Evelyn's food tour sets the gold standard among such food tours I've experienced around the world. She has a wonderful and enthusiastic personality and her English was superb. A country's food is intertwined with its history, culture and social makeup and not only did I experienced a generous sampling of food, I came away with an appreciation of Chilean history and culture and I enjoyed learning about it as we walked through the markets and explored the city. Pick up at my hotel was effortless and the van was new and clean and the entire day spent with Evelyn was fun and unfolded seamlessly from location to location and I really felt quite pampered (especially after spending a week in the cold photographing the Patagonia!). By the way, during the tour I had the best empanadas I've ever had piping hot from the oven. I would certainly recommend this tour without hesitation for any visitor to Santiago and my advice is to skip breakfast on the morning of the tour because there will be a lot of food!
