A Wonderful Day of Outing with Nacha - We spent over three hours walking through several different neighborhoods with very distinct characteristics. We then rode funicular up to San Cristobal Hill and walked around the Hill. It was foggy and we could not see much of the city but we still enjoyed it. Nacha was our guide. She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and super kind. We learned so much from her. Nacha also spoke excellent English, and connoisseur of completo (hotdog). We had an amazing day with her. I highly recommend this tour company and especially Nacha.

Great walking tour - This trip is perfect for someone who wants to learn more about some highlights of Santiago in a short period of time (~3 hours). The tour guide Benjamin was super knowledgeable and passionate about the city. We started the tour from Providencia area, then we walked to the bottom of San Cristobal. We took the funicular up, saw the Virgin, and we rode the cable car down. Along the trip, Benjamin was introducing the history of various items, while at the same time pointing out things that only a true local would knew. Highly recommended.

Great guide! - Great guide - knowledgeable, interesting, friendly, personable, enthusiastic. He obviously loved doing this and telling people about his city. We had already taken a similar tour and were afraid that we would be bored. That was definitely not the case!

Amazing scenery - I don’t like heights but am so glad that I faced my fears and took the cable car. The panoramic and diverse views of Santiago are amazing. It was one of the highlights of my trip to South America.
