Bohemian Valpo & Glamorous Viña: Chile Coastal Escape

Tour guide Maria Jose was fab! She was able to move seamlessly between Spanish, English and a sprinkle of Portuguese to keep all 15 guests interested and occupied during the trip. It’s a long day. Our pick up was at 6:20 and we didn’t get breakfast until about 9 so bring a snack. The walking tour around Valparaiso was the highlight. So much to see and do. Lunch was at 1pm which was very welcome as we were all very hungry by then! Overall a great day. Thank you.

This tour is an excellent way to explore Valparaiso area, especially since the main attractions are far from one another and the hills would force to extend the time to dedicate, if moving on foot. The guide was perfect, she told us stories about the city, from historical events to fun facts during the van trip as well as during the walking tour. She managed to kept us interested switching between three languages! The timeline was clear and reasonable. Personally, I would have chosen a less touristic place as a stop among the vineyards and I would have had more time to wander through Valparaiso streets. In conclusion I would recommend this tour to whoever wants to have a glimpse of the area but doesn’t have so much time in their travel schedule to stay one night.

Overall a very enjoyable excursion. The walking tour of Valparaiso was very interesting. Our guide. Rocio, was very engaging and informative.

It was a very nice day, the guide Sergio was very friendly and knowledgeable. They were very punctual with time pick-up and very responsive.

We went with Felipe and the driver Víctor. It was a wonderful day trip, english and Spanish, tour interesting and funny in Santiago, Viña del Mar and Playa Regnata, where we stop for Lunch and a walk along the beach

Wow! What a full day! We only had one day in Santiago and this was a great way to spend it! We got to see a lot of everything for a really great price. The guide was well organized and experienced and we learned a lot. The day is filled with jumping off and on the bus at a lot of different sites. The only thing is if you're looking for wine tasting this isn't it, but it's not advertised to be, so it was fine for us. They do do a stop at Casa blanca and you get a tiny taste of 3 or 4 different wines-none of which were very good in my opinon, but you can say you did it I guess. Overall great tour!

We stayed a few days in Santiago after our cruise. We truely enjoyed this full day guided tour. Our guide Catalina is an excellent English speaking guide. She guided us through the super confusing streets of Vina del Mar, will definetly got lost without a guide. The "Street arts" are amazingly beautiful. Catalina took us to the best photo spots and she is an excellent photographer. The rest of the tour are beautiful too. We enjoyed the whole tour very much. If you are lucky, you may have Catalina. Last but not least, the price is so affortable!

Pablo was a great tour guide. Very informative and was great at speaking both Spanish and English so everyone on the trip could understand him. Gave a good taste of all the areas we visited, a fully packed day but a good trip to do.

All the stars are only for our guide Sergio that was really good, anyway we was disappointed because it was impossible for us to visit the house of Pablo Neruda "LA SEBASTIANA". In the tour was planned the visit for about 20 minutes of stop, but we arrived too early and the house was closed ... I asked if it was possible to go back but I was told no. If you want to see that house is better if you choose another tour.

Pick up at 8:00 instead of 6:30. We waited an hour and half. This was advertised as English and Spanish. There are 17 of us and only 2 that needed English, one was bilingual He started out talking 20 minutes in Spanish and about 4 minutes English. He starts in English after talking in Spanish but falls back to Spainish. . He did try but when 14 people speak Spanish and you have to wait 10 minutes then he turns to you two and says 2 sentences in English and goes on to the next thing it is frustrating. He lost 2 people for awhile and got upset and never really cared afterwards. He never talked again and actually fell asleep on the hour and half back. The traffic was bad coming in so he dropped us off about a mile from our hotel even though we said we did not know where we were and asked him to take us to the hotel. He was very dismissive. This is the first time I have been disappointed in Viator.
