Valparaiso Private Tours &amp; Local Tour Guides

I fell in love with the country and… one of her habitants. I am passionate about the country’s culture, history and gorgeous landscapes. This passion is what my colleagues and I want to share with you, visitors from all over the world, when we show you around. And when we plan an itinerary for you, we do it just as if it was for myself or for my friends. This is our commitment to you: that my team and I will guide you with the same enthusiast than if we were good friends.

I was born, grew up and I´ve been living here for along all of my life, except some time when I travel around. I am very knowledgeable in my area. I know my own country and city´s history and culture. Every Tour I give is Very Personal, Private, Leisurely and 100% Flexible. I have a lot of experience with different kind of Tourists from different part of the world like seniors, professionals, students, handicap, middle age and teenagers people for city, adventure, trekking, nocturnal , wineries tours, business and search purposes, etc. I definitely try to surpass tourists expectations giving you the “Best Chilean Hospitality” If I do this for a living, It’s because I am a Professional Tour Guide, whose my primary concern is to provide a unique travel experience to every single Customer making them, through my person, taste a bit of my country´s culture, folklore, customs, food, living style, sceneries and much more. I state you that I am totally responsible for your happiness and safety meanwhile you are in my care. My role is critical in your satisfaction tour and business needs. I am passionate and well known in every tour and information I provide, but, I am not perfect. if I don´t know the answer about some of your questions, I will be forthright about saying so and I will make an effort to get the answer before the end of the tour. But, if the answer is hard to get it... For sure, you will receive it in a few days later by e-mail. Please note that I also count with a Very Specialized Tour Guide Team. Each one has same and/or similar characteristics described above. Some of them will attend you if I had reserved myself by somebody else before or in case of illness, emergency or accident or any family problems. After reading these very sincere words I hope we let´s rock and roll together in this wonderful land by Santiago, Valparaiso, Vineyards, Coast, Country sides, Up at the Andes Mountains Range, Patagonia, Puerto Montt, etc., etc., etc. It will be a Real Pleasure to have you, family and friends as a “VERY SPECIAL CLIENT “ As somebody said…. “When in Chile….

Hello and welcome! Thank you for taking the time checking my profile & exploring Chile. I was born and raised in Concepción, one of the rainiest cities in Southern Chile. I hold a B.A. in Communications and Journalism, as well as a Higher Education Diploma in Tourism Management and Sustainability. Becoming a tour guide was a natural choice for me, as I believe that communication is key to building a more understanding and connected world. My passion lies in sharing Chile’s rich history, culture, and stunning landscapes with visitors from around the globe. In my 20s, after graduating from college, I spent seven years traveling and working abroad in the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. While those experiences were enriching, I knew it was time to return home, where I felt a deep calling to showcase Chile’s wonders to international visitors. I take great pride in my role as a tour guide, serving as an ambassador for foreign travelers and offering them an authentic glimpse of this beautiful country. With over a decade of experience in the hospitality and tourism industry, both in Chile and abroad, I’ve had the privilege of working in Michelin-starred restaurants and world-class retreat properties. I’ve guided over 20,000 people across Chile and South America, and I haven’t lost a single one yet! I’m passionate about literature, the performing arts, photography, and nature, and I bring that enthusiasm into every tour I lead. Whether it’s discussing history, architecture, politics, art, or economics, I love sharing my knowledge and insights with travelers.

“Vincent was a outstanding tour guide.”

After a long unexpected delay getting off the cruise ship, we were so grateful our guide Vincent waited over six hours for us to start our tour. He still managed to give us a in-depth tour of Valparaiso along with the wine valleys before dropping us off at our hotel in Santiago. He was very kind to give up his time for us. He has an amazing passion and history knowledge to introduce guest to his hometown and beyond. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Vincent. John P. Hiers (Vermont, USA)

Thank you John for your kind review. Vincent and I both appreciate it! It's been a challenging day to say the least! Take care, Thomas
