My husband and I enjoyed this small group tour of Valparaiso. Felipe shared history and culture of the town and answered all of our questions. His recommendations for the area were all great too!
David_K, Mar 2026
This is a must upon visiting Valparaiso as the streets and hills can be very confusing. It was our first activity upon our arrival, and afterwards we felt like pros at navigating the town. Kudos to Katarina.
Nicole_S, Feb 2026
We really enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot. We were there for the day, the city is so different than Santiago.
DianeMurray, Feb 2026
This is a lovely tour around the best areas of Valparaiso taking in some amazing murals and interesting vehicles. It was mainly walking but included a trolley ride and the funicular railway to increase the scope of our tour. The lovely guide Caterina was very communicative so we knew exactly where to meet in the main square. It was a nice group of six people. Caterina was the nicest person. She was so informative enthusiastic about her city and helpful. I highly recommend this tour

Great walking tour. Felipe explained this section of the Valparaiso, Concepcion, with interesting facts as he showed us it's unique charm. Gave great recommendations which we followed up the next day on our own. Felipe's interest and pride in his city made for a wonderful day (as well as the day after). Thanks Felipe.

We had a great experience on this 3 hour tour. Our guide Felipe was a great guy who was very knowledgeable and knew the right balance between information and showing the key parts of the city. We covered the main sites and felt it was much better than trying to do ourselves. We would strongly recommend.

Had a fabulous time with Esteban who created a personalized tour for me because I was the only person! He took care to show me different areas of Valpo and introduce me to his friends (and sometimes family!) all across the city. Met some fabulous artists that I loved being able to support and rode multiple ascensores. Learned so much about the city I never would have on my own.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you so much for sharing this! We're thrilled to hear you had such a special experience with Esteban. He truly has a gift for creating warm, personal tours. And we love that you got to meet local artists, ride the ascensores, and connect with the real Valparaíso through his eyes (and friends!).
It’s wonderful to know the city came alive for you in such a meaningful way. Thanks for choosing Patatour!

Christian was passionatein his pride and love of his home city Valparaiso. Our small group tour was wonderful. He was successful in personalizing the tour to the interests of the group, and showed how friendly, artistic and creative the vibe of Vaparaiso is. There seemed to be a pleasant surprise around many corners. We highly recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2025

We took the full day version of this tour with Paula and we had a great time! Paula met up with us in the morning and took us around Valparaiso first to the fish market and then to the flea market in the morning. We used the metro, buses, and a funicular which was great as we never would have figured out the buses or probably found the funicular without her and it really showed us more of the city. She also made reservations for us for lunch at a really delicious seafood restaurant overlooking the city. The food was great and my parents and I enjoyed chatting with her over lunch. After lunch, we walked around Valparaiso to see the street art and murals, and Paula was able to tell us about the art styles and artists, as well as take us into several art studios. The tour was great overall and we had a wonderful time and would fully recommend taking this tour (either just the half day or the full day tour)!
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you and your parents had a fantastic day with Paula exploring Valparaíso. It sounds like the full-day tour gave you a true taste of the city's culture, from the bustling markets to the unique public transport experience. We’re especially happy to hear that you enjoyed the seafood restaurant and the chance to chat with Paula over lunch. Her knowledge of the street art and the artists’ studios adds such a special touch to the tour. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are delighted that you had such a memorable time. We hope to welcome you back to Valparaíso in the future!

Cristian from PataTours, was an amazing local guide with deep knowledge of the history and culture in Valparaíso. Our tour was exceptional, and we would highly recommend it to others looking for an intimate visit of the city's historic quarter.
John_F, Mar 2024
Great tour. Tour guide Christian was excellent. Had wonderful knowledge of the area. Highly recommended
Robert_M, Feb 2024
Our guide, Christian, from Paratours, had an intimate knowledge of the areas of Valparaiso we visited and shared hidden gems as we walked through the tour. He did a good job of customizing the tour to match our interest in art, history and architecture.
Bruce_J, Dec 2023
Our guide Seba was very knowledgeable and led our small group through the backstreets of Valparaiso. While we could have found many of the streets on our own, we wouldn’t have know the stories behind the murals and artists that Seba shared with us.
Robert_K, Dec 2023
We had the most wonderful walking tour of Valparaiso today! First of all, I made a mistake in the booking, and Christian was kind enough to reschedule a tour just for my wife and myself. Paula was an incredibly passionate Guide who proudly showed us all the intricate alleyways that we would never have discovered without her. Best of all, we were introduced to a street artist whose work we admired throughout our tour and purchased a print from him! What a beautiful city! My wife and I highly recommend this company because not only do they deliver content, but really care about their customers.
nsoxman, Nov 2023

Judy_M, Mar 2023
We had an excellent experience on this tour. We were late getting there because Uber took us to wrong location and we had to get a second Uber to get there, but our guide rolled with the punches. We highly recommend this tour for highlights of various neighborhoods in Valpo. The street art and views were amazing!
