O passeio foi bastante agradável, o guia Luis nos conduziu de forma excelente, nos mostrando todos os pontos e tirando todas as nossas dúvidas, mesmo com a nossa dificuldade em se comunicar em espanhol. Muito bom!

Great guide, excellent driver. It was raining and foggy on the day, but the guide made up for it with his commentary. Thanks.

Where to begin...I had my friend call the day before, who speaks spanish, to confirm the pick up location. The day of the trip I was outside waiting at 8am (pick up 8:20-9am)...I waited until 9:10 when I had my spanish friend call and see what was going on. To make a long story short after a million stories as to what happened I go outside again to wait. Now just after 11:20 am, the driver arrives.
I had a private tour and English speaking tour guide was GREAT, lots of FUN, and very knowledgeable.
But I returned at the same time I would have if I went on a private tour and picked up at 9am...so now that I am home, I wonder, what might have I missed out on in those 2+ hrs.

Thank you for a really good experience. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel, we enjoyed being treated as special. Our Guide was professional and very knowledgeable and we had a great day. We would recommend the tour to anyone wanting a good value for money experience.

This was one of my favorite tours. I learned a lot about the Chilean cultural and the history of the city in the 1800.

Good tour but could be coupled with Santiago sightseeing by adding an extra hour
We were told that tour did not include a stop at winery ( which we believe was advertised ) but the driver, after agreement of other ( 2 ) tourists stopped at the winery along the highway to Valparaiso.
The selection of lunch in Vina del Mar was a ripoff....you would be better off to eat on your own ( since lunch was not included )...The restaurant just off the beach ( with hundreds of small flags displayed outside ) was very expensive, menus were in Spanish only and staff did not speak English...Even our driver went to eat elsewhere

Our tour guide Maria was not too informative unless asked and then she was great! Definately worth the trip and was only 4 of us - even better value!

The trip worth it a lot, but without our tour guy like Gonzalo is not the same thing. This guy is very knowledgeable about the culture and history of Chile. Great experience!

Well worth doing. Not enough time over on the coast to see everything. Excellent guide.

This tour was a highlight of our stay in Santiago. The driver and tour guide were very attentive to our interests and needs; they were flexible and responsive; and when we got stuck in slow moving traffic at Vina Del Mar, they did not expect us to pay any more for their longer day. The car was roomy and comfortable for the four of us.
Our guide was a native of Valparaiso and had a deep understanding of its history. She was personally delightful.
We would definitely encourage any of our friends to take this private tour.

The tour was quite enjoyable and comprehensive. We spent a little too much time in Valparaiso and not quite enough in Vino Del Mar which is an attractive town. One thing I did not appreciate was the lunch stop at an expensive restaurant where a simple sandwich was not on the menu.

The tour took us where they said they would go and they fulfilled their promise. But I thought it was somewhat mechanical, like doing the same tour for everyone. I pay for a private guide in order to have a tour that fits me, and this didn't. For instance I'm not interested in tasting wine, but I am interested in how it is made. We went to a wine shop for a tasting when what I was interested in was the machines and barrels in the back room that produced it. Again the tour wasn't bad, but it never made it past the tourist attractions.

The tour was very rushed. There was practically no time for sightseeing. wine testing was not offered at all. Bad value for money.

The trip itself covered all that was mentioned in the outline. The process of calling the local tour operator and trying to organize for pickup was somehow cumbersome. I was surprised to see that we were the only participants of the tour. Se we like had a private tour in a nice jeep car. Our tour operator Jackie Aliste gave excellent information about the country and local interesting facts. We stopped at many points of interest. Overall an excllent trip worth taking.
