It is an amazing way to explore city nightlife when you are a solo traveler. If you are a couple you can explore the city by your self. But overall very good experience. Sebastian was a very attentive host. I was the only English speaker in the group and he made sure i was not left out.

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...

We will leave early in the morning from Santiago to Cajon del Maipo. After an hour of travel we will begin our route in a beautiful path where we can observe native flora and fauna and meet mysterious pre-Hispanic petroglyphs. Halfway we will arrive at an esplanade from where we will have privileged views of the Andes, leaving behind the part with greater unevenness and difficulty. Now the route becomes easier until reaching an imposing viewpoint on a cliff where we will have the possibility to see magnificent condors, one of the largest birds on earth, in addition to beautiful views of the imposing Andes Mountains that will leave us without words before the immense beauty of nature at 2031 meters high.

Alupran provided a wonderful experience for my wife and me. They took us in their well-equipped SUV to Baños Morales,a picturesque village deep in the Maipo Valley. From there, we initiated our trek to Laguna Morales. Marvellous views awaited us from start to finish. We seemingly paused every few steps to take pictures of the imposing Andes Mountains. The trek was long enough to be tiring but totally worth the views and the sense of accomplishment after completion. Alupran's guides were wonderful and felt like family friends. We got a great introduction into Chilean culture and natural history. Highly recommended for outdoor enthusiasts looking for a beautiful trek near Santiago!

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.
