Sean was awesomely the best of the bestest - very highly recommended!!! We toured Valparaiso and Vina del Mar with him, and he dropped us off at Santiago for our cruise embarkation the following day. That was our first trip to South America - our pre-cruise tour, as we cruised Chile, Antarctica, Falkland Islands, Argentina, Uruguay - still so many places to explore in this area. We will definitely come back, and use Sean's company again...

The Rapa Nui National Park is not cheap as we pay 54,000 Chilean Peso (80US $) per person. You have no choice, because you come to Easter Island to admire the impressive Moai statues. Easter Island is special and I am glad I saw it

We booked a trip on line from home before even venturing to Chile. But Mike was there to pick us up exactly as planned months before and took us on a really interesting day out. He knows his wine and he likes to share his knowledge, but he is definitely NOT a wine bore. The whole day was just such good fun.

Enjoyed the scenery, and culture within the community. It missed out on the 4 star review because the hygiene and service could be improved drastically. To further enhance improvements, I would recommend that this is fit for a family of 4, as it depends on your tour. The tour around the city is spetacular, but the wine tours need to be further enhanced. Anyways, I enjoyed most of the experience.

There was chaos in arrivals & we were approached by an official looking chap who had all the correct id, had our name on his list & knew which hotel we were transferring to; there were 3 'assisting' us - they had a very smart mini bus. They insisted we had to pay a "road poll charge". To cut a long story short - they got our debit card & withdrew two lots of £200 from our account. With the help of the lovely staff at the Intercontinental Hotel we managed to put a stop on our card pretty quickly. Our Bank was not surprised at what happened - they said Santiago Airport is notorious for this type of activity. So be very sure your taxi or transfer is official - be vigilant to the point of rudeness if necessary!

We had a pleasure of Waldo being our tour guide driving and showing us around Valparaiso. We had 2 children that are still young, so flexibility of the schedule is a must and Waldo is very flexible and intuitive of our needs. He even prepared desserts, drinks, fruits, you name it, he brought them with him so we have a pleasant day through out the day, as most of the restaurants is still closed during Phase 2. He even brought our bags along and carried them securely,to prevent robbery. Thank you Waldo for being very patient with us and waited until we had great photo for our Instagrams. We really recommend him!

We took this tour last year. The guide doesn’t speak English at all, and keep repeating the same information over and over. They also don’t let you move and ask you to be next to them all the time. Amazing place but awful guide
8. Private Tour to Colchagua Valley
Our tour consists of visiting two or three vineyards of your choice; Lapostolle is a vineyard of French tradition located on one of the slopes of the Apalta Valley. It was founded by Alexandra Marnier and Cyril de Bournet in 1994 and since its existence it has been characterized by its exclusivity. For its part, Montes vineyard is one of the most modern in the valley. Famous for the design of angels on their bottles, their wines are made to enchant the spirit. Viu Manent, meanwhile, has varied activities, ranging from horseback riding to participating in the harvest season. Without doubt, it is an enotouristic center, of which its restaurant, Rayuela Wine & Grill, stands out and has received the Certificate of Excellence on Tripadvisor for four consecutive years. Finally, another vineyard we recommend to visit is Casas Silva, which has the oldest winery in Colchagua. We invite you to delight in its surroundings and to taste its premium category wines, beside the polo field.

We of course enjoyed the spectacular scenery of the rugged, snow covered mountains and the flat, green valleys, but what made the trek particularly enjoyable was our guide, Esteban, who had extensive knowledge of the geology and the wildlife, as well as the history of the region. He spent most of the time talking, either answering our questions or just explaining the things we were seeing. It was like a National Geographic tour. And although, sadly, the air was still and therefore we did not see any condors, we were very happy with the trek.
10. Meet the Winemaker - An unforgettable bike tour!
We will hop on our mountain bikest to head east towards the Andes passing the little town of Chepica with it’s beautiful main square. After approximately 2h of flat cycling we reach our destination – a small winery situated in a shared space of other winemakers. After a tour of the winery you will taste 3 wines and a cider guided by the winemaker herself!

Moritz and Jenna gave us a fabulous visit to the Santa Cruz region. Tours were organised in advance that were just what we asked for. We visited two wineries with tastings and had dinner at a traditional Chilean restaurant. We hired bikes, an activity we haven’t done for 30 years and our hosts pointed us to a calm surfaced flat road through vineyards and farmland. Very beautiful. Moritz was kind enough to assist when the muscles seized. Thanks Moritz, a wife saver! At Casa Suiza, the bed is comfortable and the facility spotless. We met some interesting folk from across the globe. Thanks for a great stay.
