Great walking tour - Daniel was a great tour guide! I would highly recommend him. My one suggestion for him would be to clean the inside of his car before picking people up. I had white pants on and inside was very dusty/dirt and could barely see out of windshield. Minus that the actual tour & Daniel were great.

Very well and pleasant - Erick showed up earlier at the pickup place and notified us.
He was knowledgeable and also noticeably prepared for guiding us through the trip. His English was fluent and easily understood.
Unless other guides who would wait at the bottom, He went up the steps with us personally pointed the spots to us, which feels very nice and helpful. We learned a lot during the tour.
The whole tour was a pleasant journey thanks to Erick.

Basic, good price friendly guide - Variety of stops and historic district but driver didn’t seem too happy to put AC on when it was 94 degrees

Too short - The cathedral in Santiago is wonderful. Our guide took us to several other areas in town and then left us to walk back to our hotel. Unfortunately the tour only lasted 1 1/2 hours - nowhere close to a half day.

Driver Christian was very... - Driver Christian was very nice and friendly. However, nothing is worth mentioning about the tour, and the tour is not worth the money charged. Metropolitan Cathedral was the only thing on the tour for viewing and it was closed. There was an impressive and long list of "what to expect," in the tour description, but hardly anything of substance. Moreover, in the description at the time f booking, Cerro San Cristobal and Cerro Santa Lucia admission fees were included. However, we had to pay the entrance fees, and we saw only one place out of two.

Didn’t go on this tour - I didn’t go on the tour. A private car came to pick me up. I was the only one to sign up for this tour. I was not comfortable getting into a private car with a strange man in a foreign country.
