Hello and welcome! My name is Marcelo, a Senior Private Guide based in Viña del Mar and Valparaíso, with more than 25 years of experience guiding international travelers throughout Chile. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with visitors from all over the world, especially from the United States and Canada, helping them discover Chile through carefully crafted private tours that combine culture, history, local life, and beautiful landscapes. My tours focus on some of the most fascinating destinations in central Chile, including Santiago, Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, and the renowned wine valleys such as Casablanca and Maipo. Each experience is designed to be relaxed, flexible, and personalized, allowing you to explore at your own pace while discovering both the highlights and the hidden gems that make this region so unique. I specialize in private tours for couples, small groups, and travelers who prefer a more personal and authentic experience. My approach is not simply to guide you through places, but to help you understand the culture, history, and spirit of Chile in a friendly and engaging way. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I take great pride in providing a professional, reliable, and welcoming service from the moment we meet. If you are looking for a knowledgeable local guide who truly enjoys sharing his country, I would be delighted to show you the real Chile — beyond the usual tourist routes. I look forward to meeting you in Chile! Marcelo

    My mother and I traveled to Santiago for the first time and had the great pleasure of having Marcelo as our private guide for two days. One day we visited Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, and the Casablanca Valley, and the other day we explored the Maipo Valley.

    Marcelo and his driver, Paulo, were wonderful. Very organized and efficient, and with a great sense of humor, Marcello took us to multiple sites in San Antonio and Vina del Mar before heading to Santiago. Lunch was seafood at a local restaurant where the food was excellent; I strongly recommend the Locos. He even provided us with a "surprise" which we will forever have...

    We had such an enjoyable tour with Marcello. He was so interesting and informative. We saw the real Valparaiso and learned so much about its history. We had several opportunities to stop at artisan markets to view goods made in the area. We saw the gritty side with loads of graffiti (and some of it stunningly artistic). We also saw the posh beach and resort area where...
