Sean was awesomely the best of the bestest - very highly recommended!!! We toured Valparaiso and Vina del Mar with him, and he dropped us off at Santiago for our cruise embarkation the following day. That was our first trip to South America - our pre-cruise tour, as we cruised Chile, Antarctica, Falkland Islands, Argentina, Uruguay - still so many places to explore in this area. We will definitely come back, and use Sean's company again...

In our City tour of Santiago de Chile you will understand how history and time speak through the city and the ways it receives. Therefore, we will start by Cerro Santa Lucía and the Plaza de Armas, so that the childhood of colonial Chilean Santiago can say its first words. These, in turn, will later become a Republican corner in the monumental Palacio de la Moneda. You will continue to follow the steps of history when you discover how Santiago de Chile becomes its inhabitants in the traditional Paris-London neighborhood and the delightful architecture of the Museo de Bellas Artes, ending in iconic places of progress and cultural mix of the capital: El Barrio Sanhattan and the Bicentennial Park. You will be visiting Santiago de Chile for four hours and in this period you will be able to see, feel and breathe the whole history of the city, from its infancy to modern times, and how life in this city changes over time and space.

The Rapa Nui National Park is not cheap as we pay 54,000 Chilean Peso (80US $) per person. You have no choice, because you come to Easter Island to admire the impressive Moai statues. Easter Island is special and I am glad I saw it

If you only have a day, this is the way to see Torres del Paine. We probably got 5-6 hours in the park, and were driven around to all of the key sites. No, this won't be a hiker's dream, but we only had a day. We got there and back safely, the car was very comfortable, we brought a sandwich as instructed, and enjoyed our guides. This tour is best for someone who speaks a little Spanish, and we enjoyed learning some new Spanish words and vice versa. Guides were very friendly.

Cajon de Maipo is a beautiful region 70 kms away from Santiago where you will enjoy nature in its pure sense. Enjoy not only the views of the Andes Mountains, the Yeso and Maipo River, but also the majestuosity of Santiago´s main clean water source: el Yeso Waterfull (el Yeso Dam visit is limited to being open by the government, is an additional stop in the tour if it isn't closed by the government) Its beauty trascends the seasons; from its beautiful snow peaks in winter to its sunny and windy landscape in summer. At 2500 meters above sea level, enjoy this trip with us where at the end of the tour we will delight you with a picnic with cheeses, salame, wine and other delicious options.

Inclusions: Snacks (Picnic done at the end of the tour), Wine tasting, Beverages

My aunt and I went on a tour to Viña Del Mar & Valparaíso with Daniel and the driver Alejandro. They are friendly, funny and extremely patient. Not only do they do their jobs well done, but they are always giving pertinent tips on the cheapest market, where to eat and the better deals. Daniel not only takes us roaming through the two cities but also makes remarks about the smallest details, as well as historic and geographical context. He’s the full package, he even takes great pictures of all the tourists in group (in our case nicknamed the “mafia simpática” ????????????)! Congratulations on a job done with excellence, we can tell how much you do it with passion. I recommend the tour with these guys, it’s a great time guaranteed and p.s. they make extra stops to take advantage of the great landscape so we can take great pictures). I was simply enchanted!
