Wonderful overview - Berson was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He gave us a good overview of Santiago, its history and culture. We hit the major sights of Santiago in an air conditioned van which was greatly appreciated.

Perfect Half Day to Learn a Bit of Santiago - This tour was entirely within part of Santiago. It suited us because we had not be to Santiago before and wanted a glimpse of the city, not just another wine tour. We appreciated that our guide, Andreas, let us change up the tour and allowed us about a half hour just to walk around the area of town with beautiful street art murals. So much nicer that if we had only visited historical buildings. If you do a private tour and are looking for photo ops, we highly recommend seeking out street art tours!

Excellent tour of the main sights of Santiago - We were met by Alejandra our guide promptly and started on a walking tour of down town Santiago as it was proximate to our hotel. Alejandra was very knowledgeable and gave us a really good insight to the city. We then travelled to cerro San cristobel where we travelled up the funicular. At the top we stopped for a Mote con Huesillo which was delicious and then made our way up the avenue of the crosses where we saw the statue of the Virgin Mary. We travelled back down on the gondola where we had magnificent views over the city. Once back on terra firma we picked up our driver again and toured round the financial district. It was a great experience made all the more enjoyable by the fact that Alejandra was was so enthusiastic throughout. Would definitely recommend

Juan Pablo was a great tour guide! - What an amazing experience walking around the tour of Santiago with Juan Pablo. He is a very friendly and funny guy! We learned so much of the culture, sites of the gondola ride, to the city, and popular sites such as the cathedral church, and top places in Santiago. Enrique was our driver and also a very friendly man! We highly recommend this trip and especially with Juan Pablo as your guide.
