Very good experience - Very good experience. The guide of tour was very helpful. Very quickly we started, before the mass of cruise ship, and we completed the tour on time. I recommend this tour. Is more cheaper from the relevant ecxursions of ship, more aquarate and without many people on the bus. The bus was new and very clean!!

Beautiful - The cathedral was beautiful. The line was extremely long when we first arrived. At the advice of Ana, our guide, we waited till approx. 2:00 when it would be better. She was absolutely right. We waited in a much shorter line and got through to see and experience everything.

Amazing tour and organization! - Our guide was Maria - she was professional, knowledgeable, and gave great local recommendations! In addition to educating us all on the importance and significance of Santiago, as well as the artistic influences of each building, we also had some time to explore the city and try out some of Maria’s recommended bakeries and foods. Also, I very much appreciate that the tour accommodated our change in itinerary from the cruise, as we arrived 4 hours earlier, and they picked us up early in the morning to give us more time :)

Worth it!! - This was a great tour. Maria was very knowledgeable and there were so many wonderful buildings to see. It was so awesome to be there experiencing singles and groups celebrating their arrival after backpacking from their home country/city. We had radios to hear the guide better, but even in the lowest level it was a mother loud and hard to understand her (sound interference, not accent related). I would say that a map would have been helpful and it would be nice if the guide could add telling us in advance if we will be stopping for photos. There were times when we would rush to snap a photo thinking we weren’t going to stop only to find that we would in fact stop. Considering shade and seating options while discussing what we were seeing would also be nice, but she did try to keep us in the shade.

Cancelled? - We purchased this for our cruise. I checked back once in the cruise and found that they had canceled our tour so we had to scramble and find another.
