Hello and welcome! My name is Marcelo, a Senior Private Guide based in Viña del Mar and Valparaíso, with more than 25 years of experience guiding international travelers throughout Chile. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with visitors from all over the world, especially from the United States and Canada, helping them discover Chile through carefully crafted private tours that combine culture, history, local life, and beautiful landscapes. My tours focus on some of the most fascinating destinations in central Chile, including Santiago, Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, and the renowned wine valleys such as Casablanca and Maipo. Each experience is designed to be relaxed, flexible, and personalized, allowing you to explore at your own pace while discovering both the highlights and the hidden gems that make this region so unique. I specialize in private tours for couples, small groups, and travelers who prefer a more personal and authentic experience. My approach is not simply to guide you through places, but to help you understand the culture, history, and spirit of Chile in a friendly and engaging way. I am fluent in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I take great pride in providing a professional, reliable, and welcoming service from the moment we meet. If you are looking for a knowledgeable local guide who truly enjoys sharing his country, I would be delighted to show you the real Chile — beyond the usual tourist routes. I look forward to meeting you in Chile! Marcelo

Overview of your Santiago tour

Turn your airport layover into an opportunity to discover Santiago, the vibrant capital of Chile. Instead of waiting at the airport, enjoy a private tour that introduces you to the history, culture and highlights of the city. During this flexible experience we will explore Santiago’s historic center, lively neighborhoods and scenic viewpoints with views of the Andes Mountains. You will learn about Chile’s past, its modern transformation and daily life in the capital. This tour is designed specifically for travelers with long layovers who want to experience the city comfortably and efficiently before returning to the airport for their next flight.

Your Santiago tour itinerary

I will meet you at the airport arrival terminal and we will begin our journey toward downtown Santiago. We start by exploring the historic center where we visit important landmarks such as Plaza de Armas and the surrounding historic district. From there we continue through different neighborhoods that show both the traditional and modern sides of the city. Depending on your available time we may visit scenic viewpoints with panoramic views of Santiago and the Andes Mountains. The itinerary is flexible and adapted to your layover schedule to ensure you return to the airport comfortably with enough time before your next flight. Drop-off at the airport departure terminal.
