My name is Pablo, and I’m thrilled to be your guide here in Chile. I’ve spent many years working in hospitality and tourism across the globe in countries such as Australia, the United States, and Brazil. These experiences have shaped the way I connect with people and share meaningful travel experiences. In Australia particularly, where I lived for 4 years, I became immersed in their organic wine-making culture and learned invaluable insights that I'd love to share with any oenology enthusiast by visiting Chile's famous and internationally renowned vineyards. I speak Spanish, English, and Portuguese fluently, which helps me ensure that everyone feels comfortable, informed, and truly welcomed. As your guide, my goal is to show you not only the highlights of Chile, but also its one of a kind landscapes, our culture, local stories and hidden treasures that make this country so special.

Overview of your Santiago tour

I invite you to experience more than a culinary journey — I want us to take a heartfelt walk through Chilean culture and my own childhood memories. As we explore vibrant markets and taste traditional snacks, I’ll take you back to the times when my grandmother used to bring little me to these very places. Every flavour tells a story, from the streets I grew up on to the roots of Chile’s National history. On this tour, you’ll be sampling local delights, meeting authentic characters, and uncovering hidden gems that reflect the soul of Santiago. This experience blends food, culture, and nostalgia into one unforgettable adventure.

We've booked food tours with Tours by Locals in lots of cities and this one was one of our favorites. Pablo was friendly, knowledgeable, and took care of us the whole time. He was funny and engaging and introduced us to many of his friends in the market as we toured and sample lots of tasty things. I think we sampled something like 13/14 Chilean specialties! Pablo was very professional and even provided hand sanitizer and napkins (and he had gloves and a sharp knife to cut things when needed). It was a lot of fun and we learned about Chilean culture as well. We booked an 11am tour and it ended around 2:30pm - the perfect lunchtime activity!

We have done many food and cultural tours during our travels, and this tour by Pablo was one of the very best! He took such good care of everyone in the group, explaining our route, the foods, and the history. He has such great energy and enthusiasm that adds to everyone having a super fun time! Thank you Pablo for a fabulous tour!

Pablo was the best guide and we had so much fun! First, he was able to accommodate our group of eight people for the tour. Meet up was easy, he kept all of us together, super prepared. We saw the markets, which were much more fun with a local who could show us truly Chilean foods and fruits, while interacting with locals along the way. He was also extra attentive to our 10-year-old, which was delightful. Pablo took all the photos as we toured, so we could relax and enjoy, then shared them all with us promptly. Don't hesitate to book - this was one of our best experiences on our trip! Thank you, Pablo!!!
