This was a walking tour which covered the highlights of downtown Santiago. It involves quite a bit of walking, as well as climbing to the top of Cerro Santa Lucia or the Santa Lucia Hill. Our guide, Maycken, did a fantastic job and I'd strongly recommend him to anyone.
David was very accommodating with our schedule and very knowledgeable. He asked us about our interest and made sure we saw what we wanted to see. He has a great personality, speaks very good English and has a great sense of humor.
Santiago is a beautiful city and this tour hits a number of the major historical and cultural sights. Also traversed a few of the more interesting neighborhoods. David did an excellent job of explaining the sites along with tying in with what was happening in Santiago at the time. Excellent guide made this an excellent tour which I thoroughly enjoyed. Armed me with great overview to dog deeper on my own that afternoon and next morning
The excellent tourist guide 👌 I recommend the tour give you a good explanation of all the history and places to eat and go to club.
David, our guide, was a great source of knowledge with many stories to tell. 3 hr tour turned into nearly 6 hours as we toured some less known places. Lunch with a local trying classic Chilean food is a great way to go. Highly recommend.
