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.

Alberto S.

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.

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

“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
