Our tour of Santiago with our tour guide, Alejandro along with our driver Carlos, was fantastic. We have taken many tours and this was among the best. We appreciated his knowledge, humor, professionalism and patience. Thank you.

Four of us spent a lovely day with HecTours. We were picked up at our hotel and visited several places outdoors before it became too warm. The thoughtfully curated tour provided a rich introduction to Santiago’s history, culture, and contemporary life. Each stop felt purposeful and well-paced, from the historical grounding at Cerro Santa Lucía and Plaza de Armas to the vibrant energy of La Vega Central and the panoramic views from Cerro San Cristóbal. The contrast between historic neighborhoods and modern areas like Sanhattan and Vitacura offered a clear and engaging sense of how the city has evolved. A particular highlight was the lunch stop Galeón, which exceeded expectations. The food was outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared—and the service was warm, attentive, and efficient without ever feeling rushed. It was the perfect setting to relax and recharge while enjoying a high-quality meal, and it added a memorable culinary dimension to the day. Overall, this tour struck an ideal balance between history, local life, scenery, and comfort. It was informative without being overwhelming and personal without feeling scripted. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santiago who wants a comprehensive, enjoyable, and well-organized experience.

Our guide from HecTours was great. He drove very safely and was very flexible as to what we did and where we went. he was very knowledgeable about the history of Santiago and all of the major sights. We had a great day seeing Santa Lucia Hill and Lastarria, downtown, San Cristobal and many more places. La Chascona was one of our favorites.
