Language issue - Tour was mostly in Spanish, in which I am not very fluent. Guide spoke enough Englis that I generally understood what we were looking at and when to record van.

A Great Experience - Our driver, Esteban, was very personable and the ride was safe, comfortable and relaxing. Christopher, my guide, is excellent. He’s very personable and easy connects with people, even with introverts such as myself. His knowledge is broad, beyond just architecture, geology, history, culture, cuisine and flora and fauna. Further, he is quite artistic and captured many fantastic pictures and videos of me at our destinations. I feel as though I got to see and experience everything I wanted and I have fantastic photos and videos to preserve the memories. Definitely a great value and a very enjoyable time.

Private tour to Valapariso & Vina Del Mar - We booked through Viator, a private tour with guide Franco and driver Pablo. The whole day was great from start to finish. Franco met us promptly and Pablo’s car was clean and comfortable. Franco was engaging throughout. We stopped for breakfast and a toilet stop and fed some llamas. On to Valapariso, some history about the city and a really enjoyable walking tour with lots of interesting facts that perhaps other guides won’t tell you. Plenty of murals and lots to see and learn. Lunch was a short drive on in attractive Vina Del Mar, looking out on to the Pacific Ocean. Before heading back to Santiago we enjoyed a spectacular viewpoint of both Valapariso and Vina Del Mar. Would highly recommend the tour and especially Franco and Pablo.

Beautiful Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar - Great day with Our guide Jose Paquin and driver Pablo Fuentes. Private tour for my husband and I. We visited Valparaiso and Vina del Mar. Beautiful vistas and very knowledgeable tour guide and very good driver. Had a scenic and wonderful lunch overlooking the ocean in Vina Del Mar at Siete Mares. Would highly recommend these two gentlemen.

Beautiful tour with rich history - The city of Valparaíso has great relevance in Chilean history, and Viña del Mar has a beautiful landscape.
Guide Franco enriched the tour with lots of historical and geographical information about the region.

Enjoyable and informative. - Nice trip to two places that I didn't know much about but were well informed by Franco (Arial) along with the driver Juan. Franco was very knowledgeable about all areas of the trip which resulted in an interesting and enjoyable day. Comfortable ride and nice lunch location made for a worthwhile venture.

A great get out of Santiago excursion - So a great way to see the coast and get out of Santiago. Vina del Mar was more what I was expecting Chile to be like as a first time visitor. The highlights were seeing a real Moai and having almost 2 hours on the beach via skipping a lunch. The price was right and the hostess was very knowledgeable. It was the second best thing we did on our vacation.

Budget-friendly way to explore 2 interesting coastal cities - Overall great way to experience the Chilean coast on a tight timeline and budget. Because the van couldn’t park in one place very long in Valparaiso (tight streets), we got on and off the van a lot. Would’ve preferred a longer walking tour instead. The Flower Clock in Vina Del Mar wasn’t very interesting. I much preferred seeing the authentic moai from Easter Island. Lunch was in a nice spot that had great views and good food but on the pricier side for a lunch. Our guide was great and managed leading the tour in Spanish and English quite well. Comfortable, air-conditioned van. Pickup was very early for us because we stayed in Vitacura.

Pretty but uneventful - Seeing the cities was fun and pretty, but our tour guide didn’t give us much information about the areas we toured. Would have liked more history of the cities and explanations of what we were seeing instead of just a “look and see” tour

Very unprofessional! - The tour driver José and the tour guide Ignacio were very unprofessional. They arrived around 45 minutes late at the pickup point and rushed us to the places of interest to make up for lost time. The driver was very reckless and made us feel unsafe because he was constantly speeding and swerving in and out of traffic. He was also very distracted in his conversation with the guide and some passengers, which often included political talk that had no place in a tour like this. The music in the vehicle was usually very loud and made it hard to understand what the guide was saying; he didn't have a microphone, so it was hard to hear him even without the music. The listing of this tour says that there's an option in English, but the guide was barely able to introduce himself in my native language. Unfortunately, I can't recommend this tour or any tour where José and Ignacio are involved because, although they treated us respectfully, their lousy work ethic is dangerous.
