Our guide was very knowledgable and passionate on explaining the history of the city, it's culture and people. We went to the city park, downtown, cable car, Neruda museum and finally at El Galeon, the seafood restaurant before flying back home. The guide planned the trip meticulously so we could spend sufficient time at each locations.
The tour guide did a great job showing us the highlights of Santiago.
Hector was wonderful. Met us a bit later as our flight was late, then we went to the city centre. We visited many of the buildings and areas of interest. He was very aware of our need for walking no more than 30mins and worked the tour so we missed nothing. Great day

This was a fabulous way to see Santiago. Our tour guide was incredibly flexible and knowledgeable enabling us to learn a lot about the history, architecture and culture of Santiago in a short time. We were able to include things that we wanted to include. I thoroughly recommend HecTours
We used HecTour for a day trip in Santiago, Chile and a day trip to the wine region of Casablanca to the west of Santiago. I would highly recommend this company. The driver/guide was very punctual, professional and a very good driver. He guided us around the various historical areas of Santiago explaining in very good english, the history and significance of the different sites. He tailored the sites and itinerary according to what we wanted to see, we appreciated the flexibility . He selected 3 vineyards each quite different specializing in slightly different products. I would not hesitate using their services again in the future.
We did a six hour city tour in Santiago with Carol as our guide. The tour was very well organised, Carol is very knowledgeable, and we learned a lot about the history of Chile and Santiago
We had the very best day. Our tour guide Juan Muñoz was fabulous, he paid very close attention to our needs. It was a fabulous day.
What was to be a half-day tour turned into a full day tour on our way back to the airport. HecTour was very flexible and in tune with what type of things we would like to see. The tour was custom made for us. Our luggage was safe in the Mercedes van. Our guide's English was perfect. We learned about Santiago's history from current day to the past. Stopping at many points of interest. We enjoyed walking around Cerro Santa Lucia as well as many other places. Not only did we learn some history, but we learned about and experienced some of the culture as well. Communication prior to the trip was excellent and timely. Communication during our stay was excellent as well. Highly recommend!
