Santiago: Valparaíso & Viña del Mar — Chile's Coastal Masterpiece

Jose took us on a great private tour of Valparaiso and Vino Del Mar! It was personalized and he was very knowledgeable about the areas since he was from those areas. The beach view during lunch was fantastic. He knows many of the street artists and vendors along the routes and we went to places that had great views where other larger tours would not be able to access. Andreas are driver was a very good responsible Driver. Strongly recommended this tour

We were disappointed in the tour. The pick up was 40 minutes later than stated. Despite booking an English tour we were the only people who spoke English. The others all spoke Portuguese. Although the tour guide did give us information in English we felt we missed a lot of the information. To be honest it seemed that the purpose of the tour was to take us to places to spend money eg 44 minutes at Rio Tinto, 2 hours at a Viña del Mar restaurant which was over priced and then a stop at some artisan stalls. We did have a nice walk through the streets of Valparaiso but in talking with another tour guide it seemed we missed some of the highlights.

Pablo Rayo was an excellent guide and provided lots of historical information at each location.His light humor helped keep the smiles along the way. Some of the families along the tour wandered off and kept him busy, but he maintained his patience.

We had a great day, however the weather wasn’t great so dress accordingly. The guides were great we were put on a Spanish tour by accident but Marco was quick to get this corrected transporting us to another location where an English tour guide could collect us. So easy and no problems.

Amazing experience. Very helpful guide. We enjoyed our time and highly recommend. It's a beautiful day trip.

We had a wonderful full day private tour. Franco is an excellent guide - extremely knowledgeable, easy going and flexible. Pablo is a terrific driver and the van was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the entire day very much. Highly recommend!

Rafael was such a fun tour guide. He definitely kept everyone energetic and happy with his music and stories about the history of Valparaiso/Viña Del Mar. We got to see so many different things and the restaurant by the beach was great. Definitely a must for anyone visiting Chile!!

Using two languages Flavio showed us all that was promised with information, efficiency and good company. A great day of interest, variety and wonderful sights

Carol, our tour guide, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. She explained clearly and in an interesting manner the history of the areas we visited. There were lots of little details, Carol was quick to point out. When we took breaks, she would explain about traditional and or local foods of the area and of Chile. Adrien, our driver, did his best to communicate with us with his limited english, which was a nice added touch. His driving skills were good. Thanks to both of them, they found our binoculars and returned them to us the next day.

Pleasant day trip to Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar. Great guide and driver who kept everything interesting and on time. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Informative and helpful throughout our trip!
