AMAZING Tour of Valparaiso - We did the day long Valparaiso tour and it was really great! Teddy was our tour guide and he took us to many historical sites along with a walk through the small streets lined with art work and murals. The art scene is incredible in this city and Teddy knew all the best places to check out. We also had a delicious lunch in town. I would definitely recommend this tour with Pride Tours.

One of the Best Things I Did in Chile! - This tour is an absolute GEM! It was truly incredible and one of the most meaningful highlights of my trip. Freddy's knowledge of the city’s history, street art, and LGBTQ+ culture was impressive, but what really set the tour apart were the personal touches he added throughout. Freddy shared stories, context, and local insight in a way that made everything feel alive and deeply connected to the community. We also met with locals. It never felt like a "scripted" tour, and we explored Valapriaso with a passionate, thoughtful local who genuinely cares. I can’t recommend this tour with Freddy highly enough.

Fantastic Experience - I did the Valparaiso tour w Freddy and Ivan. These guys are the best I had such a wonderful time with them. Friendly and welcoming right from the start. Loved getting to know them both throughout the day. They were v flexible and accommodating with what I was interested in seeing and doing. I had limited time in Santiago but if I was there longer I would have done more tours with them. Can’t say enough good things, highly recommended. Hope to see you guys again take care!

A thoroughly enjoyable day - One of several Santiago tours expertly conducted by Freddie. He is knowledgeable, fun to be with, and always in tune with his clients. He makes excellent choices for places to see and for the establishments offering food and drinks. I highly recommend his tours.

Best tour - Freddie is an amazing tour guide. He was very accommodating and went out of his way to show us the best spots in Valparaiso. His schedule is extremely flexible and is a perfect choice if you prefer a more customized and intimate tour experience.

A true find of a guide - I had the pleasure of meeting Freddy from Pride Tours. We spent two days together while I was in Santiago, Chile: We took an excursion to Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar. It was the perfect exposure to those cities - at the right pace, with a knowledgeable and friendly guide. He then suggested I join a group that were going to the hot springs in the Andes. Wow! What an experience: beautiful sites, a dip in some natural hot springs and lunch in a local rustic restaurant. Truly a highlight of my trip.

Highly recommended tours - Freddy was out guide for two tours , the first to Valparaiso and the second a tour of Santiago. In both cases his service was outstanding from booking through to the tours themselves. He enquired about us and tailored the tours to our needs. He is very personable and knowledgeable about the area. I'd highly recommend Pride tours to anyone visiting the area , whether LGBT or not.

Beautiful City and Great Tour - I had a great day out in Valparaiso with Freddy, the guide and owner from Pride Tours, with just the two of us. I was picked up at my lodging in Santiago on time and we stopped for a coffee on the way to Valpa - about a one hour drive. It's a great, colourful city with amazing street art, murals, and graffiti, with hills and winding streets. We stopped in at a gallery where the owner was happy to speak about the art and artists, and showed me around, and then had an excellent lunch (catch of the day) at a local restaurant. Really knowledgable about the history and architecture of the city.

Engaging Tour Guide - We were looking for a comprehensive, concise tour of colorful Valparaiso and found a great tour through Pride Tours. Our tour guide, Francisco, being from Valparaiso, was very knowledgeable and very charismatic. He was very inquisitive of our interests and catered our tour to get the most out of it. Because of Pride Tours and Francisco, we booked more tours with them during our trip.

Pride Tours is AWESOME ! - I rarely take time to write reviews. However, these guys are SO nice and SO organized that I couldn’t help but sing their praises. We booked our tour for the wrong day, by accident. Ivan immediately helped correct our mistake and we had an amazingly fun day. We are returning to Santiago at the end of our trip and already reserved another tour with Pride Tours (wine tasting). Seriously guys (or gals)... if you’re looking for a great way to meet others and let someone else take care of all the details for a fun, stress-free day, contact Pride Tours and sit back and relax, laugh, and enjoy!
