Excellent tour operator
We had a wonderful private tour with Hector seeing the sights in Santiago and surrounds. I have no hesitation recommending him and his company to you. You won't regret it!

Awesome
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.

wonderful day in 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

A wonderful introduction to the history, architecture and culture of Santiago.

An excellent 2 day tour of Santiago and the Casablanca wine region
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.
