Great overview tour of Santiago - Our guide from HecTours was great. He drove very safely and was very flexible as to what we did and where we went. he was very knowledgeable about the history of Santiago and all of the major sights. We had a great day seeing Santa Lucia Hill and Lastarria, downtown, San Cristobal and many more places. La Chascona was one of our favorites.

HecTourService Has the Best Santiago, Chile Experiences! - When I arrive in a new city I always begin with a city tour so I can get an overview before diving deeper into the neighborhoods that interest me. For my two-week stay in Santiago, I found HecTourService run by Hector Medina while browsing online. His outstanding reviews convinced me to book right away. Hector provided excellent communication from the start. He confirmed every detail with me via WhatsApp and then adjusted our tour schedule when my fiancée arrived a day later and needed extra rest. He rescheduled our tour without hesitation and tailored the itinerary to our interests, which we truly appreciated. On the day of the tour Hector arrived on time in a comfortable Mercedes Benz van. His English is excellent. He also speaks Spanish natively, along with Portuguese and even some Japanese. We experienced this firsthand on the cable car descending San Cristóbal Hill, when he conversed with a Brazilian family sharing our car, in fluent Portuguese. Throughout the day Hector guided us to the best photo spots, suggested a charming café for a coffee break and pointed out where to find an ATM so I could get local currency. At the end of the tour, we tipped him generously because he lived up to every bit of his stellar reputation. A day or so later, Hector emailed us a list of his other tours and prices. Since my fiancée had never experienced snow before, we decided to book the Andes excursion to the Farellones Mountain Centre. It is about a two-hour drive east of Santiago through steep and foggy mountain roads. Thanks to Hector’s commercial driver’s license and expert skills, our trip was smooth and safe despite the dozens of sharp hairpin turns. Once we arrived at the resort Hector took care of our entry fees which were included in the tour price. I hadn’t dressed appropriately for the elements and spent most of my time trying to stay warm. My fiancée layered up and had a blast around the park. The resort offers skiing, snowboarding, tubing and zip-lining. Hector captured so many great photos of my fiancée at the resort that she declared him a better photographer than me! On the drive back to the city, Hector kindly offered to stop at a local restaurant or wine bar, but we were too tired and asked to return to the hotel instead. The entire mountain excursion lasted about seven hours, which was perfect for our pace but could easily be extended for the die-hard snow enthusiasts. By the end of our time with Hector we felt like friends. After our final tour with him, he dropped us off and took a photo with us so we could always remember his great service. We saved Hector’s contact information for our next trip to Santiago, where we plan to hire him to visit Vino del Mar and Valparaiso. Hector also has real estate expertise, so other future travelers can consult with him about properties for sale or long-term stays in Santiago. Thanks again to Hector and HecTourService for making our vacation truly unforgettable. I highly recommend his tours to anyone visiting Santiago. You will not be disappointed!
