Santiago day tour. - Catalina was an excellent guide, she was very knowledgeable about the history and current events in Santiago, Chile. She is also very personable. The fact that we had a driver and guide allowed us to cover more ground in a shorter amount of time while learning about what we were seeing. She had a try a local drink that we never would have tried on our own. We loved it. Very nice experience.

FANTASTIC tailored tour with Alvaro - Alvaro was wonderful. From fast and frequent communication before our arrival in Santiago to being 15 minutes early to pick us up at our hotel, fantastic. The tour itself was great, Alvaro had tailored it to fit out walking limitations and made sure not to rush. He is a walking encyclopedia on Chile and Santiago. Our tour was just what we wanted, an overview of the city and a gondola ride for the views from up there. A real added plus was our driver, Christopher. He drove the van, safely, comfortably, while Alvaro was free to provide running commentary, answer questions and devote all of his attention to us. This is real value added. Huge thanks to both of them for making our Santiago experience memorable. Alvaro is THE GUIDE to book.

Great private tour of Santiago-Full service ! - Álvaro is an excellent and full service tour guide. We were traveling with a couple of friends staying at a different hotel and landing at different times. Álvaro hired a driver so he could focus on giving us a tour while someone else focused on safe driving and making convenient drop-offs and re-pick-ups during the tour. It was really well thought out. We did a half day tour of Santiago because it was our first day of arrival. He gave us a great tour with insights into the city's history, culture, and even politics, etc. He really looked out for us in a way I never thought of before but now really appreciate. It was very subtle, but he carries a telescope stick/cane that he uses to subtly warn us of uneven pavement, or steps. It is such a value add because we are so busy looking up and around us, that we don't notice uneven pavements and small steps all around the city. He also warned us when we were in areas known for pick-pocketers so we would be more aware and cautious, while still thoroughly enjoying the tour and all the wealth of information he was sharing with us. He was also very good about pointing out photo opportunities and taking pictures of the 4 of us together or as separate couples. We liked him and the tour so much that we wanted to do the Valparaiso & Viña del Mar full day tour with him the next day, but he was unfortunately already booked up. But he set us up with his colleague Vanessa (see separate review), as well, on the third day, he set us up with the same driver (Natalia who was on Day 1 half day tour, Day 2 full day tour - who was very friendly) to drive us to the Cruise we were about to embark on. With Álvaro we felt we were always in good hands. His journalism background and year and years of experience in tourism and being a native of Chile gave us an awesome experience. From being picked up, dropped off and everything in between and across multiple days. Truly a full service tour service. Highly recommend his services!!

A great tour! - We really enjoyed our tour of Santiago with Juan Pablo. He is an excellent guide who really looked after us during the time we spent with him. The tour was a great way to see many parts of the city and to learn about it. We would highly recommend this tour to visitors to Santiago -- and would recommend Juan Pablo as a great guide.

Best guide ever - Rodrigo V (can’t remember his full name) was an incredibly wonderful guide, the best I’ve had on tours. He was very knowledgeable and amusing, and knew the best spots to show us the graffitis. And he knew when every building in Valparaiso was built.

A little dissatisfied - Good tour of the city. Hit all of the important sights. Was Sunday so the city was empty. Tour guide was kind. We were expecting more of a driven tour but walked most of the 4 hours.
