    Informative, secure, tour with a great lunch

    Overall the tour was nice. The best part was our time in metro park and the neighboring park and the cable car. Perfect morning for it. The tour was informative though at times a bit much of standing in one place in the sun to discuss history. Our guide gave an amazing recommendation for lunch. I would’ve liked if Keith or someone reached out to us in advance on options for the day and timing. Other tours have done that and then expectations are aligned.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Your support means a lot to our team, and we’re delighted you enjoyed your time with us.

    I cannot recommend Explore Chile Tours for English speakers.

    I cannot recommend this tour company (Explore Chile Tours) for English-speaking tourists. We spent 10 days in Chile (Santiago, San Pedro de Atacama, Punta , and absolutely loved the country, sights, and people, but the communication from the company was lacking and the hotels they put us in in two of the locations were so far outside town that we had to arrange transportation. They switched 2 (of 4) hotels on us and while they did send a separate document showing those hotels before our final payment, they didn't update the itinerary that they sent us to reflect that, so we went to the wrong (very nice) hotel before realizing that we were in fact booked at a place way outside of town (San Pedro de Atacama). While there seemed to be tours that would have been in English, our group tours were generally in Spanish, and if we were lucky one of the guides would fill us in briefly in English. Our tour guide for the private Santiago tour (Alexis) was just learning English and really didn't seem to know all that much about Santiago - he was googling a lot. There were additional disappointments, but also overall the trip was good, so 3/5 rating (a "C" - I'm a teacher). Again, this company might be great for Spanish-speakers, but I would not recommend them to English-speaking tourists if you're doing more than going on a wine-tasting day trip.

    Response from the operator: Hi Mathew, We are sorry to hear about the inconveniences during your trip. Unfortunately there was not many hotel options during those dates. We are glad to hear that you were able to enjoy Chile in spite of small inconveniences.

    Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Santiago City: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.

    How much does Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Santiago City cost?

    +

    Prices start at $400 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 Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Santiago City take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Santiago City worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2 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 Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Santiago City?

    +

    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 Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Santiago City suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Santiago City?

    +

    Around 1 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Santiago City 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 Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Santiago City?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Bottled water; and Licensed Tour Guide. Not included: Food. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Santiago City include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Santiago.

    What languages is Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Santiago City 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.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Santiago City?

    +

    Is Full-Day Private Guided Tour in Santiago City wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
