  This was a great experience. Could not be a better guide than David. He was very knowledgeable about all things related to Chile. Highly recommend this tour and working with David!

  David was a fantastic guide who was very knowledgeable and entertaining. He tailored our tour around our preferences and his selection of food stops included fantastic seafood at the Central Market and a traditional Chilean savoury pie, as well as a pisco sour. The tour also showed us many parts of central Santiago, with opportunities to look inside some of the buildings and shops. Highly recommend his tour.

• More of a city tour, than a food tour

  As the title says, if this had been described as a walking city tour with food stops, this would have been a five star review. However, as described, this is not a food tour in my opinion. We tried 4 things in the 3 hours for which we paid £47 per person (April 2026) - empanada pino, Mote con huesillo (drink), a completo (hotdog) and a terremoto (drink). That said, our tour guide Maria was delightful and she gave us many insights into the city that we otherwise would not have known - she showed us sights and walked us through different areas and parks we would likely have not explored by ourselves. She also explained that the foods listed in the tour description are out of season which is fair but should have been communicated before we booked the tour. So this review is not a reflection on our guide who was great...but more on the description of what we paid for and expected vs. what we got.

  This was a fantastic food tour. We were provided with clear meeting instructions ahead of time and any possible allergies were also discussed. The tour itself was informative about the area and local culture. The food is full portions, not small bites. Be prepared for this as it is all delicious and easy to get full. I would do this tour again!

  Fun food tour and intro to Santiago! Our tour guide was great and answered all of our crazy questions! We learned about coffee with legs and had a Chilean hot dog.

  This Street Food Tour with David Herrerra was an unanticipated highlight of our time in Santiago. On weekdays, David's food tour includes the most accessible markets of the central city like La Vega Central. However, if your trip allows a weekend tour, David will take you to the famous Persa Bio Bio Flea Market located on the outskirts of the city center. David met us at our hotel in Providencia, herded us through the metro subway system to Bio Bio, and then guided us through the bustling maze that has to be one of the most authentic examples of Chilean everyday life. On offer is everything you can imagine from the fine art of Alejandro Gonzales to antiques, old books, clothes, tools, pirated DVDs, and all sorts of odds and ends in an impressive array of blankets and tables. All this punctuated by authentic Chilean street food as we wound our way through colorful warehouses and alleyways. At each stop, we sampled iconic Chilean cuisine - empanadas, mote con huesillo, huge classic sandwiches from El Pobre Guido, and artisan gelato flavored with calafate berries and lucuma. For some reason, we didn't feel the need to eat again that day. Flea markets can be notoriously dicey tourist traps, but David made this experience safe and non-threatening. At the end of the tour, he even delivered us to our next activity back across town, again through the subway and across the river to Bellavista. Above and beyond. And he didn't lose one of us. Fun, entertaining, unique, delicious, superlative, unforgettable.

  Decent food tour! There were a total of 4 people on the tour and the guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We stopped a total of 4 places, trying 4 items. We appreciated that the guide pivoted our tour when it began to rain quite heavily. This food tour however, was a bit different than other tours we have done in the past since we got a small number of rather large food items. On our tour we tried: - a beverage from a street vendor of sweet tea with cooked wheat and dried peaches (very tasty!) - a hot dog (massive!) - an empanada (quite large!) - a piscola (it had begun raining so many of the food shops had closed and everybody was quite full from the large food items) I would have preferred to have smaller portions of the items (other tours I have been on a single item might be purchased and cut into smaller pieces for trying) and tried more items, but it was still an enjoyable tour.

  The guide didn't teach us much about the history of Chilean food. We spent about a third of the time touring churches and landmarks.

  Really enjoyed this experience! David was a great and funny guide and we learned a lot about Chilean food and Santiago. Plenty of food included, we couldn't even finish it all! All food was very tasty and the tour was customised to our likes. Perfect Monday activity when a lot of the tourist atttactions are closed!
