Fun day touring - Tour was great and guide made the day for us. Very flexible on start and end times and what we wanted to see. Tour was catered to our interests and our pace, and more importantly what we wanted to eat and drink. Van ride was comfortable and stocked with water. Great experience visiting both places.

Excellent Santiago city tour! - We had a great day seeing the sights in Santiago with Hector. His command of English is excellent and his knowledge about Chile and its capital city is extensive. He is kind and personable and we recommend him highly.

Carole's great adventure - Great trip, Francisca was knowledgeable, entertaining, and an excellent comunicater. She knew the history, the politics and the details. She could talk about anything you asked her and was also interested in you. I highly recommend her for a day, or half day tour of Santiago.

A 5 Star full-day tour - HecTours gave us a tremendous, personal tour. Plenty of walking and stories about Santiago, which we loved. They tailor the trip to your personal likes. 5 Stars all the way. They were very responsive and engaging. We would recommend HecTours to anyone who wants to have a fun tour of Santiago or the surrounding areas where they offer tours

Very informative tour! - This was a very interesting and informative day. Francisca is a historian and was able to share in a way that enabled us to more deeply understand Chile's struggles and triumphs. She is also warm and funny and willing to share personal stories. We were fortunate enough to spend the following day with her on a tour of Valparaíso and Viña del Mar. That tour had a different focus including so much spectacular art and was also really good. Paola was our driver both days and made us feel safe at all times. We highly recommend both of these experiences with Hectours and the Francisca / Paola team.

We saw the many sites and ate typical Chilean food. Maria was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Santiago. - A great way to see Santiago we saw the main government buildings, plazas and parks. The central open market was interesting we ate at a fancy restaurant. Maria was very entertaining.
