Victor Hugo was informative and knowledgeable and kept the tour as we wanted it. It was a shame we did not have more time in Santiago

My mother and I visited Santiago, Chile before going a cruise. We organized a half day tour of the city with Victor as our guide. Victor was very friendly, knowledgeable, dependable and experienced. He provided an excellent city tour that provided us a good overview. He took us to visit local markets and areas that were not high tourist areas. He also provided great information of other areas to visit while we are in the city. We appreciated the local flavors of the city, and we absolutely loved Santiago and cannot wait to return. We highly recommend Victor as a guide.

We very much enjoyed our tour of Santiago in a comfortable air-conditioned car. Victor Hugo shares his broad knowledge about his city and country in a pleasant and accessible way. We loved our visit to the amazing fruit and vegetable market and to Santiago's very interesting cemetery, as well as our tours of various neighborhoods. Highly recommended.

If you want to see what life is like in Santiago and get glimpse of it history, this is the tour for you. Victor clearly loved his country and city and listening to him share what he knew was a pleasure.

We had a fantastic half-day tour of Santiago with Victor Hugo T on January 4, 2026! We had never been to Santiago, and we were really interested in the history and architecture of the city. Victor crafted a wonderful itinerary for our tour based on our interests. Victor was also an amazing tour guide, providing interesting and thoughtful commentary for every place we visited. We of course visited the El Mercado Central market, as well as the General Cemetery, both of which were amazing! While we drove by the government palace, we were not there on the correct day of the week to see the changing of the guards. We had booked a Maipo Valley wine tour with Victor for the following day, and Victor offered to start the next day's tour a bit early so we could experience the changing of the guards ceremony before we drove to the Maipo Valley. Thank you Victor! You are amazing!
