Hola Amigos!!!! Thank you for choosing Santiago as your holiday destination. I am Myriam and I have been working in the field of tourism since 1999 (hotels, restaurants and travel agencies) but I always wanted to be a tour guide. I made my dream come true in 2007, falling in love with my country, my city, its history and its charming and cute places. I also have been leading groups through Chile and Argentina. I am 100% Chilean and I have lived my entire life in Santiago but traveled abroad and through Chile extensively. I would be honored to have the opportunity to introduce my homeland to you. I love welcoming foreigners to the country I love so much and the city where I grew up. I like to share my knowledge about history, wine, people and culture. I will show Santiago and its surrounding areas with tours that I offer, as well as customized tours, tailored to meet your needs, both with a view as a local would see it. Including less crowded places - off the beaten path whenever possible. Since I will share so many stories, maps and images with you I prefer to hire a driver for our private van so I can focus on travelers, also it will give us more time and independence because we don´t need to look for parking space or go back to the same place where the car is parked, the driver will pick us up wherever we need as much as possible. Do you want to learn why are we called the British of South America? Why do we have a sweet tooth? Why people of almost every Latin American country make fun of the Chilean spanish? I invite you to learn this and much more with interesting and juicy stories of Chile. I am looking forward to meeting you in Santiago to give you the most unforgettable travel experience.

Overview of your Santiago tour

On September 11th, 1973 a situation happened in Chile, it lasts 17 years and divides the population for many years. The militaries took over the government. Why? what was happening here? how did this started? How did it finsh it? These are some questions I will be answering. How affected Chile, my family and my country until now. Is it connected with the riot of Chile in 2019? Yes. Let's talked about a controversial topic in Chile and discover why now it is still diving Chile. This part of the history will be discovered during our visit to the "Museum of Memory & Human Rights" & the Memorials at the General Cemetery of Santiago. This Necropolis, the city of the dead has 86 hectares, more than 2. 5 million people is buried there, including presidents and artists. I want to show you why the General Cemetery is one of my favorite places in Santiago. I Invite you to discover the mausoleum resembling different architectures of the world.

From start to finish, Myriam was incredibly helpful. I worked with her prior to our trip to Chile and she was able to create 2 perfect itineraries! She is a wealth of knowledge across many subject areas from history to local culture to wine. Her English is fabulous and her delivery made understanding quite easy. You would be lucky to have her as a guide, we highly recommend her! Thanks, Myriam!!

This was a good tour of about 4 hours through the Human Rights Museum and then the Cemetary. This tour helps one understand the history of struggles Chile has had to face over the last 50 years. Myriam was a great guide, speaks great English, and can answer any question.

Superb guide. Myriam was articulate, passionate, and clearly experienced at her chosen profession. This tour exceeded expectations: Moneda Palace, Memory and Human Rights Museum, and the General Cemetery were excellent and enhanced by the experience of having someone who lived through the time period. Thumbs up and highly recommended.

Myriam is an outstanding guide. After having such a great time on a full day tour a week prior, we booked her for a half-day tour for a short layover. She made the most of the time by taking us to places we didn't see the first time. They were perfectly suited for us, and had every contingency covered to make sure we had a delicious dinner and time to make it back to the airport for our international flight. Myriam is a first class guide and we're happy to have made friends with her.

Myriam is an outstanding guide and the tour she arranged for us was excellent. We had arranged broadly in advance what we wanted to see, but Myriam sensitively picked up what we were interested in and adapted the tour and her commentary accordingly. She was flexible, sympathetic and understanding. Myriam is of course very knowledgeable about Chile and its history and provided us with an excellent insight into Santiago past and present and in particular the events of 1973. Very highly recommended.

What an outstanding tour-we learned so much about the political history of Chile and the visit to the cemetery was an unexpected treat that provided depth to the political discussion and Chile's history. A "can't miss" tour!
