Great tour, I can only recommend to anyone - Esteban, our guide was super friendly and could tell something about each building. He showed us very interesting shops and art in Valparaíso. He also told a lot of stories and historical stories about Valparaíso. He showed us corners of the city we would never have found on our own

An excellent guide! - The guide was exceptional! She even accommodated us for our meeting point because we had just arrived from the airport!
She introduced us to the fish market with merchants and fishermen! It was completely authentic. She introduced us to the city and its history in one day. She brought us to the best restaurant to enjoy the best ceviche!
For us, this visit made us understand the culture of the city and its history.
I recommend this tour for culture, history and gastronomy.
Thank you,iii

Absolutely worth doing! - This is a fantastic way to spend a day in Valparaiso. Our guide, Christian, was terrific. He was born and raised in the neighborhoods we explored on foot giving us unique perspective. The excursion is about 7 hours but included a long break for lunch at a great but reasonably priced restaurant. We covered a lot of ground on foot and various forms of public transportation. Total steps walked was about 7,500 ( 3.5 miles) but not strenuous. The street art was fascinating. Highly recommend this tour of you want to experience the essential Valparaiso up close. Do it! You won’t regret it

Great tour experience! - What a fabulous day with Cristian on our Valpo in One Day tour of Valparaiso. We couldn’t have asked for a more fun and exciting day seeing the sights in the city. The fish market and street art were our favorites but we saw a lot of things with great explanations! ! We took a funicular, trolley, small bus and train to see everything. Highly recommend this tour!

Fun day in Valpo - We were locals for the day in Valparaiso! Wide buses, trains, funiculars, trolleys to navigate this beautiful art filled town. Christian is a local who loves sharing his city. He was so kind, considerate knowledgeable. Fun stops for traditional food and drinks! Highly recommend.

We do recommend - Our cruise ship was late into the Port by approximately 4 hours yet our guide Pablo assured us he would be waiting for us when the ship would finally arrive - and he was. Took us on an informative walking tour of Valparaiso. Well spoken and well versed on the the local sites and customs. If you are visiting Valparaiso then I recommend you use Pablo as your guide.
