Incredibly Insightful - Excellent tour with a very knowledgeable guide. If you have a limited amount of time in Santiago this is the best way to get a great overview of the city.

Our driver/guide,... - Our driver/guide, Ignacio, was excellent! He is very knowledgeable about his country and his hometown and was happy to both answer my questions and to help me practice Spanish. He picked us up and dropped us off on time and was careful to plan the day to help us see as much as we could in our short time together. I truly enjoyed my time with him and highly recommend this tour!

Santiago’s Surprising Tour Sites!! - Amazing tour by Ignacio to the many city sites that you could never do on your own in 4 hours!!! The tour was very informative and at a relaxed pace making for an enjoyable time. Definitely a tour worth taking if you visit Santiago.

EXCELLENT TOUR GUIDE AND DRIVER - We were extremely surprised that we ended up with a private tour! Our tour guide and driver were excellent. The tour guide spoke English extremely well and was very knowledgeable. She took us to all of the points of interest that were covered by the tour itinerary, and explained the history extremely well. We were very fortunate to have her as our tour guide. All in all, this was a fantastic tour and we would recommend it highly to anyone.

Wonderful tour guide! - Ignacio is an excellent tour guide. He was concerned about his English but we thought his English was excellent. He is such a nice person and told us everything. He is a safe and great driver. He walked at my pace which was very considerate. I would highly recommend Ignacio.

good tour, english... - good tour, english speaking driver, drove safely
saw most everything on the expected tour
It was too hot, no air conditioning in the vehicle, which prompted
me to stop the tour early.
Be sure to ASK for air conditioning, in February it is very hot, and
with no reprieve from the heat, you will not enjoy the tour as much

A quick city tour - too short. Not a half day tour. - The cable car up the mountain showed how immense the city is. Views were spectacular. The actual city tour was only 2 1/2 hours. One of those hours we were on our own without the driver. We were not properly notified of pickup time. Communication could have been better. The walking time in the city was brief.
