“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.”

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.”
