Best day ever! - Best day ever! Jimmy is amazing! Such a well planned trip. He is patient and funny and fun to spend the day with. We saw penguins and they were so cute! I can’t say what the highlight was because every part of the day was incredible! The sandboarding was fun and the paragliding was incredible! Jimmy even made some homemade salsa and pisco sour for our lunch. I would recommend this trip to everyone!

THE BEST Tour from the Santiago/Valparaíso/Viña del Mar - One of my favorite tours ever! So many fun activities packed into one day, but structured in a way that did not feel exhausting or overwhelming.
Jimmy was the best tour guide - super accommodating, making sure everyone was having a great time and improvising as needed due to weather. He also made sure to get me back to Santiago with plenty of time to catch my flight. I only had time for this one tour but I’m certain all of Jimmy’s other tours are just as amazing.
Highly recommend this for anyone looking for an adventurous day trip in the area.

Do this tour! - Excellent full day tour! Simons and Lily picked me up in Valparaiso around 9:00AM. A couple other travelers had been picked up in Santiago earlier. We were whisked off to see sea lions, several gorgeous beach towns north of Vina Del Mar and penguins via a small private boat. It was quite rocky in the open ocean so bring sea sick medicine if you need that. I was fine but others might not be. After the penguins we traveled to the paragliding where we were served delicious empanadas of our own selection. I had the crab which was tasty. Lily brought homemade salsa which she had created herself. Delicious. Simons and Lily set the entire lunch up for us and cleared it when we were done. I also tried the paragliding and highly recommend it. My instructor Danny was the best! So much fun! On the way home we saw a gorgeous sunset. Excellent guides who really took care of us. Try to book this with Simons and Lily if you go. Worth the price. Village we took our boat out of to see the penguins was like the East Hamptons.

Best day excursion I have ever taken - Everything ran just as expected. We were picked up at our home, driven very comfortably in a taxi to our destination drop off. We enjoyed seeing the sea lions and the fish market headed through town with a guided tour to a charming boat that took us to see the penguins, followed by the most delicious empanada lunch and paragliding adventure with the most beautiful views. Everyone was so welcoming and kind. We then drove to the sand dunes, and Jimmy gave us a personal sand boarding lesson, which was not difficult at all. Our taxi driver had waited for us the whole time and drove us back to our home. What a wonderful day. I highly highly recommend this trip Jimmie and Larissa made us feel like friends. I look forward to another one of their tours soon definitely five star day. GO PENGUINS.

Great experience!!! - wonderful experience! all the way you pass through extremely beautiful seaside towns and there are some spectacular views of the ocean. We had the opportunity to try paragliding, sand dune boarding and to eat the most delicious empanadas. All of this accompanied with the wonderful company of Jimmy.

Jimmy's tours are a MUST-DO! - ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!!!
I don't even know where to start! The tour was absolutely fantastic!!! In the course of one day, I saw a lot of central Chile (eg from Santiago to Valparaiso to viña to zapallar and everything in between). We saw the local fish market and sea lions then headed north to see sea otters, a dolphin and a handful of penguins. Lunch was delicious and I even went paragliding before heading out to go sand boarding. What an action packed day!!!
Maybe even more importantly, Jimmy is simply AMAZING!!! The BEST. My phone was stolen out of my hands in Santiago 12 hr before the trip started (and 12 hr after landing in Chile). It was super stressful (as I didn't know most #s - including Jimmy's - and was locked out of all accounts due to "suspicious logins" in Chile). Jimmy took me to the mall to help me get a cheap temporary phone as soon as it opened!!! He could not have been nicer or more gracious. He is amazing - and his tour company is as well!!! 1000000% recommended!!!! You won't regret it!
