“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. Vina del sol was the first stop . Then in the fish market in Valparaiso. Sea lions and gulls galore. The walk about up and down through the colorful streets. A city of street artists. They even decorated the stairs. Edu suggest a spot for lunch. Fresh fish and many other dishes and it was good. This place had the best roof top views. Great fun.

Review of a Santiago day trip to Casablanca Valley, Valparaíso, La Sebastiana, and Viña del Mar, with wine tasting and practical tips.

“Met up with Jorge our guide and Dalton our driver and set off. First stop was Veramonte Vineyard where we did a tour and heard about the making of the wine with some wine tasting. From the vineyard we travelled on to Viña del Mar and visited the famous flower clock and then headed to lunch in a restaurant right on the water. The seafood was amazing. Our next visit was La Sebastania which is, the poet, Pablo Neruda’s house in Valparaíso. The audio tour was interesting and informative … the house quite unusual and quirky with many avant garde rooms and ornaments. This was followed by a walking tour…”

Review of Santiago’s Maipo Valley wine tour, with four vineyard visits, tastings, pisco, lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“This was a truly wonderful experience! We did the tour with Pablo and our driver was Mattias. Communication ahead of the tour was clear and timely. The tour itself was a great variety of small, medium, and large wineries in Maipo Valley. Pablo is an excellent host - funny and friendly! Unexpectedly, the lunch spot was also charming and not a tourist trap. As others have mentioned, your van will be ~10 people, but you will be with a group of 30 or so at each stop. I was not bothered by this as the wineries in the US are far more crowded. It is def not a private tour,…”

“Tour guide George was great. Talked in Spanish and English. Only 40 minutes on the beach, was very little time. Valparaiso is kind a gritty, grimy, slummy and dodgy. Maybe a little artsy. No bathroom on the bus. Even the public buses that go from Santiago to Valparaiso have bathrooms. I would have spent more time in Vini Delmar.”
