Wonderful day trip to Valpo - Julio was an extraordinary guide. He was filled with interesting information, and very amenable to adapting the tour to our particular interests (specifically, our desire to tour the Neruda house, La Sebastiana).

Highly recommend - We loved our tour with Julio. We booked a private tour as there were quite a few of us, and were picked up promptly in a very comfortable and clean van. Julio was very knowledgeable and funny and managed to beat the traffic in a local's way! The restaurants that he suggested were also quite good.
The booking process was great as Claudia responded to all questions very quickly and thoroughly. She also was proactive about reaching out to confirm as we got closer to the date. Highly recommend.

Great tour - not one to miss - What a great tour! Valeska as a guide and Israel as driver made for a good team.
First, communication was excellent with confirmation of hotel pickup time. Valeska and Israel arrived on time. We had description of what we were seeing and background information as we traveled to each of the stops. Valeska had a wealth of knowledge that made the entire day one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. We had a picture perfect day with the perfect guide.

Tour was ok, but not the best - We enjoyed the walk thru Valparaiso with all the street art. The views were incredible. Enjoyed the lunch at the beach. The lengthy pick up and drop off of other people put us way behind and took long. Some stops should have been quicker or eliminated to try and keep us on time. Ended up being a very long day. We usually like Viator tours, but sadly this one was not great.
