Claudio has an excellent knowledge of Santiago and took us to off-the-beaten path places in addition to the usual stops. He also has an excellent knowledge of Chilean history which helped put many places and events in context for us. He even introduced us to some of the local foods and traditions of the area.
One of the best tour guides ever

This tour couldn't have been better. We were picked up at our hotel by Maurico a couple minutes early. Since this was a private tour Maurico took us to sights we wanted to see. First took us to an upscale residential area with a number of upscale boutique shops selling original crafts. Not the typical tourist junk. Wonderful sweaters and shawls of alpaca. Also unique handmade jewelry of local semiprecious stones. Then he took us to the down town area of Santiago, visited the cathedral also saw many public buildings and a ride through a beautiful park with great views of the city. Showed us a unique new building complex with stores on the lower level then a park around the 9th floor set up between 4 buildings. Had gardens and green space. Finally we went back to the hotel to collect our baggage and he drove us to the airport of our evening flight to Miami. His vehicle was immaculate and very comfortable. Would probably hold 5 people if needed comfortably. Maurico spoke excellent English, was very knowledgeable and made the trip most enjoyable. If back in Santiago in the future would ask for him to show us other sights.
Wonderful Santiago

Cristian was excellent. He took great care to make sure we were comfortable. We were whisked from one amazing site to another and captured many memories on our camera in which he happily assisted. His level of knowledge and passion for storytelling kept us enthralled throughout the tour. We would strongly recommend this tour for anyone interested in touring Santiago and learning about its amazing history.
