I wish I could be writing a review on the tour itself, but it never happened. I received email confirmation from TripAdvisor that the tour would happen and that my pick-up time was from 6:30-7:30 AM. I waited until 7:55. I emailed them and sent them a message via WhatsApp. No communication. I expect a full refund.

Carla and Brian were amazing guides and provided informed and entertaining commentary for our trip out to Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar. Communication prior to hotel pick up was great and we had a relaxing time walking the cobble-stoned streets of Valparaiso learning the history and taking in the street art. We had lunch at Vina Del Mar with local beers and Pisco sour cocktails!! Highly recommend this tour or any other tour with Discover Santiago- we would have like to have ventured into the mountains, however, COVID-19 had other plans for us and we had to return to Australia following the cancellation of our holiday.
