Travel from Santiago to Valparaiso and Viña del Mar with a driver-guide such as Rafael, Christopher, Romina, or Carol. Expect Pacific views, Valparaiso hills, street art, an optional elevator ride, chicha tasting, Reñaca beach time, and a real Easter Island moai.

“Guide was friendly and knowledgable with excellent English. I was unhappy with the structure of the tour - the driver wasted a lot of time with long stops. Given that it was mostly a walking tour and the driver didn't have much to do and the drive was just 90 minutes each way this didn't make sense. Also the guide was stubborn and wouldn't accommodate our request to go to the Neruda house and spend less time walking around or even drive by Neruda's house which I asked to do multiple times.”
