Hola Amigos! My name is Carolina, and I'm a food and Wine passionate/tour guide :) I have a journalism mayor, but after landing my first job in a vineyard, I fell in love with it and decided to dedicate 100 per cent to be an ambassador for Chilean wines and gastronomy. I have worked in vineyards of the most important wine valleys of central Chile, as well as the top restaurants of Santiago, while educating myself as much as posible. My passion for travelling, food and different cultures, led me to start guiding for an American company. This job gave me a fantastic opportunity to meet new friends all the time, while revisiting the vineyards and seeing what's new to taste. I'm a history and politics passionate too, specially Andean cultures, so I would love to take you not just on wine and culinary tours, but also tell you as much as possible about our ancestors and all their legacy. And if that can be done with a glass of wine in our hands, why not? :) We can do walking tours if you want, but if you need a car, I have the perfect van and driver: my wonderful husband! He's a tour guide too, and trust me, we make the best team. Since I enjoy my work so much, I want you to learn just as much as have fun. I also love to wear Bandanas. . . of many colours, so you can spot me from far when I'm picking you up from the airport or cruise. Can't wait to hear from you! Saludos Sommelier School of Chile, Level 1 and 2 Wine and Spirits Education Trust (WSET) Level 1, 2 and 3 Journalism Degree, University of las Americas Asociate, Central Valley Guides Asociation, Chile First aids Course, Red Cross of Chile Ten years of experience guiding for upscale, tailor made tour agencies. I am not a driver. but I work with great drivers, so I'm able to arrange a car for our tours.

Overview of your Santiago tour

As the song that declares ¨Valparaiso de mi amor¨, We will head west of Santiago for an hour and a half to visit the wonderful Valparaiso coastal city, and explore its magical hills full of colors and street art. UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2003, the unique streets of its hills, some of them barely suitable for pedestrians, invite us to wander around every little corner, discovering every detail that makes this city so bohemian, so artsy, so unique. Please join me on going from one Funicular to another, up and down the hills, discovering new murals or listening to great live music from local artists. and of course, some great food in between. If you are not so into walking, we can do a panoramic with the car, and stop in a vineyard on our way to Santiago. NOTE: If there's anything you want to add or change, please send me a message, I will be more than happy to customize the tour as you wish. - For more than 4 people, we can arrange a bigger car, the more the merrier!

Carolina O was not able to make our tour due to a family emergency but she provided a replacement guide which was excellent as well as a great driver. We had a very nice walking tour of Valparaiso and then were dropped off at our cruise ship in San Antonio.

Contact Carolina-O when visiting Santiago and the surrounding area. You will be disappointed if you do not select Carolina-O for discovering the treasures of Valparaíso.
 She is personable, adaptable, energetic, and charismatic, with a genuine passion for sharing Valparaíso’s eclectic city vibe, laid-back personality, and hidden riches through her “My Love of Valparaíso” tour. Born and raised in the surrounding hills of Valparaíso, Carolina-O offers a truly unique, first-hand perspective of the city and its culture. Her deep local knowledge, humor, and warmth make the experience both informative and fun. Carolina-O is a dependable, funny, and outstanding tour guide whose goal is to ensure you truly experience her home region—not just see it.
