What To Expect

The most reliable information on the port history of Valparaíso dates from 1810, years in which the city was made up of two villages (Almendral and El Puerto) separated by the Cape. In the vicinity of the Cape, a wealthy merchant had built a dock called "Villaurrutia", in front of the Cueva del Chivato where today the building of the newspaper "El Mercurio de Valparaíso" is located.

We very much enjoyed our tour and would HIGHLY recommend the best way to see this area safely is to have a local guide. Our guide, Luis, took great care of us. We learned so much about the city, saw great art and even had a few nice treats here and there. He even helped us get some groceries.
Great Private Tour!

Luis was a fantastic guide. To start off with, he was super flexible on timing as we had some unexpected delays, he was very communicative via WhatsApp in advance, he is extremely knowledgeable about the city and happy to just have real conversation about real things. Not to mention he knows the best places to go to see all the amazing murals. He also voluntarily gave more of his time beyond the scheduled amount of time.
An interesting and engaging tour of Valparaiso!
