The amazing visit to Valparaiso and Vinas del Mar - Francisca and Carlos were great, courteous, and knowledgeable. They made us feel at home. Explained all the details and history of the places we visit. They gave us a taste of the culture, foods, wine, and beer of the country. We highly recommend them and would use them again when we return.

Good for last resort, if you plan ahead can find same service for less $$ from others. - As noted Hector is the middleman between you and the tour guides. He arranges tours between his excellent base of private tour guides and you. All the fabulous reviews posted here are really about the private tour guides and not really about Hector's process. My tour guide was also excellent, however I had a few issues with Hector's process. His prices are higher than most, which is to be expected, because you have to pay the standard price for the tour guide PLUS Hector's fee. He is in business to make money. You can find the same tours directly which will cost less. But if you're in a last minute bind...well you have to pay up. For credit card purchases you pay through a Credit Card System which ends up charging you a 4% service charge plus a 3% credit card fee. They state the 4% is less than credit card foreign transaction fees, but most travelers have credit cards that don’t charge foreign transaction fees. In addition, they charge you in USD converted at a lower than bank rate. Better to just charge in Chilean money because you’ll get a more favorable rate from your credit card company. Would be so much cheaper if the company would just charge your credit card in Chilean money and add the 3% fee. The net result is that my final bill was about 10% higher. Normally I would pay in cash upon arrival as other tour companies have allowed. But Hector wants payment upfront using the Wise.com wire transfer service. Of course they have fees and exchange rates which really isn’t much cheaper than paying by credit card. Hector’s service is fine, but you pay more plus have unnecessary fees involved in payment. No other reviewer seems to mention this. I rated Hector’s guides as a 5 – just like a majority of the reviewers. Hector’s process is rated a 2. Could be simpler and more affordable.
