“This was a mini group tour which pick you up and dropped you off at your hotel. Awesome Nico, our driver and Edu, our guide was interesting and made the whole experience fun for our group of 14.

Right after we left the Empanadas Restaurant named Emporio Zunino. Two guys attacked us trying to steel our belongings. Be aware if you choose to take this tour and DO NOT CARRY ANY VALUABLES. This didn’t end well for us and there was no warning from the tour guide as to the conditions in the area we were taken to.”

Review of Santiago’s Inca Lagoon and vineyard tour, with Andes views, Caracoles Highway, empanada brunch, wine tasting, and practical tips.

“Great trip taking in views of the Andes with a stop for some very nice wine tasting. Comfort stops were made. The drive up the 29 switch back road to get to Portino was fascinating. Unfortunately we had low grey cloud for the first day i can remember in Chile so we could still see the mountains but the Inca lake was beautiful with the mountains in full view but under a low grey cloudy sky. Had a lovely lunch there and plenty of time to walk to the shoreline. Once we returned down the switch back road we made a comfort stop where llamas were munching away. Alvaro our…”

“This tour is a great way to learn a little about Viña Del Mar and Valparaiso, as well as the Casa Blanca Valley. Our guide, Sebastian, was extremely knowledgeable, articulate and funny. (Juan was a great driver!) We learned so much from him! Be prepared for some standing around (to see a couple of sites) , punctuated by a good workout going up and down stairs and hills. The street art in Valparaiso is very cool! The fish market visit gives you some great insights into the daily lives of people in the fishing industry. The winery stop at the end of the tour is great! Try the Sauvignon Blanc!!…”

12.Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with wine tasting in Casablanca

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 81 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $79

Explore Viña del Mar, Valparaíso, and Casablanca Valley on a guided Santiago day trip with coastal views, street art, and wine tasting.

“To be honest, I do not understand what costs this amount of money. The tour itself is mostly driving through two towns with a guide and stopping multiple times near souvenir shops… We also did not get the wine tasting! Instead, they gave us a bottle of wine and claimed that this is more than tasting (which I doubt). Finally, the tour was not even close to the 10 hours promised. We departed later and were back in Santiago at 16:00.”
