    A wonderful tour with Louis

    Fiona_H, Mar 2026
    Lois was wonderful. He was so knowledgable and had so many tales to tell. He was charming and delightful company. He made many helpful adjustments to accomodate our specific needs. I strongly recommend this tour with Louis

    Our tour guide David was...

    Charlotte_M, Dec 2025
    Our tour guide David was very nice and willing to answer questions we asked him, but he did not have anything prepared to show us and talk about. Therefore, we didn’t learn very much and weren’t really sure what all we were looking at. He also pressured us not to stop at any restaurants to eat anything because it was all “too overpriced” and we would be paying for “the food, service, and views”. But that was exactly what we were looking for. Then, he failed to provide us with any cheaper acceptable alternatives. It was all well-intentioned, but made for a difficult excursion. I’m not sure if this was unique to our experience as two young women, but Valparaiso seemed very dangerous and sketchy. People stared and whistled at us, and a young local woman even stopped us in the middle of the street and told us we had to take off all our jewelry to be safe. Another woman cleaning the bathroom at the bus station told us to be careful because there were “a lot of very bad people” in Valparaiso. After spending a day there, I would NOT recommend visiting Valparaiso. I felt uncomfortable and unsafe there. I wish we had spent more time in Santiago instead.

    Safest way to see Valparaiso and learn so much about the history

    Simon_R, Nov 2025
    We very much enjoyed our tour and would HIGHLY recommend the best way to see this area safely is to have a local guide. Our guide, Luis, took great care of us. We learned so much about the city, saw great art and even had a few nice treats here and there. He even helped us get some groceries.

    Great Private Tour!

    Luis was a fantastic guide. To start off with, he was super flexible on timing as we had some unexpected delays, he was very communicative via WhatsApp in advance, he is extremely knowledgeable about the city and happy to just have real conversation about real things. Not to mention he knows the best places to go to see all the amazing murals. He also voluntarily gave more of his time beyond the scheduled amount of time.

    An interesting and engaging tour of Valparaiso!

    Booz was an exceptional guide! He was very well versed in his City’s history. He guided us effortlessly through the City to view the amazing street art and architecture. His commentary kept us thoroughly engaged throughout the tour. A very personable young man. Highly recommend this tour with Booz!

    A Lot of Walking

    Ronald_M, Mar 2024

    David_T, Jan 2024
    We absolutely loved this personalized tour of the city. Our guide was wonderful. He knows all about Valparaiso and showed us so many interesting parts of this world heritage city, including its history. These personalized tours are really the way to go. We highly recommend it!

    Excellent

    ASHISH_A, Jan 2024
    Our guide Luis was great - very informative and knew all the local stuff. We saw Valparaíso from a local’s perspective. At the end, he recommended a restaurant with a great view and good drinks / food .

    A great day out

    Rodrigo is a very knowledgeable guy and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He is friendly, helpful and cheerful during the entire time we spent with him. I would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone who is interested in having him as your tour guide.

    Guide didn't come and I...

    Annette_K, Dec 2025
    Guide did not come and I had to ask, no pro-active information. The agency has only one number in Spain that was not available and is registered in Dubai, all very mysterious

    Hallo Annette, Zunächst einmal möchten wir uns aufrichtig für die Erfahrung entschuldigen, die Sie mit Guydeez gemacht haben. Wir verstehen, wie wichtig es ist, ein zuverlässiges und reibungsloses Erlebnis zu haben, insbesondere beim Reisen und Erkunden neuer Städte. Die von Ihnen beschriebene Situation entspricht nicht den Standards, die wir für uns selbst und unsere Gastgeber setzen. Unser Guide musste aufgrund eines Notfalls in letzter Minute absagen, weshalb er am Tag der Tour nicht teilnehmen konnte. Bitte seien Sie versichert, dass eine vollständige Rückerstattung bereits bearbeitet wurde. Wir bedauern die entstandenen Unannehmlichkeiten sehr und werden diesen Vorfall untersuchen, um ähnliche Probleme in der Zukunft zu vermeiden. Wir schätzen Feedback sehr, auch wenn es nicht in Form einer abgeschlossenen Tourbewertung erfolgt, da es uns hilft, uns zu verbessern und zukünftigen Gästen bessere Erlebnisse zu bieten. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Ihr Guydeez-Team
