About the operator
- Yoga Sagol C00Great!. With to have just one more activity in the way back, maybe a different tasting wine to avoid mentally SantiagoAll about the man who was the guide in this trip, so fun, well educated, great English with a charm accent, We drove to tasting wine vineyard, we had a great time and pictures, then the Inca Lake, a breathtaking, then we visit some llamas friends wich was something something, then th traffic back to Santiago hotels, Parquearaco mall, food plaza and restorantes.
- TravelBum1400Poor tour operatorOur trip really should have been canceled and refunded. Farellones was closed due to no snow, and that was to be 70% of the trip. The tour operator let us know the day before, but would not let us cancel. We had no interest in skiing, but they stuck us on the "ski day" and made it a "panoramic tour", which was just driving around to the closed ski resorts. The tour guide was kind and tried his best, but got stuck with a poor situation, trying to appease us, who they should have just refunded. To top it off, the driver got lost on the way home (I know...who gets lost driving in the Google Maps age), so the drive home took almost 3 hours. Poor all-around effort from SmartTour.
- diegoalexandrec00Amazing trip and teamThe trip to Farellones and Valle Nevado was better than we plan. All the team, since the first contact by email/WhatsApp to the final, when we arrived at hotel, was so attentious!
- cinzialvilla00Genial!Malu and Diogene were super! The tour in Valparaiso was very beautiful. Malu explained us a lot of things of the city. She speked english, spanish and portuguese to let everyone understand everything. We loved her!
- Francesc_4_official00WorthwhileProps to the guide - Rodrigo! He was very funny and had an amazing knowledge about the cities Valparaiso and Viña del Mar. The tour was interesting and versatile. Our highlight was the tasty lunch on the beach in a restaurant of Viña del Mar.
- laurar26000A must do when visiting chileHighly recommend this tour. Loved learning about the history of chile from our tour guide rodrigo. Valparaiso was the best. Eye candy around every corner.
- terencereis00Great tourGreat service, Gabriel the guide was awesome - knowledgeable, helpful and not overbearing at all. Definitely recommend.
- giovannipG2007GM00Great tour, amazing sightsTour was great! Yuri (the guide), Marcelo (the driver) and Savio (the photographer) were super helpful and thoughtful. The sights were incredible, specially Embase El Yeso! I definitely recommend it!
- Phillosophizing00First Time SnowboardersGiven the two options of visiting Farellones and Valle Nevado or just skiing/snowboarding at Valle Nevado we did the latter. As the only English speakers on a large bus full of Portuguese speakers, Gabriel our guide made us feel very welcome and included. We got picked up promptly from our hotel and headed to a rental shop to get gear. The rental shop staff were very friendly but didn't speak English so Gabriel helped get us the help we needed. Gabriel even asked us if we needed lessons since it was our first time and he agreed to give us a private lesson of sorts. To be honest, the two of us first timers struggled a lot and Gabriel was patient and helpful, like a really supportive friend who happens to be an incredible snowboarder. Every teacher is different and he was very encouraging and pushed us to challenge ourselves and I was very appreciative. We had an incredible experience overall and would've been lost and confused without Gabriel's help. Also, Gabriel's knowledge of Chilean history, geology, ecology, and more was icing on the cake, we could not get enough of hearing how familiar he is with the mountain range.
- Felipe Cristian... d00Good times on a ski pairI've never ski before this trip and I love it, in farellones there are many activities for all levels of practioners, the environment is very joyful and the people are helpful, the guide make the trip better with hints and always ready to answer your doubts. Go for it!
- kryptoshred00Had a great time snowboarding at La Parva!Was a very excellent value for the experience and they picked us up right at our door! Guide was knowledgeable, friendly and went out of his way to make sure we made it home safe and sound.
- Alexandre A00Pleasant day!Yuri has a great energy and amazing knowledge about the tour and the history behind it. A pleasant day which we extremely recommend others to do.
- marianna33500Wonderful to the Gabriel and Oswaldo to Embalse El YesoI took a guided tour with Gabriel and is Oswaldo driving. The tour was excellent because of the guide and the driver who were courteous entertaining and provided a wealth of information. The destination is also very interesting as one gets to see the countryside the mountains and the reservoir which is gorgeous! Much recommend tour with excellent staff!
- JeyPi2700Excellent choice in Chile!You can book yours tours and enjoy it without any problems! It was my first trip outside Brazil and talk to a Brazilian person (Andrea) was awesome and passed me confidence. I didn’t have any problems with the tours I have booked. I recommend!
- guto_ribeiro9100The best you can possibly get!The tour was simply incredible, from the driver Osvaldo to the guide Gabriel everything was well planned and organized, Gabriel made sure that everyone was confortable and was always asking if we had questions about the trip. During the tour Osvaldo was a super careful driver, not to say that he is a mountain certified driver which translates well on how safety he drives while going up the mountain. This is a top 10 tour with the best guide and driver you could possibly get! Thank you Osvaldo and Gabriel.

I did this tour and it was an incredibly awful experience. After being picked up at 6:30am, the driver drove around in circles picking everyone else up for over 2 hours.
The tour is listed as being 9 hours long, and it lasted over 12 hours.
The only reason it was even that short was because the tour guide felt bad we were on the bus for so long in the morning and said they will drop us off first, promising by 5:30 because he knew we had a reservation at night. We didn’t get back until after 6:30 because they dropped off the tour guide and a few guests first, not going directly to our hotel as promised, and adding over 40 minutes to the eta that was determined when leaving Valparasio. Thus we ended up having to cancel our reservation. To top it all off, the driver was incredibly unsafe, constantly swerving between lanes because he was talking to the tour guide the whole time. The information that was provided was also very minimal. I learned a lot more information just reading Wikipedia about these locations. Lastly, after a long day, they finally took us to lunch at a restaurant that was vastly overpriced and the food inedible. We complained to the company and they refunded our trip but regardless, this was the worst tour experience I’ve ever had and would never recommend it.

Nicole was so amazing, so nice and brilliant! The tour was great and well beyond worth the price. I loved the added little boat tour. Suggestions for the tour company would just be to select a restaurant for lunch that is Chilean or South American food i stead of Japanese, given many of us are visiting from outside of Chile.

First, I must give credit to the guide, Yuri. Knowledgeable and highly entertaining, in 3 languages! Yuri is state of the art tour guide. Then these 2 cities are fascinating and polar opposites. Valparaiso is a throwback to the hippy era, colorful, quirky, charming and, like San Francisco, its hills offer fabulous views over land and water. Viña del Mar is the consummate beach town. We took a half an hour boat ride around Valparaiso harbor and got to meet the seals who hang out there. To top it off, we had a delicious lunch in a restaurant right above the beach in Viña del Mar, watching the Pacific waves roll in. It was a great day.

Yuri was our tour guide. He translated everything from Spanish to English perfectly. He’s energetic, informative, and friendly. Victor was a good driver. Valparaíso was a colorful city with painted murals plus street art graffiti everywhere. It’s known as Little San Francisco with its hills, architecture, and cobble stone roads. Funicular and boat ride included was a bonus. Viña Del Mar was also a nice coastal town. We had lunch at a nice restaurant right across the beach. 1.5 hr long ride was worth the excursion but understand pickup and drop off does take extra 30-45 min.

The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic, the driver was caring, but the city and tour itself… not worth it. I did this tour since I heard is a must when in Santiago, but you just go around the city, they show you things very fast, the most famous spots were all closed. And in Vina Del Mar they just go for lunch. I’m my opinion, there’s so many incredible places to go in Chile that this one was the most simple irrelevant day. But if you want to get to know the Pacific coast, you should take the tour.

First stop for coffee and food was horrible. Insanely generic tourist trap. Tour guide was great though. Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar were lovely, but it felt like we were just shuttled around to random tourist spots for some photos ops. Didn't feel even remotely authentic. Lunch was very average and extremely overpriced but with a wonderful view on the beach. One big thing worth noting: There should be a pick up spot and drop off spot. Picking up and dropping off everyone at their hotels is awful and wasted an insane amount of time.

Wonderful day going through Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar! Our tour guide Salvador was super engaging throughout the day and made some really good stops throughout that provide a ton of opportunity for good photos and great historical context. Also loved his musical additions during the commute out from Santiago that added a great personal touch to the experience. Loved the boat ride tour in Valparaiso as well! Thank you for making this visit to Chile incredible :)

The guide is great and has much knowledge on local history and economy . I don't remember clearly of his name, maybe Philip. The trip spent lots of time in Vina del Mar but only 2-2.5 hours in Valparaiso, while Valparaiso is the real highlight.

Yuri and Carlitos were great! To put things in context, I use a mobility scooter to get around because I can’t walk very well. They made the experience possible. There was only one small part that I couldn’t do and that was the stairs I’m Valparaíso. It started on-time with pick up at our hotel. The day included many stops with just the right amount of time to enjoy each one. We just got dropped off saying goodbye to the guys who now feel like friends. My 13 yr old son, wife and I thank you for a wonderful day!

We had the best trip to Valparaíso and Viña del Mar with our guide Gabriel and our driver Carlos who both did an amazing job showing us all the highlights of the two beautiful coastal cities. This is the ideal day trip to experience Valparaíso and Viña del Mar.
Gabriel is fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese and has an impressive knowledge of Chilean history, landmarks and the best and most photogenic spots in both cities - and he happily answers any questions. He is very friendly, helpful and professional.
Thank you for a wonderful and very memorable day. We will highly recommend this trip to anyone going to Chile.

Our cruise ship (Oosterdam) will be in port from 7:00am to 5:00pm on Dec 6th. That means we need to be back by 4:00pm. Will this tour work for us because I see that it's 9 hrs?
