Great Tour

Very informative tour with a very friendly, helpful guide.

David Payne · November 2026

Great tour, so much better than going self guided

We really enjoyed our tour, led by Abraham. It's so much better getting a local perspective and to hear the meaningful background stories on what we were seeing. He added so much depth to our first day in Santiago...and from our discussion, I can't wait to read more books by Chilean authors

Worth it

An amazing guide offering a wonderful chance to explore history

Diego is a fantastic guide who took the time to show us all the interesting parts of Santiago and share facts about the places on the tour. It was a lovely walking tour where I learned a lot about Chile, Santiago, and both recent and pre-Colombian history. He told many stories in a short time and also shared some nuances of Chileans, like how they make jokes and use expressions. It was fun and educational at the same time, and my partner and I highly recommend him.

Highly recommended - Better with a teacher

We have done many walking tours and Diego's deserves its award of 'best in South America'. We loved the tour. Diego is clear, funny and informed and works very well with the group. A real professional.
