5.00Servitour was beyond helpful in preparation of our arrival. We provided our group size and concerns traveling with little kids and a baby. Servitour took great care of our group of 15-people. I requested a photographer to accompany us on the tour and Servitour fulfilled the request. Esteban was a great guide and continued to send recommendations after our tour since he recently returned from Rapa Nui. Daniel has great communication and I was more than impressed with his level of assistance prior, during and even after our tour was over. Highly recommend this company and their offering.
Beautiful trip , drinking good wines and watching the Andes mountain range from close

5.00We really enjoyed our tour with Estaban as our guide and Boris handling the driving duties. The communication with Jonathon prior to the tour was appreciated. Estaban took us to several of the key areas within Santiago. Note that this tour does involve a bit of walking on uneven surfaces. Loved getting to sample the completos (it's the Chilean version of a hot dog). I would definitely recommend this tour - especially if you are short on time. We did it as a quick half day before our cruise - and it was perfect! Thank you Estaban, Boris, and Jonathon!
Great introduction to Santiago

5.00Tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He showed us everything that we needed to see. He gave us all the time we needed. He also paid for a gondola ride which was not included in our trip out of his own pocket. I feel that the company should reimburse him for that.
Great city tour.
