I work as a tour guide on a full-time basis. On Mondays I let museums rest, but I keep visiting wineries. I studied tourism, and I have been a guide for several Santiago districts and museums. I have lived in other countries, and I would love to show you my city and my country the way it should be.

I can also be helpful in other special interests you may have because I am a professional bartender, and I have worked as a business executive for several multinationals. You will never be bored on my tours!!

About Tour Guide Raul A.

I studied tourism, and I have been a tour guide for several districts of Santiago and several museums in the past. I am passionate about history and wines. I am also a professional bartender. I have lived in New Zealand and France and recently conquered my 48th visited country (and I'm going for more). I worked for several years as a business executive for several multinationals, so I can be helpful in understanding the country and the economics.

I love what I do, and I would love to show you my country the way I would like to visit it.
