“Wonderful time in Santiago! ”
Maricel was the perfect guide! After picking us up at an unearthly hour in the morning, she organised a half day packed with the best sights of Santiago. We ended our tour with lunch at a lovely vineyard before drop-off at our cruise ship. We had an awesome time in Santiago... Thanks Thomas and Maricel!

“Fabulous tour with Julio ( Julio was our guide not Thomas)”
I highly recommend Julio Private Tours. Julio worked closely with my husband and me to give us the perfect Santiago City Tour. Among other things we saw Cerro Santa Lucia, Cerro San Cristobal, La Moneda, Plaza de Armas and the Metropolitan Catholic Church. He made all our stops run very smoothly particularly at San Cristobal. Here Julio got us advance tickets and snagged the best viewing spots for both our up and down trips on the funicular. Knowing I love handicrafts Julio took us to Los Dominicos. My husband loves museums so Julio showed us the National Museum providing English translation of the exhibits. We had a fabulous lunch in the Lastarria district.Julio is very personable and extremely knowledgeable about Chilean history, culture and politics.He was not afraid to show us the good and bad parts of Santiago to give us a fuller view. He even gave us more than a couple of hours extra of his time so I could shop at Los Dominicos. A very generous thing to do. A tour with Julio is like visiting special places with a very good friend. He really made our trip!
