Only 70 miles northwest of capital Santiago, Valparaiso is Chile's main port and known for its bohemian, artistic vibe and lovely vistas. Its UNESCO-designated historic downtown offers charming colonial architecture, great seafood restaurants, markets and stores. Take 100-year-old funicular Ascensor Artilleria or climb Cerro Concepcion for stunning ocean and city views. Back at street level, visit writer Pablo Neruda's house.

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!

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...

Jimmy and Simone created a fantastic personalized day for our family. Their knowledge of the local area and fun personalities made sure everyone had a great day. The highlight was surfing! Everyone in our group was able to make it up – what fun. In addition, we had a 2nd personalized trip with just my husband and I to the foot hills of the Andes to visit hot springs. What ever you have in mind, these two will accommodate!

Tour date: Dec 12, 2020. Our tour with Alex, an enthusiastic Cuban native that speaks English well and has a great interest in history and traveling, was excellent. His knowledge of Valparaíso, from its foundation to its current state is great. What is especially interesting is his extensive knowledge of the different street art and murals. The Chilean people express their political desires, discontent and scandals through graffiti and Alex shows how to read these beautiful paintings. All is done in a safe, entertaining and very friendly manner, which makes us recommend this tour highly to anyone. Thank you Alex!
