This was one of our favorite tours we ever did. The route was perfect from taking the gondola up to the hills to see the city from up high and then ride the scooter back. We covered many amazing places and learned a lot about the city.. Maca was an amazing tour guide! She is very nice, polite, and knowledgeable of the city. She shared many interesting history facts. We liked that she offered few minuter at couple of interesring places for us to explpre on our own. Overall 12 out of 10!
This tour is well organized, starting with a good electric scooter tutorial followed by a wonderful cable car ride up to the summit. Maca is a thoughtful guide making sure we were getting on and off the cable car fine with the heavy scooter. She explained things well in fluent English. Good guide and company throughout the whole time. The tour never felt rushed and proceeded at a relaxed pace. Riding the scooter down the hill was fun. Just a reminder. If you take the tour during summer time, you will not see the sunset. This is understandable and expected. Highly recommended.
What an amazing afternoon, a great way to enjoy San Cristóbal park and take in the stunning views of Santiago and the Andes. Maca our guide has amazing patience as I was a first time scooterer! We went over all the features over the scooter and had a practice before taking the cable car to the top. We enjoyed stunning views of the city and mountains taking time to stop off for lots of photo opportunities. We made our way down at my pace led by Maca, it is a traffic free zone (some maintenance vehicles) so no dicing with the traffic. We took time out-to see the mountain swimming pool, open in the summer, former observatory and Japanese Garden as well as enjoy the varied flora and fauna of the park. Maca allowed us the opportunity to enjoy the local sculptures at the river side park and the Catholic University, School of Architecture Building an historical Chilean heritage building. Thank you Maca for your patience and informative tour of another great side of Santiago. Another great way to enjoy the city. I would not hesitate in any way to recommend Maca. Thank you.
My scooter tour with Maca was wonderful -- everything I expected and more! Maca was very knowledgeable and fun to tour with. She has a love and passion for Chile that comes through with her descriptions and stories. And a scooter is a great way to see Santiago -- especially San Cristibal Hill! 5 stars for Maca!!
I really enjoyed this tour with Maca. She is funny and very knowledgeable about her city. To discover Santiago on electric scooters is brilliant, you can avoid hiking up and down on San Cristobar hills. Even though I have never ridden on electric scooters only took a few minutes to get used to it. Maca explained me the local history and culture, also made me try the traditional sweets. And one more thing i have to mention, there was no other booking that day, only me. Normally other tour get cancelled if there is not enough participants, but not this one. Maca came only for me and made it like a private tour. I cant tell how much I appreciate this.
Macaroni and her assistant were the perfect hosts. Scooters were easy to ride on and good fun. Our tour through the hill and through the forest gave some wonderful views of santiago . Mararenas commentary on the city and the history really helped understand all we were seeing. Photos were taken by them during the trip and shared without us asking. Overall the perfect experience and we sat talking at the end of the trip for so long we almost forgot to leave. The level of English with some of the people we came across could vary but these guys had perfect English. Thanks again to Macarena and her assistant for the perfect trip.
To start off, we were late. As it turned out, we were the only ones that day. Maca took her time getting us familiar with the scooter's functions. We spent most of the time scooting around the cable car area. Actually, we took the scooters on the cable car to the top of the hill. Great view! Then we drove down to the bottom. We were a little shaky initially but got the hang of it. Then, back to where we started, thank goodness, just a short trip in real traffic. Maca has a lot of patience and even dropped us off at our hotel
I took the nature and urbanism tour with two friends from Sydney. We transported the scooters on the cable car and began the adventure, stopping at several hidden viewpoints where Macarena shared the history of the city, its buildings, and neighborhoods. Then we explored other parks in the eastern part of the capital. The scooters are cool and safe, and we rode exclusively on designated bike lanes. This allowed us to explore and discover the city in a free and dynamic way. Highly recommended. A must while in Santiago! It’s truly the perfect combination of nature and city.
Our tour was so much fun! Maca did a great job teaching us about Santiago - we learned something at every stop. The views were amazing! One of our group was struggling to learn to ride the scooter and Maca was so patient with her and somehow turned her into a pro in just a few minutes. Highly recommend this tour!!

Nice trip to the hills near Los Dominicos in Santiago de Chile. Beautiful sights, history and arts! Our tour guido Macarena is a nice person, very kind and patient enough to wait for us some minutes passed the appointment time. Very recommended!
It was such wonderful and informative tour of the Metropolitan Park and the Pedro de Valdivia Norte neighborhood below. Maca speaks perfect English and was an excellent guide. She makes you see the city from a different perspective. The route is really well thought out, and the different stops allow you to see the city from all sides. At sunset, it’s perfect. I’d do the tour again in a heartbeat.
All excellent! Well organized, all well explained and also the guide very friendly and concerned. Don't miss it! I recommend it in closed eyes
El recorrido por el Cerro San Cristóbal estuvo lleno de vistas hermosas, perfectas para tomar muchas fotos. El teleférico fue uno de mis momentos favoritos, con panorámicas espectaculares de la ciudad. Totalmente recomendado para quienes quieran disfrutar Santiago de una manera diferente y muy entretenida.
We loved the experience! We took the cable cars and walked down on the electric scooters. We were able to see the sunset from the top of the hill. It was truly magical. Macarena proudly and passionately shared with us the history of the hill and of Santiago. He proposed challenges and treated us to some local snacks that we couldn't help but try. Super super recommended!!!
The Macarena is very cool, has plenty of patience with the kids, I highly recommend the tour (with or without children), we love it very much, it is very worth it, the skates are amazing
The walk was amazing! First there was a flexibility in the start time, by Macarena, due to our flight. Communication was very easy and agile. The tour was very pleasant, from the cable car, to see the sunset, the sun setting and the lighted view of the city. Afterwards, we still visit a park that is nearby. Super recommend!
Beautiful tour, Macarena an exceptional guide, with a lot of charisma, warmth and knowledge. The incredible views and do it in super fun skateboard. Highly recommended!
The views of Santiago were wonderful, I learned a lot of things about Cerro San Cristobal that I had no idea about, always living in Santiago. Macarena and Loreto, the guides, were great entertaining and informative. Also the equipment is high quality, I felt very safe from the first moment, even without previous experience! It was amazing, I would really repeat it and I recommend it to everyone who wants to enjoy a walk without getting exhausted by the Hill.
Tremendous Experience, from scooters you can see with other eyes these beautiful places. In addition Maca our guide was very professional explaining the different points of santiago always with joy and enthusiasm! was very grateful for the exquisite mote with bones of the end!
I totally recommend this experience, a different alternative to getting to know an iconic hill of the Capital and with a different plus that is on a scooter, totally personalized! I loved it because it mixes adventure and history. It was my first time riding a scooter and after 5 minutes you already mastered it. Macarena, excellent guide, adapts to the rhythm and is also bilingual 😍 thank you very much! A complete experience!
We did this tour with a friend and it truly exceeded all our expectations, it was an incredible tour, we learned a lot and it was a very entertaining way to get to know Cerro San Cristobal and its history, if you are in Pedro de Valdivia I highly recommend it! They won't regret it. Thanks to the guide, Maca, who was always looking out for us :)
Everything was very entertaining, the guide was very friendly, he knows a lot about the subject. 100% recommended and very willing to go at everyone's pace.
