We enjoyed the trip end to end. Rafael is a great guide, you are never bored. Valparaiso is amazing. Most of he locals advised us not to visit Valparaiso due to safety conditions, however you can take this tour and you will be safe all the time, and what's more you'll have a lot of fun!!!!

Great trip! It was really useful that we had chance to buy some warmer clothes in the morning because weather was a bit cold.

Full description

Starting from your hotel in Santiago, meet your guide and travel 120 km to the Pacific Ocean through the Curacavi Valley where you will have the chance to see diverse scenery. On the road, stop in the typical hostelry Millahue for the chance to taste the typical Chilean drink, the "chicha".

Arrive in Valparaiso and admire the amazing houses on the hills. Take a sightseeing tour of Victoria Square, Sotomayor Square, the naval heroes monument, and the May 21st Lookout. Take a walk into the hills, using 1 or 2 elevators or explore the bay area.

Next stop in Viña del Mar, the city known as the Garden City. Explore some remarkable locations in the resort town including the floral clock, the Casino, and Reñaca beach where you'll have time to stop for lunch at your own expense. After lunch, spend a bit more free time to enjoy relaxing on the beach. Finally, before taking the coast road back to Santiago, stop at the Quinta Vergara, a place known for the international song festival. At the end of the tour, you will be dropped back at your hotel in Santiago.

The guided walk through the colourful streets, the funicular, Neruda's corner and the magnificent hillside and harbour views.

Thank you. Julie, Australia.
