Chile · VALPARAíSO TOURS
These start in Valparaíso rather than travelling to it — the walking tours of Cerro Alegre and Concepción, the ascensores, the street art, the port. If you are coming out of Santiago for the day instead, the coast day trips are the list you want.

“Alex is a wonderful tour guide and we loved getting to know Valparaiso. At first glance this city feels a little grungy, but it really grows on you the more you explore and the higher up you get on the hillsides. The whole city is bursting with color and beautiful street art. Alex really shows you the highlights of what makes this such a special city, and you even get to go down a slide and ride a funicular up the hillside. 100% recommend this tour.”

“Cristian was a fabulous guide. We went to places only locals go and travelled on funiculars, micro buses, and taxis. A great experience! The meeting point at muele prat was good, but perhaps wifi could be made available there so foreign tourists can access WhatsApp which is how guides communicate with clients.”

We had a fun funicular ride, got to taste a pisco sour (great!!) and checked out some cool shops along the way. Highly recommend this tour!! Loved John’s humor!!”
Sandboard dunes, open-boat Humboldt penguins and sea lions, optional paragliding, and a Chilean picnic lunch along Valparaíso coast.
“We had an amazing day with Go Penguins! We started in the fish market and saw sea lions. Then we drove along the coast and learned about Chilean culture and had macha on the beach. After - we went for a hike and learned about the nature in the area. We saw the penguins after the hike. We weren't able to get on the boat because of how rough the water was - but seeing them from the rock was even better because we could take more time. After penguins, we had an amazing lunch if empanadas, pisco, wine and fruit while watching paragliding from the cliff. We finished the…”
