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.

“Never saw Matias”
experience worth while and we would do it again at a lower fee
Matias S.
Hi David, Thank you for your review. As we mentioned before your trip, we are a team of expert guides. I was very clear that I will not be present before you made your purchase. We are delighted that you had a great experience with our guides. We designed a highly customized private tour for you, including airport pickup in Santiago, a vineyard visit with shopping, a buggy ride, a cellar tour, wine tasting, and drop-off at the cruise port on the other side of the country. Providing high-quality, premium experiences comes with significant costs, and our profit margin for your trip was actually quite low due to the expenses involved and the necessary fees we must cover. We take pride in paying fair prices to our providers to ensure the best possible service. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again in the future. Best regards, Matias

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.
