Top 10 Bus Tours in Valle Central, Valle Central

April 2, 2022 Milan Banda

Chile's Valle Central, a verdant valley tucked between the Andes and the coastal mountain ranges, has a mild climate and moist soil perfect for grape growing. Made up of four distinct wine regions, Maipo, Rapel, Curico and Maule, the area is criss-crossed by well-traveled wine roads. At the northern end of the valley is Maipo, the oldest of Chile's wine regions, famous for its Cabernet Sauvignon. At the opposite end is Maule, which still grows Pais, the first grape brought to South America.

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...

Recently my wife, my daughter and I took a trip to Chile. We were going to be in Santiago for a day in between traveling from Patagonia to San Pedro de Atacama. We were referred to FoodTrip to provide tour guide services as we wanted to spend some time in the wine region and visit Valparaiso. Our day was very full. Keryma was our guide and we could not have been happier. Our day started first visiting a local restaurant for a bite of breakfast. Truly authentic. Then off to a local winery. I have been to many wineries but never had such a wonderful time. This was a very small winery where we were met by the owner. We spent a couple of hours enjoying the day, the wine and the company. How fortunate we were to have had that experience. From the winery we drove to Valparaiso where we had a late lunch at one of the most unique and interesting restaurants in Valparaiso. It is not often one has the experience to have the chef/owner greet you and then prepare super good food to order. Following our lunch was tour of Valparaiso. I wished we would have had more time there. So to sum it up, if you are looking for the local experience with excellent guide services I highly recommend FoodTrip. A special thank you to Keryma. My wife, my daughter and I feel we made a very good friend.

A country with a very special geography invites us to visit Valparaiso and viña del mar which will bring us closer to history 120 kilometers from the capital, passing through valleys which give us a vision of central Chile so your guide stop for your wine tasting , when we reach the coast we can see the real meaning of the port city of Valparaiso, the first foot of the history of Chile a whole landscape like a rainbow is a perception of something that calls the popular and traditional inmercion and then viña del mar that is a very different and very beautiful city, which reminds us of its first social group aristocracy that I inhabit the garden city as they call it now a great contrast between both cities exploring history and the miscelanio of the city  of viña del mar as a citizen. we back to the city and we can drop off to you at the airport or to the hotel. REMEMBER THE GUIDE WILL BE WAITING AT THE PIER FOR YOU AND READY TO START THE ACTIVITY.

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

Carla and Brian were amazing guides and provided informed and entertaining commentary for our trip out to Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar. Communication prior to hotel pick up was great and we had a relaxing time walking the cobble-stoned streets of Valparaiso learning the history and taking in the street art. We had lunch at Vina Del Mar with local beers and Pisco sour cocktails!! Highly recommend this tour or any other tour with Discover Santiago- we would have like to have ventured into the mountains, however, COVID-19 had other plans for us and we had to return to Australia following the cancellation of our holiday.

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!

Chile is well-known for its outstanding wines. Some of them can even compete with French wines. But Chilean Signature Wines are still unknown by many. Author wines don’t follow protocols. They look for different methods, aromas, and flavors. This exclusive tour around Colchagua Valley will allow you to see wine with new eyes and taste it with a new palate. We’ll visit 3 vineyards: Fundador, Don Clemente, and RC Viñedos. 1.- The tour will take an exclusive group of 2 to 8 people. 2.- It will last around 11 hours. 3.- Tour available Saturdays and Sundays. 4.- To schedule tours on Mon-Fri please ask in advance.
