Beautiful walk in Valparaiso! - In the company of Antü we had an excellent tour of Valparaíso: its port, its hills and picturesque neighborhoods in which we were able to admire magnificent murals.
Antü shared with us his passion for his city and allowed us to better understand Chile, its history, its culture and what's more, with a lot of humor.

An exciting and endearing visit - We made a visit with Jonathan, the manager of the Valpotop agency. We were 6 people for a very well structured 3 hour visit. The visit begins with a historical overview which allows us to establish the dates and important events in the evolution of Valparaiso. The visit continues with the discovery of 2 districts of Valparaiso. Through the murals that characterize the city, Jonathan teaches us a lot about this art and what it expresses, particularly recent history and the political situation in Chile. Jonathan gave us an informative, lively, and never boring visit. The clarity of his words and his generosity are the best introduction to the discovery of this city. Well done and thank you to him!

A must do! - great visit with Maga, a guide from Valpo, who speaks French very well and above all who talks about her city and her country with contagious passion! Full of knowledge about geopolitics, the history of Chile, the world of Street art, "good deals"... she impressed us with her ease and we really appreciated that it was a visit without taboos, with a real idea of "real" life here, in all its aspects. We highly recommend!

Discovery of the city - I had a great time with Antu who explained in French the history of the city, a bit of politics and lots of jokes for 3 hours. All this with a lot of humor. There were 3 of us so we were able to ask all the questions we wanted. A big thank-you!
