Great experience in Lastarria, Santiago - Lastarria is a very nice town Santiago. I recommend Lastarria Hotel and Aparts. Central location to restaurants, boutiques, murals, local attractions. Friendly and helpful staff. Good transportation to/from the airport. We had some travel complications and they helped to make our stay totally enjoyable. I will be lucky if I can get back there soon!

Highly Recommend - The views on this tour were stunning and I would do it again! Sebastián is a great guide! He is very attentive to group needs and works to ensure everyone is taken care of. He is super knowledgeable about Chile and its history and he engages the group in his teaching so it is more enjoyable.

Learn while you catch great views - A good way to see the big hills and vistas while getting educated about the city, its culture, food, and some history. We only had a little time in Santiago and this was a good way to see the city. It is huge! Nacha was terrific.

Great intro tour to Santiago - We toured with Estevan and were really impressed. His overview of the history of Santiago and Chile in general really made us interested in learning more about the area. It felt very authentic, not glossed over or idealized. He was able to answer our follow-up questions, making it obvious he'd really mastered his material. We were only in Santiago for 3 days, but his guidance helped us use our time efficiently, seeing the must-sees with him and getting ideas for how to continue on our own.

Views, tastes, and information! - The tour was as described and very informative. Nacha was a terrific guide. We loved the views and tastes of food. The Blue Stone at the end of the tour was interesting for seeing Lapis Azul (sp?)

Great views, tour - Excellent tour! Nacia and Beatriz were friendly and informative and were good about walking at our pace. A nice stroll to the base of the funicular, lots of steps(!) to get up to the Virgin Mary statue on San Cristobal Hill, and then a relaxing cable car trip over the park.

Interesting, fun and informative tour - Our guide Esteban was very good. He was lively and engaging telling us about Santiago history and life as well as the social context of the country. He gave us tips for what to do the following day and was a thoroughly nice guy. His English was very good. I would 100% recommend this tour with Esteban to anyone who is interested in Chile and its culture.
