Well organised tour, guide kept us well informed at all times. Pedro (guide) and Mataius (driver) were excellent. Pedro was particularly passionate about his job, informed us well with good information.

Julio is a knowledgeable private driver that took us to Yeso dam and Colinas hot springs. We departed at 630, a little earlier than the suggested 7, and it was well worth it to beat the traffic on the way and for better pictures. We were able to stop at any point for photo opportunities of the numerous waterfalls and scenic overlooks on the way. We passed San Jose fel Maipo on the way up because nothing was open. We stopped a little later at a local spot for empanadas and coffee breakfast before continuing to Yeso. We were given as much time as we wanted at Yeso before proceeding to Colinas. There again, we had as much time as we wanted. The normal group trip gives an hour at the hotsprings (which is just about as much as you need) but we were able to take more time on the private tour. On the way back we had an opportunity to stop by the chocolate house but we decided to skip it as it was absolute pandemonium with all the tourists. We did stop by Concha y Toro on our way back into Santiago and had an amazing time trying the wines and a good bite to eat at the restaurant. Julio was amazing in helping us with getting exactly where we wanted and stopping for any requests we had. Some of the trip is on narrow mountain roads which Julio handled very well in our large, comfortable all wheel drive SUV.

Private tour with Leonardo of Chile Vive Tours was a good way to explore areas of Valparaiso, see Vina Del Mar, and stop by a winery. The private tour allowed us the flexibility to go to a wineyard in Casablanca valley that we preferred (Cases del Bosque) instead of the stand for the tour. Our driver was instrumental in helping us set up this change. We were also able to spend as much or little time as we desired at various landmarks and stop for additional photos, including sea lions near Caleta Diego Portales. Our driver was able to answer judt about any question we had. The included tasting at Rio Tinto Casablanca is meh at best. However, you do have an opportunity to purchase other good wines, quick breakfast and bathroom break on the way. We had lunch at Castillo del Mar which had a great view and good food.

Absolutely wonderful experience! This was exactly the type of tour we were hoping to book. Great communication ahead of time and our guide Julio was so knowledgeable and professional. We were able to pack so much into one day, yet never felt rushed. Just the perfect combination of activities, great lunch and a really good wine tasting on the way home. We would definitely use this tour company again.

Our 1 1/2 day tour of Santiago City and of the country side were excellent. During the 1/2 day City tour, our guide and driver Julio took us to all the main buildings and sights: the Cathedral, the old Parliament, the Post Office, Cerro Santa Lucia, Bellavista , and many more. The next day, Julio drove us north of Santiago to the fascinating and welcoming Quintessence Alpaca farm. On the way back to Santiago, we enjoyed a fantastic view of the Andes and of the Aconcagua, After lunch in the Fish Market , we had a further tour of Santiago and the day ended up with a visit to a winery. During these two days, our guide Julio was always extremely pleasant, smiling and most helpful , providing us with clear explanations and suggestions as needed. As for the organisation from France of these tours, and during the tours, we had much cooperation , and always positive and timely responses and proposals from Claudia. Overall an exciting and excellent experience ...

Daniel gave a very detailed tour. Not having the time to rent a car and make the trek myself, being taken to viña del Mar, Valparaíso, and Casablanca, his attention to detail was terrific. Of the three, Valparaiso to me was the best due to the amazing art/murals on many of the buildings there. It is rightfully deserved to be considered a UNESCO site. Take the tour!

Our host Julio was fantastic! He showed us all of the highlights of Santiago. He was knowledgeable about Chilean history, culture, and traditions. The tour was a combination of driving and walking through picturesque and historical sites. I highly recommend this tour!

Julio was a fantastic guide and driver - polite and professional and fluent in English. He shared his passion for Santiago in a fun and entertaining way !

We loved our tour with Julio. We booked a private tour as there were quite a few of us, and were picked up promptly in a very comfortable and clean van. Julio was very knowledgeable and funny and managed to beat the traffic in a local's way! The restaurants that he suggested were also quite good. The booking process was great as Claudia responded to all questions very quickly and thoroughly. She also was proactive about reaching out to confirm as we got closer to the date. Highly recommend.

Valentina was very nice but trip was a bit disappointing. Very uncomfortable van with tight seats making it difficult not to bump your knees, and I’m short. Van under airconditioned. Wine tasting consisted of one bottle of wine between 6 people. I am used to a wine tasting to be several types of wine. I was just glad to get to my hotel and put the day behind me.

What a great tour! Valeska as a guide and Israel as driver made for a good team. First, communication was excellent with confirmation of hotel pickup time. Valeska and Israel arrived on time. We had description of what we were seeing and background information as we traveled to each of the stops. Valeska had a wealth of knowledge that made the entire day one of the best tours we’ve ever taken. We had a picture perfect day with the perfect guide.

We had Daniella as a driver and Sophia as our tour guide. They were awesome. Felt very safe and Sophia was an excellent guide.

From the start of the tour til the end of the tour everything was superb! Christian our tour guy was excellent, knowledgeable & funny. He made the trip exciting. The group was also a lot of fun. Luis the bus driver got us there safe. I love the way he made sure that we were safe & that the bus was kept clean (which is very important to me). I recommend this tour 1000%

All around, a great tour. Very diverse visits between Santiago, Vina Del Mar and Valparaiso. Guide, Steve, was probably the best we’ve ever had. He was very proactive (sent us schedule and tips for day the night before), knowledgeable, and very energetic. He also was great at giving us a head’s up on bathroom break expectations. The tour itself was very busy but a lot of fun. In fact, it was almost too ambitious and in some instances felt hurried…but to get everything promised into the day, it had to be that way. Fish market visit was very cool with sea lions very close by. Lunch was good and not overly-priced. Winery was excellent and alpacas were a surprisingly highlight at the end of the day! Overall, we highly recommend this tour and thought it was definitely worth the price.

Lovely day! Great way to see Valparaiso. Nice balance between walking, driving, and being at points of interest. Our guide was fantastic - would definitely go on another tour again.
