Gluttony at its best!

5.00One of my favorite things to do on the first day visiting a new city is to do a walking food tour. This one did not disappoint, from empenadas to ceviche to king crab pie (more like a very thick chowder) to this very Chilean drink of peach syrup with barley. I also got 9K steps in so a little less guilt for how much I ate! Cristobal was a great guide!

5.00We had such a fantastic time on our food tour through downtown Santiago! It was the perfect way to experience the city’s culture through its incredible food. We sampled so many delicious and authentic Chilean dishes — from fresh empanadas and completos to traditional sweets and local drinks. Everything felt thoughtfully chosen and truly representative of Chilean cuisine. What really made the experience special was our guide, Christobal. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Santiago and the origins of each dish we tried. We learned so much about Chilean traditions, local markets, and the stories behind the food. On top of that, he was warm, friendly, and made everyone feel comfortable right away. It felt like exploring the city with a local friend. If you’re visiting Santiago and want a fun, flavorful, and informative experience, I highly recommend this tour. It was definitely a highlight of our trip!
Don’t think twice. Book this!

5.00Cristobal is a great guide who gives you a flavor for Chile - both food wise and history wise! We learned alot about Santiago- beautiful city by the way. This tour is downtown, the old authentic parts. We had a great seafood dish- ceviche with a local white fish- yum!, a peach drink, pisco sour, and a local Chilean dish and a Complenten a something like a hot dog- street food lots of food for sure! He has a nice easy way about him and explains everything well. His English is very good and he is easy to understand.
The Best Foodie Tour We Have Ever Done.

5.00My wife and I have completed many foodie walking tours all around the world. I can say unequivocally, our tour with Cristobal was the best we have ever experienced. The food tastings were authentic, non ‘touristy’, varied and delicious. We felt completely safe at all times walking with Cristobal, who is an absolute wealth of local knowledge; this kindly extended to many eating recommendations near our hotel. We did not feel like we were just walking with a tour guide, it is more like a genuine conversational walk/experience with an old friend showing you their city. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! (P.S. eat a small breakfast beforehand!)
Great start to a Santiago trip

5.00Excellent tour with Cristobal. A good way to begin our tour and refresh our knowledge of the city. Great to sample a few pisco sours on the way and enjoy some Chilean specialities at Mercado central and Bella Vista. Would definitely recommend and 5* experience with Cristobal. Very knowledgeable about both food and the city. ¡Gracias, jefe!
