Fab walking tour - Ivan is a highly knowledgable guide who shares his love of Santiago in a professional and entertaining manner. His explanations of artistic installations is good and he led us through the political history associated with the buildings of the tour, in a balanced and insightful manner. We liked the integration of the refreshment stops as part of an introduction to the food culture here and his insights on the fusion of Peruvian/ Japanese cuisine in Chile were very impressive!!

Amazing amazing experience! - I really enjoyed my tour with Ivan. It felt like I was walking a new country with a lifelong friend. Laughters and drinks were shared and knowledge was impacted. If I come back to Chile, I definitely would seek him out again just to be buy him a big bottle of beer for his hard work during our tour.

Great, leisurely walk around the city - I enjoyed my tour with Ivan. His knowledge and passion for the city made it feel like a friend was guiding me through the landmarks & neighborhoods of Santiago. The experience felt more like a relaxing stroll than a hurried walking tour. Highly recommended!

A Perfect Blend in Santiago... - Because of poor planning, I found myself at the last minute looking for a tour of Santiago. Lucky for me, SantiagoBlendTours had a space open. The guide, Ivan, was exceptional. Firstly and most importantly, he knows his stuff... history, validity of Santiago myths, little known secrets, architecture, and the culture of every neighborhood. Don't tell him, but I didn't want it to end because he also tells some of the funniest stories. Lol Just an amazing 4 hour walking tour! One day I have to come back with friends so they too can experience Ivan and this amazing tour.

I loved it. - I loved Ivan’s tour, you can see that he makes his passion his job. He is very knowledgeable not only about the themes and places related to the tour, but also connects everything with a little general culture and a lot of humor. Special for those who like history or for those who want to do tourism in Santiago in an entertaining and original way.

Must do guided tour - What an amazing guided tour. Ivan is well informed and welcoming. The tour takes you around the Santiago downtown area and I got to visit unknown barrios that I would never visited unless Ivan had shown me. Ivan takes in consideration if you need a place to rest and recharge (food/drink/shade) and then keep going on the tour.
