“Santiago is a beautiful city with a rich history that I enjoyed learning about as I listened on the tour. Jorge was a wonderful host who made sure to communicate prior to each stop which points of interest were on that stop. The only downside for me was that the cable cars were not open on the Monday I visited and the other ride option opened after 1pm which did not work for my schedule. I wish I had known this prior to my booking.”

We booked a private tour and yet there were 6 other people and we were crammed into a mini bus. 1/2 people spoke Spanish and 1/2 English- so tour took forever and was very boring! To top it off I was mugged on the tour!!! Will never use this company again! Waste of money!”
