I'm a chilean, that was born in Santiago. After working as a mechanic technician at the airpot, I decide to work in tourism, because I realy enjoy to talk with people from another countries and cultures. What I do is to let them know the wounderful land that we have, in terms of knowledge teaching them about history, archeology, flora, fauna and architecture. My satisfaction is to provide my knowledge to the tourists that want to visit Chile. I also work for the US Embassy in Santiago to whom I provide transportation support as a bilingual driver-guide. As Chile is a wine producing country I manage a vast knowledge about different wine valleys, wineries and also the whole process of making one of the best wines of the world. I have been travelling through my country for many years, so I know the needs of de people. English Courses At ELS international Santiago, all Compulsory Education,mechanical technician at Inacap Institute, courses at pre Columbian Art museum, And a First Aid Course.

Overview of your Valparaiso tour

At just about one hour and thirty minutes drive from Port of Valparaiso we hit the main road (68) which connects Capital city of Chile. Santiago is a very cosmopolitan city with outstanding contrasts of Neoclassical architecture, Bauhaus style and modern designs. Our sightseeing tour is focused in the city center of Santiago where icon and historic sites are found like Main square of Plaza de Armas, Presidential Palace of la Moneda, Fish Market, Santiago's Cathedral, Parque Metropolitano, Barrio Bellavista which is the nightlife place in this city, in term of our gastronomy we have different kind of restaurant where you can enjoy our famuos seabass, king krabs, seafood, end tipical cuisine that contains a wide variety of dishes like Corn Pie, Cazuela de Vacuno ( Caserole of beef. If you option is to visit Valparaiso Or San Atonio port I really enjoy to do a walking tour of two hours through the hills of this City port that used to be the most important harvor in south america before panama canal was open.

We cannot begin to express how great Leoncio and his driver, Juan Paul (JP), were! Our tour was scheduled to begin at 9:00 am but we were delayed disembarking from our cruise; they quickly adjusted their plans to provide some sightseeing in San Antonio for my wife as I dealt with the complications of our disembarkation. Once together and on the road to Santiago, Leo recommended an amazing local restaurant along the route. The delicious meal and exceptional wine were just what we needed after a hectic morning. Once in Santiago, we toured the city sites and were treated to expert and detailed narration concerning the history and culture of the city. It was a thoroughly entertaining first day in Santiago! The touring vehicle was most comfortable with great air conditioning on a warm day. JP was an excellent and safe driver.

Leo was great! He met us at the cruise terminal in Valparaiso and we spent the day with him in Santiago. It was very helpful that he had a driver to drop us at various locations around the city and also to keep an eye on our luggage. The car was very comfortable We walked around the city and learned a great deal about the city -culture and history. Leo was very good at explaining interesting things to us. He was very flexible as to what we wanted to see and do. We stopped at a local place for a delicious lunch. He told us about wine tours that he often does which sounded interesting but we had done some wineries earlier in the trip. When looking at booking a tour Leo was very responsive to questions I had and he replied quickly when I was checking and reconfirming our tour.

Our group of 8 used Leoncio & his driver "Checho" for 2 wonderful days after coming off a cruise. On the first day, he was there waiting for us and we had a superb private tour of the colorful streets of Valparairso. We finished the day with a drive out to Casablanca for a really nice lunch, winery tour and tasting. On day 2, her picked us with all our luggage. Everything for our group of 8 fit easily in the MB Sprinter van. We toured Santiago, with some shopping & lunch, all while the driver stayed in the van for safe keeping. Before heading to the airport, we took the funicular up San Cristobal Hill for the gorgeous views and a ride down the other side on the gondola. Leo is very knowledgeable about many many things. What made it extra special was how much he showed that he truly loves what he does. A great experience that I highly recommend.
