Wonderful full day tour from the port to the airport with beautiful photos. - Wonderful tour! I had asked for the best photo opportunities after my pick up at San Antonio port. So we focused on Valparaiso and it did not disappoint. We started at the fish market which I didn't expect much........I had been to Seattle and other fish markets but this was different. Lots of local flavor, both fish which were huge and locals shopping. It was totally entertaining from the fish hawkers to the ladies who cleaned the fish. There was a family just returning with nets full of fish and we watched them pluck the fish from the nets. Lots of sea lions swimming at the beach as well. Then we walked the "hills". I'm not much for climbing stairs and walking up hills but Julio had a driver who took care of that. The murals everywhere and colorful houses were great photo stops. We stopped at a candy shop, a gallery with a balcony view and lunch was at a lovely restaurant with an amazing view. The views just went on and on! We finished at a winery which was nice but not as scenic as I had expected. I might skip that since I've been to many wineries. I had a late flight so it was nice to be dropped at the airport on time after a full day and many photos. Being private was also nice to have Julio all to myself. He is quite charming and pleasant. He didn't bombard me with information but enough to keep me informed. I rate this a 10+.

Best Tour Guides for Tours of Valparaiso and Santiago - A group of 8 of us were ending a Panama Canal cruise in San Antonio (the port for Santiago and Valparaiso. We connected up with 2 other people from our area on Cruise Critic. We hired Julio and his son Matias to pick up the 10 of us at the San Antonio port (with all of our luggage) and take us on a tour of Valparaiso and Vina del Mar, then a tour of the Casa del Bosque winery, and finally the people flying out that night were dropped at the airport, while the rest of us were taken to our hotel in Santiago. The next day, the six of us staying in Santiago were picked up by Julio and Matias for a full day Santiago tour. The six of us did our own things the following day, but Julio and Matias took us all to the airport the following night. We could not have picked a better pair of tour guides to show us around the area. They put together excellent tours for both days, they customized them to our tastes, they adjusted the itinerary with us as the days went on, and they were extremely solicitous at all times for our safety. We were really delighted with the whole experience, and we recommend them highly.

Best father son team for tour to Valparaiso - We had a group of 10 that were disembarking from our cruise in San Antonio. The communications between Julio and my group were very timely and professional. Julio provided us with a very detailed itinerary that covered all the highlights that we were interested in seeing. After asking a few questions to ensure our groups slight injuries were not going to be prohibitive, and receiving immediate responses that would serve our group, we booked this tour. The pricing for the tour was very fair, and beating most others researched. Julio and Matías and their driver Helmut were at our pickup place on time and ready to roll. The tour was managed to the T as described. Any requests for deviations was provided with no hesitation. The city of Valparaiso and Viña Del Mar were beautiful providing us with a wide range of viewing and walking opportunities. Julio provided just the right amount of historical and cultural knowledge. If more was desired we just had to ask, his knowledge was deep. Lunch options were provided to ensure our whole group could be accommodated for specific dietary needs and reservations were made to ensure we ate when we wanted and where we wanted. After completing the tour we were able to drop 2 couples off at the airport then continue to the hotel where the remainder of the group was staying. While at the airport Julio and Matías were extra vigilant ensuring that those being dropped off were safely escorted inside the terminal. Julio and Matías were a great Father/son team going out of their way to keep our safety/security at the forefront at all times. I Highly recommend Julio and Matías and would book them again should we be in Santiago.

The absolute best guide in Valparaiso - This is simple - if you want to see Valparaiso, there are lots of guides, BUT if you want to experience Valparaiso, Julio is the best! We had a delightful time with Julio (and his son Mattias, who did the driving and kept constant watch over our belongings). Julio picked us up at the cruise port and took us to Valparaiso. He knows so much and so many people, we felt like royalty getting an escort. At the fish market he introduced us to the superintendent, and took us to fisherman/women who explained to us the history and status of what they do. Thru town we saw the various neighborhoods and met with shopowners, artists, and residents of the area. He was able to explain the art, buildings, history, monuments, and underlying stories of Valparaiso. Anyone can show you something, but the connections he made turned this into an experience. It seems everyone knows Julio too. He made a reservation at one of the best restaurants and got us the best table with a view. Others that got to the restaurant before us were asking why they couldn’t get our table and asking ‘how did you do that’ We also went to a very nice winery for a tour and tasting - no tourist trap here, one of the best in the world! And when Julio heard the day was sold out, he called the owner to get us included. At every turn, Julio knew the history, insight, and background. We came away very much enjoying the experience - one we will never forget!
