Mauricio was fabulous! One of us has mobility limitations and Mauricio provided options and took great care of us. We wished we had booked him for our next tour, but it’s already paid for. Highly recommended!
Thank you very much Rich! It was a real pleasure helping you to see better our beautiful city! All the best for you!
Maurisio (owner operator) met us at the port terminal after disambarking Viking Jupiter at Valparaiso. He was very friendly and sincere. He has a friendly inclusive nature and we felt very safe. Maaurisio's commentary was excellent and he was very easy to understand. The tour of Santiago was awesome. We stopped for short walks, explanations and photo opportunities. His knowledge of Chilean history was superb. We were able to ask questions and by the end of the tour we had a good understanding of Chile and it's people. We had a real feeling for the place. Maurisio joined us for lunch which we thoroughly enjoyed. We would highly recommend this tour. It was great value. The tour was over 6 hours. It was so much easier than trying to get to the sights on our own. We certainly got great value from this tour.
Thank you very much Elizabeth for your kind appreciation! Was a pleasure to have help you to know more about our country! All the best for you!
We had pleasure of having Mauricio as our guide. He ensured our safety by taking photos of us with his phone and sharing them with us. He was accommodating. His English was perfect.
Thank you very much Donna! All the best for you!
Tour guide Mauricio was professional, cordial, and spoke fluent English. The transfer van pickup at the Valparaiso cruise ship terminal was smooth. We had a 4+ hour tour of Santiago, partly driving, and partly walking. It felt complete and well balanced. At the end, we were dropped at our Santiago hotel
Thank you very much for your such a kind review Martin! It was a real pleasure to have met you! Best regards!
Mauricio was very friendly and knowledgeable. He communicated clearly before the pick up and arrived promptly. The tour was informative and friendly.
Tour operator did not show. Would not answer texts and phone number for company rang with no answer. Waited over an hour- ended up taking uber to Santiago. Complete waste of of the day. I do not recommend this tour operator. Very undependable.
Our group of 6 were greeted at the cruise port by Francisco who did a great job of securing our luggage for our day of touring. We drove to Valparaiso enjoying the sites and great commentary which introduced us to this beautiful area. We would never have been able to enjoy the street art without Fransico's help and he made excellent recommendations for lunch and refreshments at places with fantastic views .we ended our day with drop off at our hotel in Santiago. The next morning we were picked up by Mauricio who again did a fantastic day of showing us the highlights of this beautiful city with a great mix of city, parks and monuments. He introduced us to a refreshing drink of Barley/rehydrated peaches and then a great lunch at a typical Chilian restaurant before our airport dropoff . We enjoyed 2 wonderful days with these fantastic guides who are passionate for their jobs and with a great sense of humour.. Great memories of a Great trip, thank you
Dear Garry, thank you so much for your words, we are extremely happy for having the chance to show you the best our country! It was a real pleasure to spend sometime with you too. All the best and hope to see you again soon!
Mauricio of Central Valley Tours is excellent guide. Very knowledgeable about the history of Santiago. We went to a lot places in one day. The funicular, the museum, the Carhedral, Winery and Art walled graffiti had a sumptuous Chilean lunch too!. After our tour, He even took us all the way to the airport to check-in. Will book tour again with him if we ever go back to Chile .I highly recommend Mauricio to friends and family.
Thank you dear Angelina! I was a real pleasure to help you to get to know better our country! Hope to see you again soon in Chile! Best regards!
Mauricio was an awesome guide, friendly and flexible for our wishes for the tour. He picked us up from the cruise terminal in Valparaiso and gave us a very interesting tour through Vina del Mar and Valparaiso with a lot of interesting stories about the cities and Chile. Then he drove us to Santiago. Would book him any time again 😀!
We were looking for a reasonably priced tour to kill some time after disembarking our cruise ship in Valparaiso and taking a late flight home from Santiago. Most tours offered were quite expensive. Mauricio's tour solved the problem. First of all, he is very prompt in responding to inquiries and his English is excellent. We were picked up in his mini van on time (only couple he had) and he gave us a nice narrative about his country and the city of Santiago. I would have liked some time in the Casablanca wine area as well but that would have increased the cost. A plus was seeing the changing of the guard in front of the Presidental Palace. We wound up back at our airport hotel near 2pm which gave us a chance to nap and freshen up before our flight. Be aware that drop offs at airport hotels are an additional $30 total as the airport is quite distant from downtown Santiago. I would definitely consider Mauricio and Central Valley Tours for any sightseeing arrangements in the area.
