One of the best tours ever - I took a chance to book a last minute sightseeing tour and it paid off. The company was responsive and polite and immediately found a driver and guide. My guide Pamela was very friendly and gave me an overview of the day. Our driver was friendly and navigated the streets well. He was punctual and I felt safe in his care. Pamela was knowledgeable about her city and gave me great insight on Santiago’s past and present. They showed me the best sights and she went the extra mile to make sure i got the best photos. I would highly recommend the tour and Pamela as your guide

Beautiful day in Santiago - Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and tailored the experience to match our interests. He took the time to understand what we were curious about and provided thoughtful, engaging answers to all our questions throughout the tour. We really appreciated how attentive and flexible he was — especially when my son mentioned he was hungry. Without hesitation, the guide brought us to a charming local restaurant that we never would have found on our own. He recommended some delicious, authentic dishes that gave us a true taste of the local cuisine. It was a thoughtful, personal touch that made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended!

A great experience - I unexpectedly ended up in Chile with a long layover so I decided I’d like to see some of Santiago. I was a little concerned as I was a woman traveling alone but I couldn’t have chosen better than this tour. Alvaro, the owner of Chilean Adventures, went above and beyond to make this work for me including organizing a seamless airport pickup and drop off. The van was modern and comfortable with a careful driver, Carolina. Alvaro, my tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable. He did a great job of personalizing my tour, educating me on the history of Chile, how it is today and showing me. There are some phenomenonly beautiful old buildings. I came away with many new facts, I had no idea the Chileans farm salmon…don’t miss the salmon cerviche!! I highly recommend this tour company.

A Great First Taste of Santiago - Had a great time on my half day private city tour in Santiago. Being my first visit, it was a really nice way to get a feel for the city while also learning about its history and culture. We covered some of the key landmarks and different parts of the city, which gave me a good mix of sights and stories. It was the right amount of time to take everything in without feeling rushed, and a great introduction to Santiago.
