    Great tour *****

    Jose was a great guide. He took us around to all of the City sites. We especially enjoyed Cerro San Cristobal, taking the gondola up and the funicular down. Then off to lunch we at the market:) The seafood restaurant was fabulous. Unfortunately, we had to cut the tour short because we were leaving for the airport or I’m sure we would’ve had the opportunity to shop more and see more sites! We highly recommend

    Wonderful day with Jose

    We has a wonderful day with Jose. Very nice lunch and coffee stops included and lots of great stops. His English was excellent and he clearly wanted to do everything he could to make our tour a great experience for us.

    You’ll love this tour - we did !

    Our guide, Jose, met us at our hotel (very much appreciated) to begin our tour. We took the subway (fare included) to a beautiful artisanal market. Everything here was hand made. While my wife was shopping her little heart out, Jose and I enjoyed a coffee and snacks (included). After the market we visited Castillo Hildago district which was very picturesque. Great views of the city, then a walk through the gardens and onto an area with an Instagram worthy fountain photo. From here we went to the Mercado Central. The market was vibrant and full of smells to excite the senses. We stayed in the area for an excellent lunch and drinks at El Galeon restaurant. We chose our meal (included) from the expansive menu. We had empanadas as appetizers and for the main course, I had swordfish, my wife had a shrimp dish. The restaurant owner and the staff made us fell very welcome. The meal was excellent. After lunch , it was downtown Santiago - we went to cathedrals, government buildings, museums - we saw a lot. Along the way, Jose NEVER rushed us. We had plenty of time to browse, take pictures, stop for water breaks etc. Jose seems to know everyone. Many times people stopped him in the street to say hello and hug. EVERY time someone stopped , they said what a great guy Jose was. Our full day tour CONFIRMS it. Jose was a great tour guide.

    City tour of Santiago

    Great way to see the city and learn the history . We did a lot of walking but it was not too much. The subway helped and of course the weather was excellent.

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

    How much does Santiago city experience: Walking tour, Market visit, Lunch & Coffee included cost?

    +

    Prices start at $144 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 Santiago city experience: Walking tour, Market visit, Lunch & Coffee included take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Santiago city experience: Walking tour, Market visit, Lunch & Coffee included worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 33 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 Santiago city experience: Walking tour, Market visit, Lunch & Coffee included?

    +

    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 Santiago city experience: Walking tour, Market visit, Lunch & Coffee included suitable for kids and families?

    +

    +

    Around 12 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Santiago city experience: Walking tour, Market visit, Lunch & Coffee included start and how do I get there?

    +

    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?

    +
