5.00Alessandro is very knowledgeable about the history y la ciudad de Santiago. We walked the streets like a Chilean and visited many special historic venues in the city. He is very kind, humorous and a complete gentleman. I would recommend this tour with Alessandro.

4.00Our tour was very comprehensive on the history of Santiago and portions of Chile. We got to see some of the key elements of Santiago. We would have liked to learn more about the culture of Santiago as we walked through the neighborhoods and not just the history. Our guide was very attentive but consistently asked if he was meeting our expectations.

4.00Alessandro was very knowledgeable, especially related to Santiago history. He fell short in providing an understanding of the neighborhoods we were walking through and the culture of Santiago and Chile. He worked hard and was very attentive to our needs.

5.00We had a brilliant day with Valentina. She was very knowledgeable and very kind. Our tour was extremely varied and I feel like we really got to know the city. She even went out of her way to help me find the church bells that had been returned to Santiago from my home town in Wales. We found good coffee and tasty snacks. Would highly recommend this tour and Valentina in particular.
Mid-afternoon visit to Santiago fantastic

A 5+ hour walking tour with Alessandro

5.00Alessandro met me promptly at my hotel and took a very nice tour through Santiago. I was the only one on the tour. He was not rushed and even extended our tour to the funicular ( not included in my tour originally). His explanations were clear, although I had minor difficulty parsing through his accent, but he was willing to repeat without any impatience. He also frequently asked if I needed clarification. Overall a good tour. Important point is this is a walking tour, and you will be walking for most of 5+ hours and climb a lot of steps. This is the sort of thing I really enjoy, but not for everyone. I personally didn’t require any breaks other than for hydration.
Very good guide -...
