“Alex is a wonderful tour guide and we loved getting to know Valparaiso. At first glance this city feels a little grungy, but it really grows on you the more you explore and the higher up you get on the hillsides. The whole city is bursting with color and beautiful street art. Alex really shows you the highlights of what makes this such a special city, and you even get to go down a slide and ride a funicular up the hillside. 100% recommend this tour.”

Walk from Quinta Normal to Concha y Toro with a local guide such as MJ or Pedro.

The 3 pm tour ends near República Metro and suits anyone wanting Santiago beyond its standard sights.

“Enjoyed hearing the inside story to many of the places we visited. The area appeared vibrant and energetic. It was delightful to see the many murals, the architecture, the charm of the alleys and streets, the various establishments that continue to operate and thrive such as the french beauty salon, the sandwich shop, the polish family home converted to a restaurant, the cat alley and the professor’s house. Most of all our guide was knowledgeable, affable and interesting and we certainly learned from discussions related to the human rights museum.”
