Amazing tour, amazing guide amazing driver! You will not go wrong with this
We requested Christian for our second tour in Chili since he did such an outstanding job on our first one. And we are so happy we did. We feel like friends now and he is a gracious, kind and knowledgeable guide. If we ever had the opportunity again I would request him.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! We're so glad to hear that your experience with Cristian was the best! Thank you so much for choosing our agency for a second tour.

Unforgettable experience in the Andes.
The views and the places in general we went to were amazing and unforgettable. I highly recommend doing this tour. The price though is a bit high as it is mainly a "taxi" service with some information from the guide and a wine tasting session. The guide was really nice, flexible, approachable.

Drive to Portillo
We had a beautiful day for the long drive to Portillo. Julio was an excellent guide. The hotel and setting are beautiful. The restaurant does not offer a full menu until noon, but the wine list was excellent, and the food was good and reasonably priced. My only complaint would be concerning the winery. We received very little service and there was no one there. The setting, however, is beautiful at Errazariz. if I did the tour again, I would definitely pick one with more wineries. The company to their credit communicated well, and even though we were the only couple on the tour, they honored their commitment. we thank them for that.

Andes Portillo driving tour
I thought the trip would be different. I didn't realize that there would be so much driving. Once we arrived, we had great views of the lake and canyon. The winery was very nice. Just too much driving for this old guy's liking. The driver was courteous and professional

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Andes Portillo & Aconcagua wine tour semi private: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Andes Portillo & Aconcagua wine tour semi private cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santiago usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Andes Portillo & Aconcagua wine tour semi private take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santiago is not rushed.
Is Andes Portillo & Aconcagua wine tour semi private worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 48 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Andes Portillo & Aconcagua wine tour semi private?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Andes Portillo & Aconcagua wine tour semi private suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Andes Portillo & Aconcagua wine tour semi private?
+
Around 17 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santiago can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santiago and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Andes Portillo & Aconcagua wine tour semi private start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santiago within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santiago?
+
On Outty we rank every Santiago experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Maipo Valley Wine Tour with 4 vineyards from Santiago., Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Santiago: Valparaiso, Viña del Mar & Casablanca Wine Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santiago?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santiago?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
