Working as a Tour Guide since 1988, I do enjoy touring visitors around Chile, because; this is a great place to visit, with wonderful and unique landscapes, exquisite local meals and a very friendly culture.

La Joya del Pacifico
Overview of your Santiago tour
Valparaiso, Chile's oldest and one of the two most important sea ports. Declared World Heritage City by UNESCO. This is a very impressive and scenic port, overlooking the Pacific Ocean from most of its colorful houses and magic neighbourhoods, where its cosmopolitan citizens and all kinds of artists living here, provide the port with a unique flavor and character. Finally Chile's one of the three most popular export products is wine. Well-known all around the world, due to its special bouquets, gentle and smooth flavors and its unique skill: no "Philoxera" disease in the vineyards, making of wine a Chilean icon product.

Victor is an outstanding tour guide. His English was excellent. He has been a guide for many years and is extremely knowledgeable about the area. I recommend him without hesitation! He also has a large Mercedes van if you need lots of space for your luggage.
Patrick D.United States
Victor was an outstanding tour guide. We used him three days in a row. The first day was for transfers from the airport and a tour of Santiago. The second day was a three vineyard wine tour of the Maipo Valley. He even bought us empanadas for lunch at our second winery which were delicious. The third day he drove us to Valparaiso, gave us a tour of the city and then dropped us off at our hotel. His English was excellent and he was very friendly and helpful to all four of us.

Great Tour-Victor was wonderful
John F.United States
Victor went above and beyond in our tour of Valparaiso, Vina del Mar, and transfer to Santiago. He is one of the best. Our cruise ship's arrival in Valparaiso was delayed due to weather conditions. He waited seven hours for our arrival. Despite the delay, he provided a thorough tour of Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar and enabled us to experience the history and beauty of each. He is warm and caring and will make your tour experience memorable.

Our tour with Victor to Vaparaiso, Vina Del Mar and Santiago was absolutely wonderful. Victor was so accommodating and informative and made our short time in Chile so much more interesting. His exceptional service and knowledge truly made our trip and nothing was a problem. He recommended a fabulous winery for lunch which was a highlight amongst a day of fantastic sightseeing. Would highly recommend Victor for your next visit to Santiago.
