We enjoyed having a private tour with Gabriel. He was very informative about the area, and the car he drove us in was very nice.

Valparaiso, the second most important port in Chile, and the city of Viña del Mar
Overview of your Valparaiso tour
Valparaiso is perched among the hills which describe, though people and architecture, the past of the one of the most magnificent harbors in the Heritage site by UNESCO, which resulted in a boom for tourism and culture and the Cultural Capital of Chile, has been an important part of the country's history. It's a large bay with 45 hills around it that have naturally formed a spectacular amphitheater, the sea is the stage and each houses a seat with a panoramic view of the harbor. Its hills are characterized by their view points, promenades, steep stair and Narrow Street that if they had been formally designed they would not have the magic they have. As if this was not enough, the hills have funiculars, called elevator, that connect ordinary people, from the heights where they live, to the plan where business activity operates in the city. These funiculars were built since year 1883, today they are National Monuments, a many of them are still operating. Continue to the coast and visit Viña del Mar!

Our tour guide Gabriel was one of the best guide! He was quite nice and knowledgeable about the history of the city. He was very patient in explaining and showing us all the important/ interesting sites. The van used for the tour was clean, modern, comfortable and spacious with air-conditioning. Lunch was at a restaurant with wonderful view and delicious local specialty food! It was worth our time, money, and effort to have this experience. Thank you very much Gabriel. Dana

Nice tour with Gabriel to Viña and Valparaiso ! He was such a knowledgeable guide and a great driver. He knew the right spots to park so we could maximize our visit to Viña. He knew that Valparaiso was packed full so gave us the right amount of time in Viña. The murals of Valparaiso were my favorite but also loved the lunch spot with views of the sea.

We had a great time on our Valparaiso & Viña Del Mar tour! Our guide Gabriel was very knowledgeable and we were very comfortable in his vehicle, the "Black Beast". We were also able to stop at a winery on the way and enjoy a tasting. Would recommend this tour and Gabriel.
Steven M.United States
We took two tours with Gabriel. Santiago City tour and Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar. Our experience was excellent in both cases. He is incredibly knowledgeable on history and botany. We learned and saw so much. He could not be a nicer or more pleasant person to spend time with. We felt very fortunate to have been with him on these tours
Rick L.Australia
Gabriel and his grand car made our day exceptional. His knowledge on Valparaiso and Vin del Mar is very good. Always something interesting particularly the history and also his knowledge of horticulture. Absolutely recommend Gabriel O. The car he calls his black beast is the current top model with all the comfort and features above what we expected. Choose him even if only for the comfort of the car. You will not be disappointed.
