    My favorite part was the funicular up and the cable car down. What a view! This was a great way to see the city and they had plenty of stops of Santiago’s best.

    I booked this specifically to ride the cable car and funicular, the cable car was not working and I get the distinct feeling it hadn't been working for a while, nor was it going to be working. It was not a windy day, no reason given

    We booked and paid for this tour prior to leaving Australia. On arrival in Santiago the cable car was not running on our booked day and there were only 5 Hop on Hop Off buses running for the whole day. Not a good start. I would like to think that a proportional refund or a credit could be applied. I will wait to see if anyone contacts me.

  • First time on the hop on...

    Very informative tour of Santiago with great facts and stories of the history of the city. What we really enjoyed was the relaxed pace. Did the 2 hour tour around the entire loop and then got off at the stops we wanted to further explore. The buses were right on time at every stop!
