  This is a full day trip that I recommend is taken on a Saturday or Sunday. Depending on how many people are on the tour there can be a lot of pick-up points as was the case with our tour. There were about 10 people already on the bus when we boarded and were informed that there were a further 7 pick up points which ended up being a to and fro across Santiago, to complete all the pick-ups which took until 8.00am, before heading to Valparaiso. This will not be possible on a week day, as the traffic is so busy during the day. Once on our way rapid progress was made, with the first stop at the Rio Tinto Winery close by Casablanca. Javier, our tour guide who was great, said there is free admission and gave instructions that there is restaurant inside; so we could have coffee, breakfast as some of the Group had left early and had not eaten. There was snacks and fruit for sale if desired. Much of the ‘sights’ to see in Valparaiso were drive-bys, with the occasional point of interest where the bus stopped and everyone exited to view the attraction. We went to Cerro Bellavista which offers a vantage point to look out over the city. We rode one of the Furniculars to the street level to be met by the bus. We went to Vina del Mar which is a great coastal town, where you walk on the beach. The way back to Santiago was more direct and very quick. The return drop-off merry-go-round did not happen, so that was much better. Again returning to Santiago on a weekday would have been a nightmare. You must do this tour on a weekend day or you will be stuck in traffic for most of the day.

• Good tour to checkout the city and the beach

  Good tour around the city and the beach. The tour guide is fun and explained some stories about different drawings on the wall. The lunch restaurant along the beach was a bit pricy, but we were all led to it with no more choice.

• Very disappointed

  1 hour 45 minutes to pick up other passengers, a guide who was not well informed, made terrible jokes and repeated everything he said at least 3 times. We did not eat lunch as the restaurant he had booked, and no doubt received a commission, as it looked awful. A very poor experience.

• Take the tour but walk away from restaurant stop!

  Tour was great. Good amount of time spent at each stop with a great tour guide Jhoded. I do have to criticize that the place they drove us to for lunch was not fancy or even adequate & the food was less than fair & very overpriced in comparison with all the restaurants we visited on our vacation. The tour company is definitely getting a kickback from this restaurant.

• Great day

  I had a great day in Valparaiso and Viña del mar, loved seeing all the street art. I wasn't really prepared how cold it would be when we stopped for the wine tasting, bring a jacket and pants! 😆 Our guide/driver had a lot of knowledge. It was a long day, around 11-12 hours from pick up to drop off, but we got to see many places on the tour
