I was the only one booked...
I was the only one booked on to this tour but an alternative option was made available to go to a winery and the oldest Ski Centre in South America. I was delighted as it was still the Andes. The driver and guide were excellent. Delighted with the day.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re very happy that you enjoyed the alternative itinerary and had the opportunity to experience the Andes, visit a winery, and discover one of South America’s historic ski centres. We’re also glad to hear that our driver and guide made your day enjoyable. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you again in Chile!

Lovely tour!
This experience was lovely. They were on time to pick me up from my hotel. The pre-tour communication was excellent. Alvaro was an excellent guide and Alenjandro was an excellent driver. I enjoyed the tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review 😊 We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the experience and appreciated the punctual pickup and communication before the tour. Álvaro and Alejandro will be delighted to know you valued their work and professionalism. We hope to see you again soon!

Good trip but not worth for a full day.
good experience but I feel the cost is more for transport than tour guide or the view. Not much snow on the top of the mountain and it is just a 30min walk around the dam. Then the chocolate house was more a stop for ice cream and 3min photo for the building. Coming back around 3pm annd don’t understand why it needs a full day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback 😊 We understand your comments regarding the timing and pace of the tour. We aim to offer a balanced experience, but some passengers prefer to take more time at each stop, which is why the schedule is planned this way. We truly appreciate your observations and hope you still enjoyed the overall experience.

They canceled on us at the last minute
Two nights before we got a second confirmation. The next day we were flying to Santiago. At 830am they sent an email that they didn’t have enough for the trip but had an alternate trip. We got off the plane at noon and I replied yes. Then at 5pm I was told that i had responded too late and they had canceled us and refunded the tour. We were left with nothing!! And all trips were booked. Terrible customer service!
Response from the operator: We would like to clearly clarify the situation. The original tour was officially canceled, and this information was communicated at 8:30 am, early in the day. At that same time, an alternative tour option was offered, with the clear indication that it was subject to availability. We did not receive a response until later in the afternoon, at which point the alternative tour was already fully booked and no longer available. Given this, we immediately offered two clear solutions: rescheduling for another date or a full refund, which was processed accordingly. While we understand that changes to travel plans can be frustrating, we acted promptly, communicated early, and provided all possible alternatives within the available time frame. We appreciate your understanding and remain committed to providing clear communication and fair solutions to our passengers. Kind regards, GO 2 CHILE Team

Inca Lagoon with Wine tasting
This was honestly one of the best experiences of my life! The tour guide was an expert, got us to multiple stops all within the timeframe, and made sure we had plenty of food, water, and bathroom breaks. There were others in my group that were nice. The beauty of the lagoon is truly stunning, and they pick you up right outside your hotel which is nice in foreign country. I would 100% do this again, thank you again for the experience!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an amazing experience and enjoyed the lagoon, the stops, and the convenience of the pickup. We’d love to welcome you again anytime! 😊

Cajon Del Maipo Including Wine with Picnic and Empanada: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Cajon Del Maipo Including Wine with Picnic and Empanada cost?
+
Prices start at $99 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 Cajon Del Maipo Including Wine with Picnic and Empanada 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 Cajon Del Maipo Including Wine with Picnic and Empanada worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 618 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cajon Del Maipo Including Wine with Picnic and Empanada?
+
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 Cajon Del Maipo Including Wine with Picnic and Empanada 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 Cajon Del Maipo Including Wine with Picnic and Empanada?
+
Around 216 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 Cajon Del Maipo Including Wine with Picnic and Empanada 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 Region: 4 Wineries, Tastings & Foodie Tour, Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Tour to Valparaíso, Viña del Mar, Pablo Neruda Museum and Vineyard. 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.
What is included in Cajon Del Maipo Including Wine with Picnic and Empanada?
+
Included: Profesional Guide; Local Empanada; Chilean Wine; Transport by air-conditioned vehicle; and Hotel pickup and drop-off from Santiago. Not included: Gratuities; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Cajon Del Maipo Including Wine with Picnic and Empanada include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 247 listed pickup locations in and around Santiago. Be ready about 45 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Cajon Del Maipo Including Wine with Picnic and Empanada offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
