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
