Highly recommend! - Leo was fantastic! He is so passionate about his city and country! He is full of knowledge and enthusiasm. He also customized the tour for us since we were the only ones to sign up for that time . We had a noon reservation and he kindly offered to start early so we could make it on time. This turned out to be better to avoid the heat too. Not only did he show us several extra sites than listed on the itinerary, we also got to try some food along the way. He dropped us right off at our lunch reservation, which happened to be close to the tour end point. Love his energy, passion, and super interesting pieces of history!! Highly recommend!

Fantastic must do! - Leo was so passionate and knowledgeable about his city!!! With over 500 years of “modern” history to know he was very well versed. We actually booked a separate tour months ahead and they cancelled on us two days before the tour date! So we scrambled and found this tour, which was so much better! The tour started at 9:30 but we had a 12:00 reservation so Leo offered to start earlier. Turns out we were the only couple on tour so it became an amazing private tour starting at 8:30! He has so much energy! We hit all the spots on the itinerary and so many more. We even stopped for food twice and had the option for more. He gave great recommendations and was available via WhatsApp for further questions. He toured us around right up to our reservation and dropped us off at the restaurant, which happened to be near the end point in Lastarria. Had a GREAT time and really appreciated Leo’s enthusiasm, knowledge and customization! 100% highly recommend!!

It is the best Guide and the best experience - It was the best Tour experience I've ever had. Ivan is very knowledgeable about various perspectives of the country, the city from the most formal to the most colloquial. Tailor the tour to the needs of the participants always looking to connect and have a comprehensive experience. I particularly feel that I also made a lifelong friendship and contact. Thank you Ivan for showing me all the faces of Santiago de Chile 🇨🇱

Fab walking tour - Ivan is a highly knowledgable guide who shares his love of Santiago in a professional and entertaining manner. His explanations of artistic installations is good and he led us through the political history associated with the buildings of the tour, in a balanced and insightful manner. We liked the integration of the refreshment stops as part of an introduction to the food culture here and his insights on the fusion of Peruvian/ Japanese cuisine in Chile were very impressive!!

Amazing amazing experience! - I really enjoyed my tour with Ivan. It felt like I was walking a new country with a lifelong friend. Laughters and drinks were shared and knowledge was impacted. If I come back to Chile, I definitely would seek him out again just to be buy him a big bottle of beer for his hard work during our tour.
