What To Expect
Plaza Sotomayor
This is one of the most interesting places in the city center, where you will see a variety of architectural styles, the most important monument of the Chilean Navy and a local craft market.
Paseo 21 de Mayo
To close with a flourish, we finish our tour with the best panoramic view of the city, from a traditional promenade, where so many sailors made promises they never kept. Here you will find a craft fair and the National Maritime Museum. At the end of the tour, you can decide if you prefer to stay to enjoy the place for longer or return to the Sotomayor Square with your guide. We can also help you get an Uber or a taxi to go where you need it, be it your hotel, the bus terminal or a good restaurant for dinner.

5.00Local guide with rich knowledge and experiences. Really enjoyed the tour. His recommendation of a restaurant right in front of our hotel was excellent as well. Highly recommended.
Fantastic tour and great value

5.00Our 3 plus hour tour of Valparaiso Famous sites with Felipe was fabulous. He is a life long resident of the area. He added history and personal experience to the prescribed tour path. He spent more than an additional hour with us while we stopped together for some snacks and drinks. The unexpected bonus was that in late April my wife and I were the only guests so it turned out to be a private tour. We tipped him generously for his knowledge and extra time. The sites and sights and sounds of the route were wonderful. It would have been a great value even if there were the maximum 10 participants.
Thank you again—it was unforgettable.

5.00We had the absolute privilege of exploring Valparaíso with a true local—and it made all the difference. From the moment we started, it was clear we weren’t just on a tour, but experiencing the city through the eyes of someone who genuinely lives and breathes its history, culture, and people. His depth of knowledge was exceptional—not just the well-known stories, but the hidden layers, personal insights, and local perspectives that you simply wouldn’t get otherwise. What stood out most was his passion. Every street, every building, every story was brought to life in a way that felt authentic and meaningful. On top of that, his understanding of the real estate landscape added a completely unique dimension that we truly appreciated. We feel incredibly lucky to have found him. Choosing a local guide was the best decision we made, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly to anyone wanting a deeper, more genuine experience of Valparaíso. Thank you again—it was unforgettable.

5.00Catalina was a bright ray of sunshine and was part of what made me fall in love with Valpariso. She truly has a love for this place and you can see it in everything she does. We got to see places we never would’ve found without her. Highly recommended you book this!
