Very pleasant day - Vincent was a very nice and professional guide.
He was punctual, picked us up at our hotel in Santiago and showed us the highlights of Vina del Mar region and Valparaiso.
He explained the main sites and answered to all our questions.
We left the hotel in Santiago around 9:30 AM and returned to the hotel around 6:00 PM — so, although it took most of the day, it wasn’t exhausting at all.
And Valparaiso is a very impressive city. It definitely worth a visit or even a stay for a longer time.
And Vina Del Mar, Renaca and Concon are beautiful places.

Viña Del Mar and Valparaiso tour - This was a great tour! Having a driver and tour guide allowed us to get out and enjoy both Viña Del Mar and Valparaiso! Vincent was an awesome guide! We learned so much about each area all while enjoying the beauty of both! Valparaiso has so many hidden gems and it was so fun to experience the UNESCO area! The shops, restaurants, funiculars, street art…all so vibrant! Make sure you ask Vincent to show you the slides and enjoy sliding down right in the city areas!! Definitely a must see and do tour!

We went to Viña Del Mar and Varpariso - Vincent was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable, fun and accomodating. We had a 10 yo and 12yo with us and they loved it as much as us! We saw the recommend sites but Vincent also went off script (ie the fish market!) when we weren’t that keen on some of the other landmarks (ie flower clock!). Would definitely recommend Vincent’s tours to anyone travelling in Santiago.

Look no further! - We had a lovely day with Vincent. He customized the tour for us so that we could maximize our day without being exhausted. Communication from booking to completion was excellent. He is knowledgeable and engaging- he has a true passion for the history of the area and it shows. He recommended nice restaurants that were accommodating do some of my family’s dietary restrictions. He ensured that everyone had a great time. If you’re trying to decide on a tour to take from Santiago for the day look no further! Just book this tour with Vincent you’ll have a wonderful time!
