6 Hour Tour of Culture, History and Flavors from Santiago
Overview
Available languages
6 hours
Mobile ticket
Following progressive tours philosophy we decided to extend from 4 to 6 hours the Santiago city tour.
With an unrushed execution we're able to enjoy the spots properly (example: tasting the flavors on the markets INSTEAD OF JUST PASSING THROUGH the "mercado central")
In that way we'll cover more essential places that are important places to be able to understand, enjoy and get a little more lf the vibe of our city.

5.00This is a full day in depth tour if Santiago City, giving an insight into Chilean history, art, and architecture. We were kept well informed throughout the day by Daniel, who provided a deep explanation of Chilean development over time. He kept the day well paced and allowed just enough time to ourselves. We saw some lovely areas of Santiago, the main historical buildings, including time to visit the cathedral. We also spent some time going up the cable car and down the funicular. We ended the day with a pleasant stroll through BellaVista and had chance to sample a Chilean empanada! We were so happy we chose this tour, as it delivered on all points.

5.00Amazing tour of Santiago! Would highly recommend to anyone interested in learning more about the culture of Santiago. The tour was adjusted to accommodate our interests. Food experiences were available throughout the tour and provided the opportunity to eat and learn about local cuisine in non touristy places if desired. Also saw amazing views and visited many different areas in Santiago. Our guide Felipe was so friendly and helpful!

5.00Felipe was an outstanding guide and made my Santiago city tour truly memorable. He did a fantastic job showing us the most interesting and beautiful spots around the city, and he explained everything in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. I learned a lot about the history, culture, and daily life in Santiago while exploring. Daniel drove us around Santiago and he was equally impressive. He was extremely knowledgeable about the city’s history and shared fascinating insights throughout the tour. It was clear that both Felipe and Daniel have a genuine passion for what they do. Their love for their work and for their city really came through in every interaction. They were both incredibly kind, professional, and attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the experience the entire time. The tour felt exciting, relaxed, and very well organized. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Santiago. Felipe and Daniel made the experience special, and I’m very grateful for such a wonderful introduction to the city.
Great orientation to Santiago.

5.00Although other people who had booked our tour cancelled, Pancho (Francisco) was so wonderful about giving just the two of us a wonderful tour! He was so thoughtful and energetic in spite of the hot weather; he never rushed us. Our driver, Rodrigo, was an excellent driver and he always appeared out of nowhere to pick us up to take us to our next destination! The pre-trip communication was also very good. We were very fortunate to have you as our guides for the day!
This Tour is Excellent!

5.00There is quite a bit of walking involved therefore would not advise anyone with walking difficulties to go
No Mondays tour

1.00When I reached out to our guide upon arrival at the hotel on Sunday for some specifics on our Monday morning tour, I was advised that the tour should not have been available on Mondays because many activities were closed on Mondays. He recommended a wine tour in Valparaiso instead which wasn't something we were interested in. Since it was late Sunday before we received this information we had few options for our only full day in Santiago. We should have been notified as soon as he received the reservation which was booked more than 1 month prior.
Super guide and driver who gave us a memorable experience.

5.00Our guide Alvaro couldn't have been more friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The itinerary covered some interesting sites and for us was a perfect introduction to Santiago. The driver who was called Rodrigo, I think-apologies- was also excellent. We also had a group of 3 which always helps integrate everyone.
