  • Amazing tour!

    Truly a most wonderful tour that gives you so much knowledge about the city, its history, its secrets, and its fantastic vibe. Christian was the best guide, super friendly and took the time to explain and introduce me to his culture, his friends and the lace he loves and grew up in. This is such a special tour I really really recommend. I also recommend visiting for 2 days, doing the tour on day 1 as an introduction and spend day 2 going back to the places you liked and do some shopping. There are great affordable boutique hotels.

  • Fun day in a Beautiful City

    LOTS of walking up and down steps and hills - but the only way to experience the scenic views and artistic treats across a beautiful city. A great opportunity to see the everyday lives and activities that occur in a busy port city. Catalena was a knowledgeable, entertaining guide who willingly shared her love of Valparaiso.

  • Excellent tour guide giving you a great view of Valpo life

    Cata was superb! We were “puerteros” or locals, in the first half of the day and tourist the second. A highlight was exploring the fish market which was fascinating! Going to local squares and neighborhoods gives a view of the life of Valpo. We used all different kinds of transportation. Later seeing the murals, artists and seeing Cata’s friends were all very interesting. Lunch at a little empanada place and our rollercoaster ride were highlights. The pace was very good for young and older people. Of note, if you come in via cruise ship, you must go all the way around to get to the meeting place bc of the immigration building is in the opposite direction.

    Valpo in 1 day: Authentic + Famous! Semi-private walking tour & public transport - I was fortunate to be the only "passenger" with Catalina who was very friendly and informative, taking me via tram to the fish Wharf and market and then journey across town via microbus, funicular, taxi and foot exploring the heart of Valpariso. It was great to meet the people of Valpariso and learn about the history of the city. Catalina was engaging and able to answer all my questions, on all topics from history to politics!! Catalina suggested a good place for lunch and I was able to sample a freshly caught fish dinner. Catalina knew many of the people across Valpariso having lived there many years and I was introduced to many workers and craftsmen. I would certainly recommend this tour and I thought it was very good value.

  • Great way to see and experience Valparaiso

    This is an opportunity to see and experience Valparaiso in a way that would be impossible without the services of a guide. You see every part of this great city and are chaperones on to all forms of public transportation in the process. Our guide Cata was charming and genuinely enthusiastic to share the city. She didn’t cut any corners and was very knowledgeable about the various stops. One of the best city tours I have ever been on having used aviator many times. If you read this review and don’t book you will have missed a great experience.
