Great guide, great part of town.

Much better than other tours we've taken. A fascinating neighborhood and Diego does an excellent job.

Santiago off the beaten path

Cool tour with a super guide.Visited places we would have not found on our own. Diego even took us to places with Polish accents which was super nice. High;y recommended.

Interesting unique area, amazing guide

This is my second tour with Diego! He is a great guide, very good with people, very accommodating and funny. The tour took a place in not-so-popular area but worth visiting if you have extra time! As always, Diego tells interesting stories with a lot of context. I 100% recommend him as a tour guide????

Hidden Gems

Diego calls this a hidden gem tour and he didn’t disappoint. Experiences and locations not found in the guide books, and plenty of opportunities for great photos. We also took Diego’s tour of central Santiago and he is an excellent guide.
