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.

This was an excellent tour. Myriam provided great insight into Santiago and a great overview of Chilean history. The tour involved a lot of walking, so be prepared. Our hotel was not near the subway so we took the bus downtown instead. That in and of it self was part of the experience and was an excellent introduction to the city. The tour was well paced and Myriam made sure that we were able to keep the shaded areas and take appropriate rest breaks. We were impressed at Myriam's understanding of Chilean history and her ability to provide comprehensive descriptions, starting with a straightforward explanation followed by the ranges of opinions regarding the event and ending with her views. That really helped understand the nuance. This tour is a great introduction to Santiago and is well worth doing to gain an overview before diving in head first.

We were quite comfortable moving around Santiago with Myriam. We saw many aspects of the downtown area & she tailored the tour based upon our interests. She provided interesting descriptions, background & stories of the sites visited. Excellent English.

Mariam is a great guide! We saw a lot in the city, and she was very helpful in offering suggestions to be sure the tour met my interests. Miriam is very knowledgeable not just about basic facts, but also interesting details. She also is very easy to talk to. I highly recommend Miriam if you are in Santiago.

Our first time in Santiago and we couldn’t have hoped for a better introduction to the city than spending the day with Myriam.

Myriam was knowledgeable and fun. We walked and subwayed Santiago from 8:30am to 5pm, learned a lot and had a good time. Her insights on Chilean history and culture from Incan to current day were interesting and helped fill in my blanks from living in Santiago briefly as a young teen in 1977.

No question was too difficult for her—she answered everything with insightful and thoughtful responses. Myriam was attentive to my needs and even provided valuable recommendations for dinner and museums. If you're planning a walking tour in Santiago, I highly recommend Myriam. Her exceptional guidance made for an unforgettable experience!
