Delightful tour taking us from Santiago to our cruise ship - Our guide (nicknamed Nacho) did an outstanding job. He was a fount of knowledge, and made a point of sharing special views (such as the Rodin sculpture standing in the center of an informal marketplace around the corner from the Fonck Museum). He and the driver re-arranged the itinerary in real time to minimize the time spent in traffic. The balance of time driving and walking was excellent. He was very sensitive to your participants’ needs, and looked after us very well. He was a very stimulating and amusing guide.

Great way to see the highlights between Santiago and Valparaiso. - Had a wonderful day between Santiago and Valparaiso with many stops in between. We were visiting during the holidays so some things were closed but the tour guides did not miss a beat. Natalia, our guide and Carlos, our driver were on time, super friendly and ensured our safety the entire time. Working with Claudia before the trip to ensure an easy booking with all their recommendations was super helpful. We definitely would recommend working with Chile Vive Tours for future trips.

Wonderful experience. An A plus!!! - We did City Tour with Jaime one day and Valparaiso and wineries with Maria the next. This company also picked us up at the airport and is taking us to San Antonio for a cruise. Excellent!!! Both Jaime and Maria are wonderful guides, knowledgeable, interesting, engaging, caring and fun. I would definitely highly recommend you use this company in Chile and ask for Jaime or Maria as your guide. Also Claudia at the agency was so, so helpful while booking and terrific advance communication and follow up. I found this company through Trip Advisor and so glad I did.
