Franck T.
Hi, my name is Frank. I’m 34 years old. I’ve been living in Santiago for seven years and a half. And I have a beautiful daughter of 11 months of birth. I love the city and I can show you how to fall in love of Chile. Join me to an amazing adventure

Pablo D.
Hi everyone ! This is Pablo , I’m a passionate traveler, storyteller, and local guide originally from Chile. With a professional background in environmental sciences and over 15 years of life on the road, I’ve lived in places like Australia and explored cultures across the globe, from the U.S. to Brazil. But wherever I go, I carry a deep love for my roots, my culture, and the stories that make each corner of Chile so uniquely vibrant. Today, I dedicate myself to what I love most: connecting with people and sharing unforgettable experiences through personalized, authentic tours. For me, guiding isn’t just about showing places, it’s about making you feel at home, creating trust, and truly understanding what travelers need to feel safe, inspired, and excited along the way. That’s where I stand apart: empathy is my compass. I’m deeply passionate about Chilean wine, traditional food, and local crafts and I bring that love into every experience I create. The places I’ll show you aren’t just beautiful , they come alive through a local lens, full of flavor, history, and genuine connection.

Catalina here! Local TourGuide of Valparaíso and Viña del Mar :) I came to Valparaíso more than 6 years ago and I fell in love with this place. I just love the intricate stairs, the hidden corners and colorful alleys.. its endless magic, its art community, its legacy and its resilience; the culture, the people, the port. Viña del Mar, our twin City: close sisters with very different souls. Viña is a beautiful Garden City, with nice beaches and restaurants, a lovely boardcoast, parks and nature, shops and old treasures around. Now I walk all over both cities sharing them with the world, and hoping you have a nice time and get to connect with this uniques cities in Latinoamerica. The tours I offer are flexible in many ways and they can be tailored to your needs or interests. So If you have questions or doubts just ask and share your ideas or worries. A little about myself! I studied Ecotourism. I love to walk, love nature, animals, and nice adventures. I also love hot chocolate, interesting conversations and creating things with my hands. I hope we can meet!

Hi, I’m Alberto. I’m a certified driver-guide from Chile, passionate about landscapes—urban, coastal, and mountainous. I work with a comfortable SUV, ideal for exploring backroads, scenic valleys, or hillside vineyards with ease. I enjoy guiding travelers through places where nature and culture meet: a colorful neighborhood with history in every wall, a winding road through the Andes, or a quiet vineyard where the light hits just right. Fluent in English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish, I create tours that are personal, flexible, and grounded in local knowledge. Let’s explore together.

What is the best way to tour Chile?
Given Chile’s overwhelming size and varying terrain, touring looks different depending on where you are. In Santiago, walking and riding the metro and the bus is the best way. If you’re in the Atacama or more remote regions, a private car or long distance bus will get you where you need to be. Trekking and hiking is popular in the Patagonia region, but supervision is required at certain points.
If you’re trying to plan a roadmap for touring Chile, talk to a local Chilean guide about your transport options.
