Experience a 9-hour tour, starting at your hotel doorstep. You will visit Viña del Mar first, known as the Garden City, where you can see an original sculpture from Easter Island, a Moai. Then the vehicle will take you along Avda. Peru to capture the Pacific coast and some of its castles and stunning buildings.
You will proceed with a visit to the seafood and fish market, Caleta Portales, where the sea lions are a sight to behold, as well as witnessing the lively activity of the fishermen.
You will continue the tour towards the Alegre and Concepción hills, to stroll for more than an hour through the colorful streets, marvel at the mural art, the stairs everywhere, the amazing views and descend using the old local transport, the funicular.
Then you will be driven in the Van to the Casablanca Valley to celebrate with a Chilean wine and from there return to your hotel concluding the tour.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Santiago
In a modern, air-conditioned vehicle, accompanied by a bilingual local guide and a professional driver, your tour starts from 8 am. (the pick-up time will be informed the day before the service, before 9:00 p.m.). Once all the participants have gathered, we will go to Valparaíso and Viña del Mar along Route 69 for around 1 hour and 30 minutes.
2. Corporacion Museo de Arqueologia e Historia Francisco Fonck
You will stop in front of the Fonk Museum, in the heart of the city of Viña del Mar, together with the guide, to observe closely one of the few Moai that remain outside of Easter Island. It has already been confirmed that this solitary Moai will soon be returned to the island of Rapa Nui... you can't miss it.
3. Flower Clock (Reloj de Flores)
You will be able to photograph yourself in the famous Flower Clock of Viña del Mar. This is a gardened clock, symbol of the city, which is located at the foot of the Castillo hill, in front of the Caleta Abarca spa.
4. Avenida Peru
You will stop for a moment on this beautiful avenue that runs along the Viña del Mar waterfront, where you can appreciate the Pacific Ocean in all its splendor, as well as the buildings that surround the boardwalk, such as the Presidential Summer Palace and the castle Wulff.
5. Caleta Portales
Caleta Portales is a typical place in Valparaiso. Along with the guide, you will tour this fishing terminal and you will be able to observe in situ the bustling activity of the artisanal fishermen and the stalls selling fish and shellfish. You will also be able to see and photograph birds such as pelicans and seagulls and meet the sea lions that abound in this place.
6. Plaza Sotomayor
Declared a typical zone of the country, the Plaza Sotomayor will concentrate your attention since the Armada de Chile building (declared a historical monument) and a statue to the greatest Chilean naval hero (Arturo Prat) are located there.
7. Cerro Alegre
With a striking architecture that represents German and English settlers who once inhabited this neighborhood (from the beginning of the 19th century), Cerro Alegre is a heritage neighborhood of the city that you can explore on a walk of about 1 hour. The guide will be in charge of showing you the most incredible trails, full of mural art and curiosities, as well as beautiful viewpoints towards the Pacific Ocean
8. Cerro Concepcion
Another of the most visited places in Valparaiso is Cerro Concepcion (previously called Cerro de Nuestra Señora de la Concepción). Inside the hill, the viewpoints with spectacular views of the bay stand out, such as those of the Pierre Loty, Atkinson and Gervasoni promenades.
9. Paseo Yugoeslavo Ex Paseo Americano
Viewpoint walk nestled in the Alegre hill, from which you can see all of Valparaiso
10.
Located in the heart of Cerro Alegre, the Pasaje Bavestrello is one of the most interesting buildings in the port of Valparaíso. This is a small part that passes through a singular construction. It was built in 1926 and is accessed through Urriola Leighton Street, located a few steps from the Baburizza Palace on Cerro Concepción.
11.
Building built in 1916 and home to the municipal museum of Valparaiso, it is an unmissable place that you can meet with the guide on our tour of the city.
12. Ascensor Reina Victoria
Located on Cerro Concepcion, it was built in 1902 and is part of the old town of Valparaiso (UNESCO heritage). It is currently still in operation and you can climb on it to descend to the city map.
13. Casablanca Valley Wine Route
You will arrive in this beautiful valley, internationally recognized for its excellent wine production, to experience an exquisite wine tasting (included in the price of the tour) in a beautiful local vineyard. You can also learn about Chilean wine with the expert guide.

Julio was an extraordinary guide. He was filled with interesting information, and very amenable to adapting the tour to our particular interests (specifically, our desire to tour the Neruda house, La Sebastiana).

We loved our tour with Julio. We booked a private tour as there were quite a few of us, and were picked up promptly in a very comfortable and clean van. Julio was very knowledgeable and funny and managed to beat the traffic in a local's way! The restaurants that he suggested were also quite good.

The booking process was great as Claudia responded to all questions very quickly and thoroughly. She also was proactive about reaching out to confirm as we got closer to the date. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed the walk thru Valparaiso with all the street art. The views were incredible. Enjoyed the lunch at the beach. The lengthy pick up and drop off of other people put us way behind and took long. Some stops should have been quicker or eliminated to try and keep us on time. Ended up being a very long day. We usually like Viator tours, but sadly this one was not great.

What a great tour! Valeska as a guide and Israel as driver made for a good team.
First, communication was excellent with confirmation of hotel pickup time. Valeska and Israel arrived on time. We had description of what we were seeing and background information as we traveled to each of the stops. Valeska had a wealth of knowledge that made the entire day one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. We had a picture perfect day with the perfect guide.
