Giovanni Gives Great Tours of Santiago

5.00Giovanni was a great guide. We had already seen most of the sites on the standard itinerary, but Giovanni improvised and took us to some places we never would have thought of . The rose gardens and St Lucia Hill were excellent choices, and we had a terrific time with him. Would highly recommend Giovanni to anyone looking to take this tour
Event with Disappointing Experience!

1.00My wife and I cancelled this event at the meeting place. Our tour guide arrived "thirty minutes" late and identified himself, but we had not been informed. We cancelled due to lateness and the loss of our original confidence in the prospective tour guide.

5.00Important historical points. From the founding of the city to the Cathedral and the centuries-old buildings. It is worth taking the cable car to the highest point and watching the city.
Good visit to major sites...

3.00While we did pass by most of the places listed in the tour description, we did not drive to Cerro Santa Lucia though we chose both hills to visit in our booking. The description is pass by in a private car which was great because we didn’t want to walk too far. Our driver/guide Christian was friendly and knowledgeable however he admitted this was only his 2nd tour in English and needs to work on his vocabulary. To be honest I don’t think what I saw was worth the cost of the tour. The buildings were not impressive and the traffic and road conditions was disappointing.
Bad experience

1.00Our driver arrived 25 months late in a beat up dirt old little personal vehicle with a very very very broken windshield and did not pull up to front of our hotel where we had been waiting even though there was plenty of room to do so. His vehicle had no identification as to being a tourism car. We were concerned about it being a scam, and was at least very inappropriate. We denied the trip out of concern. We informed Viator, who told us that the driver claimed us to be a no show. We were given a 25% refund. We missed the day of sightseeing. We would NOt recommend booking a private tour by car!!!
I personally don't like...

4.00I personally don't like it and the description is not complete. I wanted to go to the Central Market in the evening, but the driver didn't have any company and it was closed there.
This comprehensive tour...

5.00This comprehensive tour introduced us to significant locations in Santiago while our guides gave us background to the history and culture behind them. It was very clear that they were proud of their city
