Only 120 km northwest of Santiago, visit Viña del mar considered one of the most important and tourist city. Enjoy of a walk by the shore and its history. Continue to Lunch place where you will apreciate the best view of the pacific coast. After this excelent stop to try local meals specificly seafood. We start by knowing one of the most important cities of Chile Valparaiso. Also considered The Jewel of the Pacific. And finish at Casablanca Valley on our way back to Santiago. This stop will be to cheer for our day with local wine . And enjoy from the vineyard the best sightseing we can offer. Now head back to Santiago after a great day.

To be honest, I do not understand what costs this amount of money. The tour itself is mostly driving through two towns with a guide and stopping multiple times near souvenir shops… We also did not get the wine tasting! Instead, they gave us a bottle of wine and claimed that this is more than tasting (which I doubt). Finally, the tour was not even close to the 10 hours promised. We departed later and were back in Santiago at 16:00.

Valparaíso was the highlight and surpassed our expectations. A very large community with numerous restaurants and street vendors that wind their way through narrow and steep hills. Wonderful and colorful street artwork painted on the walls of homes, businesses etc. add to the uniqueness of this city.

The guide and driver were ok but relatively late pick up at 9am so that meant we wasted first part of the day as it says in advert pick up at 8am.
Although we did visit the places stated it felt we went more to where the guide wanted to go as he was born and raised in the parts of Valparaiso that we visited, didn’t feel we saw the important or historic parts of the place.
A nice restaurant for lunch that guide recommended.
Saw a couple of places in val de mar but to be honest, in my opinion it’s not a place to worry about seeing.
Stopped at a vineyard on way back, tasted some ok fizz and an average Sauvignon blanc and the latter not properly chilled 😬 and at the vineyard it was overpriced at 300% compared to the jumbo supermarket we went to. Basically a tourist trap.
Minibus was a bit old and on basic side and seat belts had no reel inertia system so rather uncomfortable. Some people didn’t use them as simply not long enough to fit. Driver ok but lacking compassion over travelling at speed over the bumps and speed reduction humps in the road!
Overall I have ticked it off my list of things to do but I think there are better trips to do.

Claudio was a fabulous guide. He was born and raised in VALPO and knows all the ins and outs, ups and downs, where to find good food, knows lots of people/vendors and even knows the names of most of the dogs and cats. It's such a colorful place. From Easter island relic to wine tasting, it was great fun.

Gabriel and Dani were wonderful guides. They went out of their way to make sure all of us had an amazing trip. We took two different tours with them and I highly recommend them to anyone short on time in Chile.

This tour was just what the description said. I really liked Valparaiso and wish we had had a little time to shop. The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because the winery stop was disappointing. We only tasted two wines, a red and a white, then were given a little time to buy some wine. It’s hard to know what you might want to buy after trying only two wines.

This was a great trip. Valparaiso and Vina del Mar were amazing places, and very interesting to hear about the history of them and of Chile in general. Francesca the guide was perfect, and her English was perfect as well. We got to see a seafood market and sea lions at Valparaiso, have a nice lunch, and stop by a winery on the way home. One thing to note for travelers, since several people on my trip were not prepared and I was only slightly prepared - beware of the weather. I went in Summer, when it was 90 degrees in Santiago, yet it was cold, foggy, and misty in Valparaiso. Apparently it is like that all the time (probably colder in winter). So check the weather and definitely bring layers, I had pants and a light jacket and I was really cold, some people in shorts and t-shirts were even colder. But on the drive to and from Santiago and at the winery it was hot so it was nice to be able to have a short-sleeve shirt underneath my jacket. I was a single traveler but many others on the bus were couples, so good for either. Otherwise great trip and highly recommend if you are looking to explore some other parts of Chile while you are in Santiago.

Our tour guides were very knowledgeable about the country as a whole, the destination cities, and the best places to visit within the cities we visited. I have never seen so many murals before and the architecture was amazing to see. And the people within our group were very friendly and it was nice to share our travels with eachother throughout the entire trip.
