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.

Overview of your Santiago tour

The Coastline is located 1 and 1/2 hours from Santiago. On the road we will discover the agricultural area of this region, where you will learn about our agricultural products, typical food and drinks. Along the road we will see Casablanca wine district, known for its Sauvignon Blanc. We will continue driving until we get to Valparaíso an old port with charming neighborhood, declared "World Heritage Site" by Unesco in 2003, city of old trolley buses, Funicular with more than 100 years old. It's a neighbourhood where you can see the italian, german, british and french influence. Mix of architecture and colors that you will enjoy. And great picture opportunities. Valparaiso is hard to describe you just need to have the experience. Walking through the hills is my best recommendation to discover the little corners, stairs going nowhere, artistic murals After Valparaíso we continue to Viña del Mar called the "Garden city" so close to Valparaíso but totally different, more modern and attractive city.

If you're visiting Chile, Valparaiso is not a place to miss, and Miriam made it the highlight of our trip. My wife and I had such a pleasant day with her. She met us there and walked us through the history of the city, and she knows it so well that every street had a story. One heads-up for anyone going: the lower part of town near the port is rough around the edges. Some of the old buildings are covered in graffiti and still carry the marks of the 2019 unrest. Don't let that discourage you. You pass through it on the way to the artistic part, it has nothing to do with the tour, and it's a real old port town with a lot of history. Then you get up into the hills and everything changes. Fair warning that Valparaiso is hilly, so wear comfortable shoes, but the way Miriam structured the day makes it very easy. She knows where the funiculars are and where to take a break, so there's never too much walking at once, and we never felt rushed. We rode the funicular, looked down on the port, and wandered through colorful neighborhoods with street art on every wall. Miriam introduced us to some local street artists, a very pleasant couple whose work is some of the most recognizable in Valparaiso, and she took us to the fish market, where we saw the biggest pelicans we've ever seen. Five stars again. If you're headed to Valparaiso, book Miriam.

Our day exploring Valparaiso & Viña del Mar was perfect. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel by a very courteous driver in a clean comfortable van. Myriam was a knowledgeable and fun host. She shared so many details about the history of these two cities. We had a great time exploring the streets of Valparaiso on foot. When we showed interest in the street art she took the time to share stories of each of the artists and even brought us to studios where we could meet the artists and purchase work. We highly recommend spending the day with Myriam!

The tour was wonderful. Myriam was great! She even suggested a wonderful local restaurant for lunch which made the day even better. Great information, wonderful personality and super English.
