Review Santiago’s five-hour city tour, with hotel pickup, central sights, an empanada snack, small groups, and practical safety advice.

“We were part of a robbery attempt while taking the tour. It involved violence an and a horrific attack just steps away from Central Market. 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.”

“This experience is nothing less than amazing. We had our tour with Jimmy and Simona and it felt if we were on a trip with long term friends who know everything about Chile's culture and where to find the most amazing spots. They prepared everything in so much loving detail and my girlfriend and I really had an unforgettable time.
