Great Intro to Santiago
"On our first day in Santiago, we did a walking tour with Cristobol. He provided a great overview of the City and answered all of our strange questions. Cristobal has a great sense of humor and is an excellent ambassador for Santiago. Gracias "

Friendly, fun, local-flavor tour.
"The tour was just what we wanted. We got an overview of Santiago and many neighborhoods and significant locations, plus local color and insights. Alejandra was super friendly and engaging and as an English teacher spoke English very well. In addition to pointing out places and their details, she shared some of the interesting and tumultuous history of Chile. If you want to walk a lot and learn about Santiago with a local, Alejandra is fantastic. And if you want to sit and have lunch, she told us she’ll do that too - she’s flexible. "

She’s a gem
"Amalia was very thorough with communication directly after our booking, and the morning before our tour. Very thoughtful about standing/walking in the shade on our hot day. She had thorough historical knowledge and pointed out Chilean foods and traditions as we saw them as well. She didn’t miss a beat when we wanted to stop for gelato too. Favorite stops were plaza de Armas and San Cristobal funicular and cable car. Also tried mote con huesillo too! Santiago is not one of my favorite cities, but Amalia helped us make the most of it. "

Beautiful afternoon!
"Had a wonderful afternoon with Alejandra! She showed me some beautiful parts of Santiago and gave me an amazing recommendation to a Chilean restaurant which she walked me to at the end of our tour! Food was delicious!
Couldn’t recommend her enough, it felt like I was walking around with a friend rather than a stranger!! Muchas gracias! "

Enjoyable and Insightful Santiago Tour
"I reached out to Cristobal after reading several reviews of his tours. We had limited time in Santiago and wanted to learn a bit of everything, history, culture, politics, food, art and neighbourhoods and chose a private tour with him. Although our tour was almost 4 hours long, the pace and information given was not overwhelming. We had a wonderful lunch at the Central Market on the non-touristy side of the complex, wonderful food and service at Paila Blanca. Cristobal even helped us with navigating the metro to get to the Museum of Memory to end our day. There is so much more to discover and we hope to return one day to Santiago for a more leisurely visit."

An Ideal Introduction to the City
"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Santiago with Alejandra. She was an attentive, knowledgeable, and personable guide who clearly loves her city. It was a pleasure to experience Santiago through her eyes, as she shared engaging stories, historical context, and local details that truly brought the city to life. She was also generous with practical tips and excellent restaurant recommendations, which were incredibly helpful during our stay. This tour was a wonderful way to get to know Santiago, and we highly recommend Alejandra."

Unique food experience
"Cristobal guided us through downtown Santiago and introduced us to street foods and other unique culinary treats of Chile. We had a fun time and ate well. We especially enjoyed the fish plate in the Mercado Central and the empanadas and cocktails in Lastarria. I highly recommend this tour."
