Additional Information

We are set to explore the major attractions of the UNESCO World Heritage. Initially, we will indulge in the exploration of the city’s flat regions, including Muelle Prat (the port), Plaza Sotomayor (Sotomayor Square), and the commercial area.

Following that, we’ll proceed to Valparaíso’s hills such as Concepción and Alegre via traditional ascensores, (19th-century funiculars).

In the course of our tour, we’ll experience the Victorian architecture, specialty shops, stunning views to the bay, vibrantly painted hillside houses, and varied street art.

When it’s time for lunch, we’ll find our way to a neighborhood restaurant to savor appetizing Chilean food (at your own expense).

Post-lunch, our direction is towards Viña del Mar and depending on your preference, we can either spend the afternoon at the beach or continue our journey to Santiago.

Relaxing tour of Valparaiso - Joaquin is friendly, professional and flexible. We had a great tour of Valparaiso and the surrounding areas. Good driving and picked the best rest stops. Managed to see Valparaiso without dealing with climbing the slopes or stairs by foot which was important for my elderly parents.

A Must-Do Tour for Architecture Lovers - Our original plans of doing the horseback riding tour in the Andes was cancelled due to muddy conditions that would be too dangerous. Joaquin was very accommodating and offered to either give us our money back or take us on an alternate tour. We decided to go to Valparaiso, and it was fantastic. Joaquin was very patient with us and told us about the history of the city and answered all of our questions. He is very knowledgeable and kind. The architecture is beautiful in Valparaiso. I recommend this tour.

Wonderful visit in Valparaiso and Santiago! - Joaquin delivered an amazing experience on our 3-day customized tour of Valparaiso, Santiago, and its beautiful mountainous and coastal areas. From the moment Joaquin met us at our cruise ship until he dropped as at the Santago airport, our small group was treated to a wonderful introduction to Chile's charm and beauty. We walked the historical cities, four-wheeled the mountains, visited wonderful wineries, and dined on excellent local cuisine. Joaquin enlisted Carlos to drive us in his comfortable and cool van.

Great service! - Joaquin was a fantastic guide and Carlos a great driver. We had a flight back home at night, so wanted the security of knowing we had a guaranteed ride back to Santiago. Joaquin picked us up at our hotel, provided water in reusable cups (loved that!) and then took us through Valparaíso. We definitely saw more than had we tried to go alone- it’s a big city! We rode the funiculars, wandered the streets and then had a great lunch. We made an unplanned stop at a winery on the way back which I highly recommend and then got dropped off at the airport. Thank you so much Joaquin; it was a great day!
