Let’s start with the pros. They picked us up at the hotel. The guide was able to text and let us know his timing. And he was able to speak multiple languages in English Spanish and Portuguese accommodate the group. However, beyond that , unfortunately the first stop is a tourist trap with no air-conditioning or heat for about an hour for people to get coffee and purchase souvenirs and use the restroom, but it was a tourist trap in the middle of nowhere and everything was clearly priced accordingly high. We drove around the sites however the tour guide wasn’t able to provide much history or flare or any of the typical tour guide fun. A lot of get on the bus get off the bus stay together as a group kind of directions. We saw a few sites but mostly just a photo. And we ended at another lunch site that was overpriced and did not provide for any independent exploration maybe this works for some people, but it certainly did not work for us.
Excellent tour. Communicative guide, friendly and very polite.
Very punctual and organized with the schedules, they followed the itinerary, our guide Alejandro was very friendly, pleasant, with many anecdotes, attentive to all the passengers, he gave us tips for lunch and shopping in Santiago. He gave us free time to walk around, and the place for lunch was very good, facing the sea.. Our driver Marcelo was very attentive, great tour, and he also helped us with tips and suggestions. Valparaíso is beautiful. It is an unmissable tour
Driver and guide very punctual, polite, pleasant and helpful. Although the weather was not very good, the tour was well worth it.
It was an unforgettable tour the guide Alejandro excellent, attentive, polite and very communicative. He explained and passed interesting information. Thank you very much for everything, especially for the punctuality.
I decided on the itinerary a day before, booked without problems, they picked me up on time in a very comfortable van driven by Mr. Marcelo. The guide in this case, Alejandro Eiro, took care in a warm but professional way to fulfill everything promised and more, since not all the passengers spoke the same language and he managed to make us all get to know and enjoy it equally. The landscapes and cities were very beautiful, everything highly recommended.
The place and tour were beautiful, the guide Sebastián and the driver were very kind. Sebastián gave very interesting explanations during the tour. Thank you for such a nice excursion.
It was a wonderful walk! The guide Rene was very punctual, attentive cared about our well-being and inserted us in the historical context of the locations.
Very friendly attentive guides. We had a great experience
They picked us up on time, the guide Alejandro and the driver Marcelo were super friendly. Alejandro was very lively and provided us with a lot of information. I wish I had known more about Valparaíso; in the photos, there seem to be more "spots" for pictures, and in Viña del Mar, it is just going to the clock, taking the bus along the avenue that leads to the beach, and then having lunch at a restaurant that was good facing the sea, and from there everyone walks on their own along the beach. I think more could be made of this tour since the places are very beautiful. But we were happy; we liked it a lot, especially the guide's animation, which was excellent. Then they dropped us off near some places we wanted to go in Santiago. They showed us how to get there. Thank you for everything.
