Important message from the supplier
I specialize in tailor-made experiences designed specifically for each traveler. While I do not have fixed schedule restrictions, certain tours — especially outdoor, adventure, or sports-based experiences — require additional preparation time to ensure safety, quality, and a truly meaningful experience. For these types of tours, I kindly request a minimum of 4–5 days’ notice.
I am available to guide experiences any day of the week, throughout the year, depending on weather conditions and the nature of the activity. If your tour takes place outside the Santiago Metropolitan Region or in another region of Chile, I am happy to guide you as well; in these cases, transportation costs for the guide may apply and will always be communicated clearly in advance.
My approach goes beyond simply guiding: I curate each experience with care, local insight, and deep knowledge of the territory. Whether you are looking for nature, gastronomy, culture, wine, or adventure, my goal is to create an authentic, well-paced, and enriching journey that reflects the real Chile — adapted to your interests, travel style, and timing.
Feel free to reach out with your ideas or questions. I’ll be happy to help design an experience that truly fits what you are looking for.

About Tour Guide Esteban G.
Hello! My name is Esteban, and I am someone that love his country!
I specialize in private, curated experiences that combine nature, culture, gastronomy, and adventure, always adapted to the interests, pace, and expectations of each traveler. Rather than following rigid itineraries, I work closely with my guests to create meaningful journeys that feel personal, immersive, and well-balanced.
My background is deeply connected to Chilean territory. I have spent years exploring the country from the Pacific coast to the Andes, working with local producers, small-scale communities, and trusted collaborators. This allows me to offer experiences that go beyond the highlights and into the stories, landscapes, and flavors that define Chile.
Whether you are interested in scenic day trips, outdoor adventures, wine and gastronomy, or multi-day explorations, my goal is to help you understand and experience Chile, not just visit it.
