Great experience - Excellent tour through Valparaiso and its historical beauties, as well as in Viña Del Mar to taste the famous Centolla, see sea lions and drinks on the beach. Recommended

Great tour and great guide - Me and my friends did a private tour with Eugene in March 2024 and it was a wonderful experience. Everything was well organized, the van arrived to pick us up on time and we visited all the places we wanted, even made some extra stops at the beach to watch the mighty Pacific Ocean. Also I want to say special thanks for choosing the winery to do some wine tasting, it was a very serene and beautiful place with decent wines. We will come back next year to do the tour with Eugene again.

Best way to see Valparaiso and Viña del Mar! Fantastic way to enjoy your day! - Eugenio was the perfect tour guide. Has great communication and makes sure you get the experience you want. His knowledge of the area helped him reveal to delights of the tour in a way you could never get with a large group. Each sight he revealed uncovered more interesting sights and the place he picked for lunch was one of the best restaurants with amazing food and drink -- I don't think I've ever had such a wonderful lunch with an ocean view anywhere in the world. And Eugenio continually checks in to make sure you're comfortable and enjoying the day. If you begin in Santiago, don't let the travel deter you, the transportation was timely, comfortable and safe. If you pick this tour up when visiting the port, it will beat any tour from a larger company or cruise hands down. The personalization and ability to share the points of interest just could not be matched with a large bus full of a tour group. I would readily turn to Eugenio for any other sign seeing in the area. He's a gem.

Great tour with Eugene - Eugene provided a great tour! He provided an in depth tour of Valparaiso. I enjoyed visiting one of Pablo Neruda’s homes, going on a funicular to see a different part of the city, and walking around the port area. The day ended with a delicious lunch in Vina Del Mar and seeing a rock that is similar to the ones on Easter Island. Thank you, Eugene!

Great overview of Valparaiso/Viña del Mar - Great full-day tour with Eugene, exploring the beautiful and eclectic streets and hills of Valparaiso. Then having a tasty lunch at an oceanside restaurant in Viña Del Mar. Great way to get a brief overview of both towns!

Eugenious! - Eugene was such a gem - a Brazil-born Chilean! We shared great conversation in the car on the way to/from Valparaiso, he shared personal anecdotes and made us comfortable. He took us to all the major spots and was very flexible - we wanted to skip lunch and head back, no problem! The weather was not great, so the fog killed a bit of visibility, but we were able to snap some great pics and move on. This is a perfect day trip from Santiago, and for this price it's much better to do a private tour than large group, for flexibility.

Great and Dependable Private Tours - We came across Empire Vasquez Tour here on TripAdvisor based on the good reviews and we were not disappointed. We spent two days with Eugene on two separate tours to Valparaiso and Maipo Canyon. Eugene went above and beyond taking care of us on the private tours. He is friendly, authentic and easy going. He was observant and had customized the itinerary on the spot based on his observation of our interests and style. Please note he will ask for a small deposit via PayPal when you book with him, but you should not be concerned or alarmed. He is honest and trustworthy in payment processing. Thank you Eugene for making our Chile trip a memorable and enjoyable one!!

Amazing excursion - Eugene was a great guide! He took care of us the whole day on 19th of March which was also my birthday. He took us to many beautiful places on the way from San Antonio to Santiago with a stop over in Valparaiso. He is also a great driver. We would definitely use his services again. Thanks, Pakize & Yusuf

Best day out....Ever! - Luis, our guide, was absolutely amazing. His English was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. He drove safely and took us to some amazing places to view the street art in Valparaiso. He was always making sure that we were comfortable and happy throughout the day. We had a running joke with him about the fog and lack of sun so when the sun finally made an appearance he was most happy. Luis also took us to an authentic Chilean restaurant and ordered the most amazing food for us. Warning.....2 Pisco Sours with lunch can make you sleepy😂 After being let down by a previous travel company it was lovely to deal with a professional. Thank you Luis for a fantastic day out. To all fellow travellers...book with this company. It was money well spent and you won't regret it.

A trip not to be missed! - Brilliant! Fantastic guide (Luis) with a heart of gold, very good English, great person. At the end we hugged, need i say more? Valparaiso is definitely one for the "Bucket List" . The cost was very competitive and reasonable. Cant recommend highly enough.
