With the city tour we visit the main tourist attractions of Santiago. Our guide was very complete in the description of them. The next day we visited one of the most important vineyards in Latin America, where we were able to taste their wine.

Mitchell • traveled in September
Very flexible if you like to travel more independently and still have a guide for part of the day. It would’ve been nice to see a little bit more of vina Del Mar and Valparaiso but other than that I loved it! There’s plenty to do in Santiago that can keep you occupied for at least 3 to 4 days including ski resorts that’s big if traveling during their winter months. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and easy to talk to! I can see myself coming back here!
