Exploring Santiago on foot means moving at the perfect pace to connect with its stories, admire its contrasts, and truly feel its vibrant energy. It’s a healthier, more conscious way to travel, with minimal impact and maximum connection. We’ll wander through historic plazas, climb iconic hills for breathtaking views, and immerse ourselves in the daily rhythm of local life. For longer distances, we’ll use the subway or bus—the same way locals do—embracing an authentic, sustainable experience. Each tour is tailored to your pace and interests, ensuring that together we make the most of every corner of this remarkable city.

Roberto provided an outstanding full day tour of Santiago for us prior to departing on our cruise. He met us promptly at the Castillo Rojo hotel to begin our walking tour of the city. He enlightened us with his family story, key political events over the past few decades. He showed us highlights of the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art and the Museum of Memory and Human Rights. At the Presidential Palace, he recited an impassioned recitation of Allende's final speech before his death with the military coup.

Roberto was a 10 from start to finish. We enjoyed a day full of interesting cultural and historical discoveries including an amazing lunch at the weirdest restaurant I've ever seen. I highly recommend that you choose Roberto as your guide.

Roberto was our guide for an all day walking tour in Santiago. Roberto is a great, knowledgeable, enthusiastic guide. We were all over the city during our tour. Different neighborhoods, different areas of the city, and he provided context of the area's we were in. He also helped us to arrange transportation from the event we were at in the city to the airport when we were concerned public transportation would take too long. If you are looking for a great guide while in Santiago, Roberto is excellent.

Absolutely fantastic experience touring with Roberto! He really went out of his way to make sure my husband and I were entertained and engaged for two full days. He picked up quickly on the types of activities, venues and eateries that caught our interest. Roberto has a great enthusiasm for his work and great personality. When we come back to hike Patagonia, we'll look for Roberto to guide us on that future adventure as well.

Roberto was the perfect guide for our two days in Santiago. Knowledgeable and friendly, he engineered a tour that was really suited to our interests and pace. We took advantage of a car that he provided both days, that really allowed us to see more in the time we had. One day in the city and another driving to the sea to see Valparaíso and Vina del Mar. His recommendation for food were exceptional throughout. Most importantly, he's a great conversationalist with a great energy. Highest recommendation!

Roberto was awesome. He spent a lot of time answering my many questions about life in Chile, and I loved that. Also very informative about the sites. He accommodated taking us to places we were interested in going and he had some great suggestions too. Overall, wonderful tour guide.

Your Santiago tour itinerary

I’ll meet you at your hotel to begin a walking adventure through Santiago’s highlights. Together we’ll explore the historic heart at Plaza de Armas, ascend Santa Lucía Hill for panoramic views, and admire the grandeur of La Moneda Palace. A ride on the funicular will take us up San Cristóbal Hill to see the city from above, before we finish the day in the calm greenery of Bicentennial Park. Most of the tour is on foot, with public transport used when distances are longer—efficient, authentic, and sustainable. Every experience is customized to your preferences, offering a low-impact, high-reward way to live Santiago in depth.
