Review of MTO Tour Chile’s San Antonio to Santiago day trip, with city sights, Undurraga wine tasting, cruise pickup, and airport drop-off.
“Excellent. Civil unrest in the city did not deter from our driver’s positive views of his country and the area. He was a great representative of Chile and its people. Went out of his way to accommodate one couple on the trip that wanted to eat at a different restaurant than he planned and the rest of us enjoyed. Highly recommend if you have about 6 hours between cruise ship and airport.”

“We traveled from Santiago to Valparaiso for our tour. If you're not familiar, it's about a 2 hour drive. We toured by foot and van in Valparaiso and Vina del Mar. We had a nice lunch by Happy Hill and walked back down after. We had plenty of time to walk, look and do some shopping. We had a little side stop on the way back for a quick wine tasting at Bodega RE which was very nice. Catalina, our guide was quite pleasant and knowledgeable and very good to talk to. Our driver, Carolina did a great job as well.”

Review of Santiago’s cruise transfer and city tour, with historic sights, optional viewpoints, parks, and a four-wine tasting.
“This tour was the worst tour I have ever been on and I have done many Viator tours. The tour guide (Matt) was 2 1/2 hours late picking everyone up. He came with a van not big enough, so he had 2 vans, one for our luggage and one for us. This tour started with a stop in the town square, then a drive of the city streets of Valparasio. After that he took us to see the clock made of flowers and to a restaurant. The restaurant they take you to is not very good and very very expensive. The tour guide (his name was Matt) said if you…”

Review of a private Viña del Mar or Valparaíso to Santiago transfer, with air-conditioned vans, hotel pickup, pricing, timing, and tips.
“by diane_b -"We were supposed to be picked up at the Valparaiso port at 0730hrs. We received a text from the driver at 0730hrs informing us that he would be late by 20 minutes because of traffic. He arrived at 0755hrs- He accompanied us to his car which was a bit of a stretch, passing all the waiting buses going to the airport. Others who had pre-arranged transfers (obviously not with this company) had their drivers waiting in an area where they go at the port, and all had names on a cardboard.”
