, I would book this tour again as there are quite a few options depending on what you want to see. Thanks again Freddy!
Thanks Freddy, we had a beautiful night. We had fun!!! Thanks for let us taste the best pisco sour in Santiago, at the CH-PE, simply the best! Thanks.
Ivan was great with my mother, showing her the heart of Santiago through stories, data and traditional food. Her attentions, kindness and flexibility made it possible that at almost 70 years old, my mother will enjoy a trip alone. Thank you Ivan!
