What you'll see and do
Cerro San Cristobal
Although it’s probably on all of the Top 5 tourist sites of Santiago, Cerro San Cristóbal is not overrated in the least. This big hill in the middle of the city affords one of the most incredible Santiago panoramas available. Every time I head up, my knowledge of the city has increased, and thus I am able to point out more landmarks, distinguish different sectors, etc. For those unfamiliar to Santiago, the view from up here will let you orient the city in its surroundings: the Andes Mountains and the Cordillera de la Costa.

No night life to experience during summer months
I would like to clarify we are taking this tour during the summer months, the sun goes down at 9 pm. And the last cable car from San Cristóbal Hill, comes down at 7:20 pm, so there was no night life to appreciate. So we toured the city in car, there was no time for stops, as the dinner show at Bali Hai starts at 8 pm. This show was a perfect way to appreciate part of the Chilean and Easter Island cultures.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind feedback. 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

Do not take this trip.
First of all the driver did not not speak English as advertised. He would pass use his phone which had a "script" typed into it. He seemed to be driving all over town and constantly doubling back. When we asked to get out of the car to see San Cristobal Hill he drove off.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We'll look into your case so this doesn't happen again, we're very sorry about the inconvenience. We'll work hard to be better in the future. MTO Tour Team

Nightlife with a safe feeling!
While in Santiago, we wanted to see the night life and the pulsating city with a nice dinner. Since we werent sure about the safety of the city in the night, we bought this tour to have a easier experience, and we dont regret! The sightseeing was really nice and the dinner was excellent. The folkore dance was interresting, the kids enjoyed a lot!
Response from the operator: Dear Mato27, Thank you for your feedback on your experience. Do not hesitate to contact us the next time you plan on visiting Chile, it will be a pleasure to welcome you once again. See you soon! Best regards, Maria from Mtotour

I feel cheated!
We knew when we booked this tour that we would not be able to see the city’s night view as the pick up time was 6:30pm ( they changed from 5:30pm ) and the sun doesn’t set till past 8:15pm. though in the tour description they say we would enjoy panoramic view of the city at night. MRO say professional guide and live commentary on board are included but what we got was a driver who just drove us to Cristobal Hill and took us to the ticket counter to pay for our return cable car tickets. It was not a lot of money but in the tour description they say admission to Cristobal Hill and private service- tour inside Cristobal Hill are included. The driver just told us to buy cable car tickets, ride up on our own and come back down by 7:30pm as we needed to arrive at the dinner place by 8pm. We had about 25 minutes up on the hill before he took us to the dinner place. He then dropped us off at our hotel after dinner. There was no panoramic tour on downtown or admission to Parque Metropolitano de Santiago they said would include in the tour. Not sure if the recent unrest calls for a change of itinerary but the driver never mentioned it to us or took us to any alternative attractions. Though the dinner show was very good but charging us Cad175 plus tax per person for a drive to Cristobal Hill and dinner is a huge rip off! The driver did chat with us but he was not giving us any professional guide as MTO claim in the tour description. I JUST FEEL CHEATED.

Magical Evening
This was an excellent tour of the city, with special focus on Cerro San Cristobal. The tour guides gave a personalized and informative tour and were very conscious about timing our visit to the centerpiece of the city so that we climbed the hill at sunset. They drove us up most of the way and then we walked from there up to the glorious statue of Mary and magnificent views of the city at sunset with the snow-topped mountains in a pink haze and the Costanera building as a gleaming spire. They gave us a wonderful and fascinating overview of the main city sites as we drove to our restaurant, “Bali Hai”, where we had a folkloric dance performance from different areas of Chile, as well as a delicious meal. All in all, it was the perfect preview of Chile and the guides were very knowledgeable.

Private Night City Tour with San Cristobal Hill And Dinner Show: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Private Night City Tour with San Cristobal Hill And Dinner Show cost?
+
Prices start at $181 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 Night City Tour with San Cristobal Hill And Dinner Show take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Night City Tour with San Cristobal Hill And Dinner Show worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 5 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 Night City Tour with San Cristobal Hill And Dinner Show?
+
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 Night City Tour with San Cristobal Hill And Dinner Show suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Night City Tour with San Cristobal Hill And Dinner Show?
+
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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Night City Tour with San Cristobal Hill And Dinner Show 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.
