Great introduction to Santiago! Jennie was knowledgeable and personable. In the 5 hours we saw many different parts of the city and learned a lot of its history. A highlight was the cable card ride. It was wonderful to have our own driver and guide for the 4 of us traveling together.

This was a private tour for 2 people, with a tour guide and driver. Our guide was very knowledgeable and flexible, and asked about our interests before beginning the tour. She customized it to our objectives and schedule, taking us to key sites that represented Santiago and provided insights into the culture and life of the city. Of special interest were tours of the markets, which gave us a greater taste for the life of the local people of the city and not just tourist attractions. Our driver was very safe and we felt comfortable at all times.
