Private Tour: Santiago City Sightseeing

Santiago, Chile

Ideal for first-time visitors to Santiago, this private guided tour is a well-rounded introduction to Santiago's famous sights. With a choice of a morning or afternoon tour, you'll have the rest of the day to explore Chile's capital city further on your own.

Your tour takes you through the main streets of Santiago's civic center with its many different architectural styles. You'll pass the neoclassical Moneda Palace, built in the 18th century and current seat of Government; the Plaza de Armas, or main square, with its cathedral and the Central Post Office.

Your tour continues to the Parque Forestal, based on Paris' Champs-Elysees and Santa Lucia Hill, where the city of Santiago was founded in 1541. You'll continue to the bohemian area of Bellavista and climb the San Cristobal hill for a panoramic view of Santiago with the Andes mountains in the background.

Your tour concludes with a visit to the handicraft village of Los Graneros del Alba. This attraction is closed on Mondays, when an alternative attraction is substituted.

We saw a lot of Santiago, which was great! Our guide's use of English could have been better. He showed us so many interesting places and told us so much about Santiago and Chile. We were glad to have had this introduction on the first day of our trip.

Both our driver and tour guide were really wonderful. Sights were explained history given. Time was provided to explore sights._br/_ We found the tour comfortable and well worth doing a private tour. Our guide did speak excellent English which was extremely _br/_ helpful . Thank you

It was a good way to get to know the various areas of the city - and what we wanted to go back to. Very much enjoyed the park and view from the hills. The guide was OK but we found the commentary quite repetitive. Still worth seeing, we liked the people and sights of Santiago very much.

This was a great personal introduction to Santiago, which is a wonderful city for four of us traveling together. From our pick-up at our in-town hotel, we learned from Carol and Rodrigo about the city and country history, saw the major sites government, old churches, old homes and gardens of times gone by, museums, and learned about the development of Chile from the indigenous peoples to the Europeans who came in the 1500s. We walked some and drove around some it was a nice mix of being out but avoiding steep hill climbs. It provided enough of an overview to later explore in more depth on our own. We enjoyed it so much, two of us booked a separate private day trip to nearby Valparaiso and the wine country also highly recommended on our return to the city. We found the Chilean people to be very friendly and helpful. We felt very safe. Carol and Rodrigo both had excellent English skills, and were eager to share their country with us.

Great tour. Our guide Edwardo picked us up at our hotel on time. The tour was just my wife and I. We saw all the sights and had a one on one commentary. The best way to do Santiago. Edwardo gave us many tips on what to do and how to use the metro, and also where to eat. The reason for 4 stars, no bottled water in the van and the van air conditioning broke early in the day. They did get us a new van at our next stop. Solid tour. Great fun.

There were only two of us on this tour. Very intimate and took us to places throughout Santiago and plenty of time to enjoy each stop and walk around the various stops. This is a recommended orientation tour for anyone new to Santiago

We only had two nights in Santiago so wanted to see as much as possible. Our Viator 3 hour highlights tour was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend.

A very intense architectural tour of the highlights of the city. It's great to see history in front of your eyes and explained by a knowledgeable guide. Definitely recommend the private tour for this short two hour excursion.

The driver was terrible- gave us the most jerky drive around the city, and kept us boiling in the heat, for we had to keep asking her to turn on the airconditio e ring the car!!, seemed like an inexperienced driver, constantly accelerating and braking suddenly giving us whiplash thru the 4 hour trip!!!_br/_ The guide was knowledgeable but we felt we were taken to places he wanted to go rather than cover the iterinary .

Excellent tour done on Sunday, when the city is more calm.
 

Review by:   rvsukhi,    December 2017 Review: 1 star rating: I do not recommend this
The tour was good. The good part was that, we 3 of us were the only ones in the van, so it was more of a private tour. _br/_ However we felt, that it was not a complete city tour and we were taking rounds in the neighbourhood. stopped at couple of places. I would suggest getting to know the route with a map would help understand what the tourists can expect. _br/_ The tour mentions a stopover at San Cristobal Hill, but instead we were taken to Santa Lucia Hill, Which was right across our hotel._br/_ Also keep in mind, Santiago is a high traffic area, and taking this tour on a Fri afternoon/Evening hours could be a nightmare.

What an incredibly knowledgeable guide Rodrigo was. What he didn't know about Santiago isn't worth knowing. A wonderful half day experience visiting all the key spots - well worth the tour if you're short on time as I was. The chauffeur's driving was skilled and Rodrigo was so helpful and patient. Thank you so much!

The tour gave us a great overview of the City.. and Claudio spoke excellent English. If you want to see the highlights, definitely worth it.

Sergio and Max were extremely wonderful. Sergio has an extensive knowledge of history and the sights around Santiago. The historical backdrop makes the sights and sounds that's much more interesting. Both Max and Sergio went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure our enjoyment...not only on the tour but on our entire trip by giving us advice on other things we may want to see. Highly recommend!

Our guide was charming and very knowledgeable about everything! We learned a lot about Chile and Santiago. The places we visited were spectacular, historic, lovely and charming. The chauffer was great, too. I highly recommend this tour and this company. Outstanding customer service and reliability, not common in Latin countries!

This was a terrific tour. Our guide, Claudio Millan was great as was our driver, Marco. We had the good fortune of meeting Claudio the day before on the private tour of Vina del Mar and Valparaiso from Santiago. Claudio was so knowedgeable about the city, the historic sites, the market that we couldn't help but enjoy ourselves. My husband and I would highly recommend this tour and guide.

Review by:   Jaime D,    October 2016 Review: 2 star rating: It was OK, but could have been better
We were toured by Ricardo, who had a separate car and driver. He arrived early and ahead of the car which arrived about 10 minute past the appointed time. I had forgotten to click on the language preference while signing up and Ricardo had presumed we were Spanish speaking since we had Spanish last names. Good thing he also spoke English decently well. Ricardo was well-mannered and would take pictures whenever we requested.

Everything I hoped for in a tour of a brand new city and country for me. Learned about the history, politics, culture, people - and got to see so many great sites! My guides did a great job of providing so much in 3 hours, which is all of the time I had, so this was perfect.

A good tour but as it ended in the dark I would suggest it starts an hour earlier. Tour guide was very communicative and knowledgeable but she should give you time to take in the views and not command your attention 100% of the time.

Although our guide was 30 minutes late, we did enjoy this tour. Our guide spoke good English and was easy to understand. He showed us the main highlights of Santiago, but more importantly got us out of the van several times. We walked down streets, through the fish market and climbed St Cristobal Hill. By walking we felt like we got a better flavor of the city life.

The tour was were professional. The guide - Ricardo - with car/driver arrival few miunutes before scheduled time. Our guide was a very friendly and very professional guide. The Level of English was very high. We have got plenty of information about history of Chile, landmarks of Santiago de Chile, all oiur questions were answered in details and patiently. We may just wish that every guided tour is arranged so professional.
