• 5It was an excellent day. ...

  It was an excellent day. The pickup at the cruise port was easy with the guide holding up a sign with our name. The drive through the cities/countryside was educational and informal. Nice stop for lunch.

• 2Delayed Tour

  The info on the tour requested we leave the ship and be at the van by 8 am . Of the 16 people on the cruise only 12 were there on time however we ended up waiting for the 4 other folks for 2 hours and finally left the dock for the tour after 10 am. The first part of the tour was interrupted by a city marathon race by the ocean. Block roads meant we missed location to visit. The driver and guide were good though and I would just suggest that if the van is going to wait up to 2 hours for guests that this be clearly stated in the advertisement.

• 1Tour ruined

  Our tour guide Stephanie was excellent. So was Jorge, our driver. But we had to wait two hours to start the tour. Two families arrived two hours late. The people in the tour didn't speak spanish so I spoke to Stephanie if there was anything they could do. A number started calling my wife's phone and it was Jaime, the owner. He insulted her and didn't let her say two sentences. She was in tears. The trip was ruined. If you book this tour be prepared to wait 2 hours.

• 5Great tour! Valparaiso, Casablanca and quick overview of Santiago

  Julio was an amazing guide! Excellent information on the area, tailored the tour to adjust for weather, closures (on a Sunday), and suggested additional stops within our timeframe. Needed to get from our cruise to our hotel in Santiago and this was perfect. Highly recommend this tour!

About Valparaíso

Valparaíso is Chile's Pacific port, a city of brightly painted houses and old funiculars climbing steep hills above a curved bay.

The historic quarter of Valparaíso, a World Heritage Site, is spread over dozens of hills that fall steeply to the sea. Houses in every colour cling to the slopes, walls are covered in murals, and old funiculars known as ascensores still carry passengers between the port and the hilltops. Cerro Alegre and Cerro Concepción are the best known of the hills, with cafés, galleries and lookouts over the bay.

Top-ranked sights in Valparaíso: Plaza Sotomayor, Cerro Concepcion, Ascensor El Peral.
