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 Valparaiso tour

From the port of San Antonio, we will take a road that take us through the agricultural areas and the wine district of San Antonio and then to Casablanca. Then we will continue to Valparaiso, the cultural city declared world heritage site by Unesco in 2003. My recommendation is walking with me through the hills if you can do it, or by car we will try to enjoy as much as possible, having some beautiful stops for pictures opportunities and history. Time for lunch during the day. After all this day of experiences we continue to Santiago crossing wine district of Casablanca and agricultural Valley of Curacavi. In Casablanca to can have the opportunity, if you want, to stop there and have a wine by glass or just to stop for a moment and visit the wine store and take advantage of my knowledge of wine (the option depends on your timing too). I am looking forward to organizing your private shore excursion. *if this tour doesn´t fit your schedule, I can arrange a shorter or larger tour, write for more information

Myriam provided a wonderful tour. Due to medical circumstances, we were limited to non-stressful walking and, as such, Myriam and the driver did their best in hilly Valparaiso to allow us to see beautiful views, murals, interesting buildings and get lots of pictures. Myriam provided a lot of educational and fun information along the way. Her English is very easy to understand. She made reservations for lunch with glass of wine at an excellent winery. We ended up buying several bottles of the best Pinot Noir my wife has ever tasted and my Cabernet Sauvignon was also one of the best I've ever tasted. Then off to another winery that had a beautiful view. As we were on our way to our Santiago hotel, Myriam provided recommendations and a map for things to do, where to go and where to not go. We enjoyed the tour, her personal touch and professionalism, and highly recommend her!!

Our tour of Valparaiso and Vina Del Mar with Miriam was comprehensive and very engaging. Miriam's love for the art of Valparaiso is evident and she is a knowledgeable conversationalist of many subjects involving her district and country. We had a great day- informative and fun. Plus good exercise!

Myriam is an excellent guide and we had a wonderful day with her. Her level of knowledge, enthusiasm and flexibility made the tour very interesting and fun for all of us with our different interests. She went out of her way to give us useful advise for the rest of our stay in Santiago and tailored the tour to our interests. A wonderful day for all of us.
