Turn your layover into an unforgettable day with our exclusive Santiago city tour. Designed for travelers with a stopover, this private experience lets you discover the highlights of Chile’s capital in just a few hours. You’ll be picked up by private vehicle directly at the airport and welcomed by a friendly, passionate and knowledgeable local guide.
The experience is mostly done on foot, as we believe walking is the best way to truly discover Santiago. You’ll see the colorful streets of Barrio Bellavista, soak up the lively atmosphere at Baquedano Square, visit the civic center, and enjoy the views of the Andes Mountains. Along the way, we’ll stop for a tasty snack to keep you energized while exploring.
The tour duration depends on your stopover time and is fully flexible. If you prefer less walking or a slower pace, we are happy to adapt the itinerary and use the vehicle more. At the end of the tour, we’ll drop you back at the airport for a smooth continuation of your journey :)

5.00I had a long layover in Santiago, so I decided to book a tour to pass the time. I was traveling solo so I needed one that could accommodate one person rather than needing a group. I hit the jackpot when I booked City Trekking Guide. I had a fantastic time. Ignacio was such a great guide and a very lovely person. He was very clear in his communication prior to my arrival and he was so great throughout. Not only was he very knowledgeable about the city and showing me the sights, but I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations about the culture and social aspects. I would book him again in a heartbeat!

5.00We had an 8 hour layover at Santiago de Chile Airport, and we decided to take this opportunity to visit the city and we couldn't be happier. Ignacio was a great tour guide, very engaging and with a lot of knowledge of the city and the country. He adapted the itinerary to our interests and time in the city, ensuring we were able to see all the must sites the city can offer. He was very flexible throughout, and the communication prior, during and after the tour was great. We would completely recommend the tour!
Wonderful layover tour of Santiago

5.00If you have a 5 hour or longer layover at the Santiago airport you should definitely consider taking a tour with Ignacio. He is friendly, passionate about his country and city and communicates flawlessly in English. Ignacio met me in the lobby of the airport Holiday Inn and we enjoyed a full city tour after which he took me back to the hotel. He can accommodate any schedule and will tailor the tour to your preferences. In my case we went inside a lot of historic buildings and enjoyed both old and new buildings. He prefers to see the city by walking which allowed us to take our time. Everyone in the city was friendly and I never felt unsafe. I highly recommend taking this tour with Ignacio

5.00We had a fantastic day with Ignacio on our stopover. We arrived from Buenos Aires at 11 AM and Ignacio met us at the airport and delivered and interesting, fun and informative overview of Santiago. He was was very communicative and included our desires as well as included a surprise stop at what became my son's fave part of the day. Definitely a winner but be prepared to want to stay longer!
A great way to not waste a day at the airport

5.00We had a 12 hour layover in Santiago city on the way to Argentina and decided to book this stopover as a way to spend our day outside of the airport. What a good decision! Our guide, Mauricio, had lots of great suggestions on things to see, neighborhoods to explore, and did a particularly good job of pointing out places of interest for when we would return to Santiago the following weekend. This tour is super convenient for a few reasons: (1) if you have luggage, you can store it in a van with you rather than leaving it at the somewhat-expensive left-luggage place at SCL; (2) you can get out and see the city; and (3) there is itinerary flexibility. I appreciated that we could make the itinerary whatever we wanted it to be. We ultimately ended up seeing both historic Santiago as well as just taking a hike around a particularly scenic hill before we settled in, but you could go hike up the side of a small mountain if you wanted, I bet. Otherwise, there's a van so you could do more sightseeing by vehicle. Bilingual guides make this very approachable for non-Spanish speakers and communication ahead of time via WhatsApp is excellent. We had plenty of time to spare to make our evening flight and had no issues whatsoever during our tour. Highly recommended!
