Tour guide in Santiago Valparaiso Christopher John W.

I was born in Barcelona, Spain, my dad was English and mother from Chile. As a child lived first in Honduras, but by the age of 7 was in the UK for the next six years , first in Islington London and then Hastings, east Sussex (boarding school ), that's where I got my distinct fluent english , which makes me very easily understood and different from those with heavy south american accents. . Finally Argentinal would be my last stop , here I finished last school years in a english boarding school too , near the city of Cordoba, La Cumbre. In 1990 my parents decided to settle in Santiago de Chile , maybe the recovery of democracy helped in this crucial decision. After studying hotel administration in Santiago I became a flight attendant for then Lan Chile , for almost four years. I was then introduced into receptive tourism by a friend who knew well the industry , I could tell from the getgo, it was going to be my bag. I enjoy showing the diversity of my country , with rich culture, history and traditions, and also appreciate meeting different walks of life. Like wine , I believe in doing things with passion and dedication, including detailed planning ahead , reserving a menu , restaurant or vineard, getting hold of winery tours and or tastings with confirmed reservations, in high season and many other small but crucial details that in the end, make a unforgetable and memorable experience. With more than 23 years experience in the trade, I feel confident providing quality time, making sure to meet clients needs. If you have fun I have fun !!
