    Memorable day!

    Our guide, Alex, was terrific. He showed us all over town and drove us to the winery, and he made us feel very comfortable, tending to our needs for a rest, food, etc. Santiago is a very cool city, but as you'll see, it is covered with graffiti, which can be a little unnerving and make you unsure as to which area is safe or not. As we entered a small park area in a main square, he said, "Ok you two. Stay VERY CLOSE to me. This is not safe here. Many pickpockets." This was very helpful, and the whole day was a great adventure. He gave us options for seeing different parts of the town. We learned a ton and want to come back again. Thank you!

    The worst travel in Santiago.

    This travel was the worst and never worth to the money paid. The only good thing was the guide was good and kind even though he was not expert in guide. The travel agency seemed they didn't care about the guests at all. I got contact information at 9:30 PM one day before travel. And the guide didn't know what kind of program was included in my bookings. The travel explanation said this includes "old town tour like plaza armas, Santa Lucia, San Cristbal, Sky Costanera, Concha y Toro and other programs with admission ticket included" But the guide, who didn't get any information about my booking from travel agency, brought us only Concha y Toro, old town and Sky Costanera !!!! And he even didn't know my booking includes lunch.... I did this travel in the 1st day of Santiago trip and this was totally horrible. (FYI, Concha y Toro and Sky Costanera is worth to go but don't go with this travel agency) I made another booking to visit Santa Lucia and San Christobal with other travel agency. This is a totally waste of money and I want to request refund at least 50% of paid expenses.

    Long Drive

    The long drive to CONCHA Y TORO made us all tired. コンチャイトロまでは高速道路を使わず時間がかかったので疲れた。 Lunch time is too long. ランチタイムが長すぎた。

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your comment, Hiroshi, it helps us be better. Don't hesitate to contact us the next time you or your friends want to come to live another gratifying experience in one of our tours. Best regards, MTO Tour Team

    Private Full-Day Santiago Experience with Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Full-Day Santiago Experience with Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $325 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 Private Full-Day Santiago Experience with Lunch 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 Private Full-Day Santiago Experience with Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 6 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 Private Full-Day Santiago Experience with Lunch?

    +

    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 Private Full-Day Santiago Experience with Lunch 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 Private Full-Day Santiago Experience with Lunch?

    +

    Around 2 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 Private Full-Day Santiago Experience with Lunch 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 Private Full-Day Santiago Experience with Lunch?

    +

    Included: Includes Costanera Ski Ticket - Highest Viewpoint of Sudamerica; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Winery option tour between Concha Y Toro, Santa Rita or Undurraga winery, 3-wine tasting i; Private tour; and Professional guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 156 listed pickup locations in and around Santiago. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Full-Day Santiago Experience with Lunch 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 Private Full-Day Santiago Experience with Lunch?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Private Full-Day Santiago Experience with Lunch 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.

    What happens to Private Full-Day Santiago Experience with Lunch if the weather is bad?

    +
