Great experience - I was able to see the rich history of Sanitiago. The tour guide was very knowledgeable.
Pablo was an amazing guide. We had the best day seeing the sights. He was very knowledgeable and provided great insights to the city. He was engaging with all members of our group and the tour ran like clockwork
Incredible experience. Lots of history and information. Some great sights to see and wonderful guide Nacho and driver matis. Highly recommend!!
We really enjoyed our walking city tour with Pablo. A small group tour is the way to go as it was more personal and Pablo’s knowledge of the city was extensive and interesting. We also enjoyed our cheese empanadas and covered quite a bit of the city thanks to Alfred - our driver. Thankyou Pablo & Alfred
Roberto was the driver and he was always where we needed him. Paulo, our guide, was very knowledgeable and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble.
Nacho was excellent. Very knowledgeable and personable. We had a great tour. Highly recommended
The day was fantastic, with Nacho providing a true experience of Santiago for this Australian tourist. Gracias, Nacho, for a truly wonderful experience of this amazing city. Thanks, Namik. P.s. I loved the coffee!
This was a good way to se the city. We got to explore on foot. Our guide Pablo and driver Matteus were very good and knowledgeable. Thank you for a great day
Great half day hybrid walking and bus tour. The tour guide Franco was very knowledgeable and hit the must see sights in Santiago. Perfect mix of things to see.
We had a fantastic experience on this Santiago half-day walking tour and would highly recommend it! Our guide, Sofia, was absolutely excellent – friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole tour very enjoyable. The itinerary was great, with a perfect mix of history, culture, and interesting places to see. There were also plenty of beautiful photo spots along the way. One highlight was the timing at Santa Lucia Hill (Cerro Santa Lucía) – we arrived ahead of the crowds, which made the experience much more special. The food samples were also a nice touch and gave us a taste of local flavors. Overall, a very well-organized and enjoyable tour – a great way to see Santiago in a short time!
Nice and relaxed tour to visit some of the main sights of Santiago. Sofia is very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed a coffee at the beginning of the tour and an empanada at the end. Walking is moderate, no specific level of fitness required.
It was an excellent walking tour with the guide Ramses who was amazing. He kept the tour interesting.
We had a great guide in Daniel and he was very passionate about his city. There is lots of walking involved although it was done at a good pace for everyone.
Ramses was our tour guide , driver was Isaac. Ramses explained every site patiently and in detail. He was very warm, helpful and was very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him and this tour.
Joaquin was very knowledgeable and it was a very relaxing tour. The driver Gaudi appeared to know his way around
Enjoyable walking tour. Our guide "Nacho" was very friendly and knowledgeable. The "snack" was a large cheese empanada that was tasty. Be prepared for many flights of stairs.
Thank you Ramses for being a fantastic tour guide. He is knowledgeable, enthusiastic and energetic. We managed to cover many key attractions of Santiago in a short period of time. Highly recommended!
This is a great tour if the thought of a 10 hour day tour makes you feel sad...we had the pleasure of Steph showing us around, she was knowledgeable, witty and very engaging. Would recommend this tour to anyone that wants a taster of Santiago.
Really excellent tour. Superb knowledgable guides. Thanks to Fran and Julio. Learnt so much about Santiago / Chile and saw so much. Thanks Fran for all the interesting stories and answering all my questions. The historic centre was a real highlight. The bus was also always on time - clean and of a high standard. Also loved the walking tour-was great to have the city experience. The Chilean treats at the end were also a really nice touch. Would highly recommend. Muchas Gracias!!
Great tour and great guide and driver! Julio and Joaquin were really a treasure: helpful, available, knowledgeable and fun. Super recommended!
I book this tour on get your guide . I must say it was nice experience .i saw many beautiful places and felt the vibes of city . Stephanie was a great guide she knows a lot of history of Chile. And of course Oscar was the best driver . He was gentlemen )
Our guide Stephanie was very knowledgeable about the city and its history and pointed out places we’d never have found on our own. Then we drove to a modern market and had really good empanadas for lunch! Stephanie gave us lots suggestions for sights, restaurants and bars to visit on our own.
Wonderful experience of highlights of Santiago! Tephi is so knowledgeable and such good company, and the small group made for a relaxed and rewarding morning. Definitely recommend - Thank you Tephi and Rodrigo!
Great way to get your bearings in the city. ‘Nacho’ the tour guide was informative and experienced and visited a variety of places. Roberto the driver managed to drop us near all the sites and made the trip flow smoothly 😊Thank you both
Fabulous tour & really informative. Our guide Nacho was so great & spoke perfect English too & had a wealth of knowledge to share with us.
Guide Nacho and driver Robert are fantastic- give great descriptions way beyond my expectations. Do this trip and your would not disappoint
We experienced a great walking tour with Nacho. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. A very active tour sharing much information as well as an empanada!
We had an amazing tour of Santiago. Nacho was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He showed us so many interesting aspects of his city!
The tour company was detailed in their instructions and our guide was early. Nacho was knowledgeable and fun and took lots of great photos for us.
Loved the Santiago Half-Day Walking Tour! Started a bit late because guide was sick but Pablo (2nd guide) came to the rescue and couldn't recommend the tour enough! Pablo was very friendly, very knowledgeable and shown us lots of main little spots that we enjoyed going to and he peaks really well English too! We finished at one of the shopping centre where he treated us with their famous Empanada and drink. Lovely experience for me and my 2 friends. We recommended the tour to our other friends who arrived in Santiago later on the week. Highly recommend it ! Thank you Pablo (and Victor the driver!)
Fantastic tour and great insight in to Santiago. Antonio spoke excellent English and knew so much information about the history of Santiago. It was a walking tour but we did drive between locations which enabled us to see so much more. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone.
This tour was excellent value for money. I enjoyed it immensely. Our guide Antonio took us through an incredibly in depth history of Santiago and Chile in only 5 hours. We visited so many beautiful natural parks and significant buildings and places. The tour was organised in a very logical and easy to follow way. The walking pace was perfect. No rushing from on place to another. Antonio made sure we were always together. He was very diligent. Plenty of time to absorb the history and take photographs. Antonio explained everything clearly and with passion, and answered all of our questions. I love architecture and history and nature, so this tour was perfect for me. I enjoyed everything, including the food. The timing as also perfect for people with only a couple of days in this fascinating city. Thank you. I took many photos but have not added any because when I tried, everything froze.
If you are keen to both immerse into the history and savour the tastes and aromas of Santiago the half day tour of Santiago is a great introduction. Francisca guided us not only through the Santiago past but also to the current sensory heights of the fish markets and food hall.
A very interesting tour of key points around Santiago: Cerro de Santa Lucia, Neptune’s Fountain, MGAM Arts Centre, Plaza de Armas, former Palace de Congress, new presidential palace, MUT shopping centre - underground food hall - cheese empañadas - an excellent 5hours - walking and mini bus. Stephanie ( Stephanie) was an excellent guide.
Francisca was very knowledgeable on all aspects of Santiago including sites, history and many anecdotes. We were very impressed with her and the places we were taken.
Very good. provide more info about Chile history
Nacho was the perfect tour guide and Juan was a very good driver. We had a blast on this tour and learned a lot.
We had an amazing time touring with Stephanie! She is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the local history and culture, which made the experience so engaging. She is friendly, flexible, and tailored the day to our specific interests. We learned so much and had a wonderful time—highly recommend requesting her!
I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. If you’re looking for more than just ticking off landmarks and actually want to understand Santiago, this is the one. A huge part of that is down to our guide, Nacho. His knowledge of the city is exceptional, but more than that, he brings it to life in a way that feels natural and engaging rather than scripted. You get history, culture, politics, and architecture - all woven together in a way that makes the city make sense. It genuinely felt like we were seeing Santiago through a local’s eyes. There were so many standout moments. The visit to the sustainable food court was a brilliant touch - something I’d never have found on my own and a great insight into modern Chilean culture. The cathedral was stunning, and the city-wide views from above really put everything into perspective. At one point, we even stumbled across a political rally, which added a completely unexpected and fascinating layer to the experience. Also worth mentioning Mati, our driver, who made everything run smoothly and comfortably behind the scenes. It all felt very well organised without ever feeling rigid. What I appreciated most is that this tour doesn’t feel like a checklist. It feels like an introduction to the soul of the city. If it’s your first time in Santiago, do this early in your trip - it will completely change how you experience everything that follows.
Nacho and Juan give us a fantastic tour
The communication prior to the tour regarding pick up and time was fantastic. Stephanie (guide) and Alex (driver) arrived at the appointed time and we were warmly welcomed. The bus was very comfortable and clean, Stephanie clearly articulated what we would be doing for the duration of the tour. The information provided was very good and also provided some other quirky facts about places in Santiago during the tour. Stephanie was very hospitable and happily answered questions on just about every topic the group thought of. We toured the sights, Stephanie provided all the details of the location and we had plenty of time to take in each location without being rushed. Alex was always ready and waiting for us at the next pick up after we had walked the sights. Noting the walking distance was easy for all levels of fitness. Without Stephanie’s local knowledge we would have never gone to the underground markets as we had not seen this in any tourist information. This is where we had snacks and refreshments which were local delicacies. The tour was fantastic with Stephanie and Alex making this a enjoyable and memorable tour of Santiago giving us a great start to our stay in the city.
This was a good trip and I felt worth the price. Eduardo was a good guide, there was plenty of time to see what I wanted to see.
I had a great experience with guide nacho and driver jorge. Nacho speaks excellent english and was very helpful and knowledgeable about santiago. Would definitely recommend this experience for everybody who want to know about Santiago de Chile.
It's a great way to see many sights in Santiago. The guide, Eduardo, was great and knowledgeable about the city. Make sure you have your walking shoes! In my opinion this is not a tour for those with trouble walking or handling steps/stairs.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was well organised. I was collected and dropped off at my hotel which made it so easy. Sofia was an excellent tour guide and it gave me a great overview of life, past and present in Santiago.
I would rate our guide Nacho as one of the best guides (if not THE best) we have had anywhere in the world over 12 years of serious traveling. His ability to relate to all people on our tour (3 different nationalities) and his subject knowledge was first rate. Perfect English and a calm, unhurried, tour. I was originally concerned with it being a walking tour due to my wife's walking difficulties, but when she could not get off the 16-seater minivan to walk about, our wonderful driver Luis took her around and pointed out all the sights - she couldn't speak Spanish and he couldn't speak English, but she had a wow of a time! The tour was exactly as advertised, with a bit of unexpected extras. It was the explanations by Nacho which made the difference between a good tour and a great tour. We left our hotel at 7.30 am and were dropped off at 1 pm. I could not fault this tour - we saw so much and learnt so much about Chile, its history and its culture. Well done Stamp's Tour, Nacho and Luis - highly recommended.
I enjoyed the tour of the city. It is worth the time to go and learn more about Santiago.
The traffic was crazy but they did a great job being flexible and diverting today’s agenda to make sure we still had a full experience. The stop for a local snack and drink was awesome and as an extra bonus, our guide even purchased a mote con huesillo for the entire group! Thank you Stephanie and Roberto.
Sofí was great. Very knowledgeable of the area and shows you a great time. Would recommend!
