    Unfortunately, this food...

    Unfortunately, this food tour did not live up to the price. The tour was significantly more expensive than other food tours we’ve done, and we expected a much more memorable and substantial experience for the cost. While the guide was pleasant and the food was enjoyable, the overall experience did not feel worth what we paid. The amount of food, variety, and overall experience simply didn’t justify the very high price of a private tour. We’ve taken several food tours and genuinely enjoy exploring food through local guides, but this one left us feeling that we paid a premium without receiving a comparable level of value. At this price point, we expected something more exceptional. Overall, it was an okay experience, but far too expensive for what was provided. I would have a hard time recommending it at the current price.

    Response from the operator: Dear Christy, we are terribly sorry that you didn’t enjoy the tour as you expected. One of our goals as a small, boutique tour operator is to make a difference and provide personalized experiences for our clients, that they will remember for years. We are glad that you enjoy your time with Alvaro and Juan Enrique, and you enjoy the food on the markets and other places you visited, where you sampled most of the traditional local favorites. And we are very sorry that the price was the part that you felt it didn’t stand to the experience you received. We will take this very seriously so nobody feels disappointed again. Thank you again for choosing us to experience a bit of Chilean Cuisine and markets.

    Wow! What a food market!...

    Wow! What a food market! Incredible! Guide and driver both very knowledgeable. Took me to local places and had great food. The fruits and vegetables were huge, cheap and crazy tasty! It was the perfect 1/2 day tour. If you're looking for something more than just a city tour....this is an excellent option!

    Food of Chile

    We had a great time with Valentina and Alejando. Everything ran smooth and on time. The tour of the food market was very interesting and the restaurant was very good. Food was delicious!

    Checking out the local markets and food.

    We had the best time seeing Santiago with Pablo. It was an easy meeting location. We really enjoyed learning about the markets and trying what the locals enjoy to eat. It was a great kickoff to our time in South America. Pablo even had a few surprises for us. Thank you for the tips for the subway!!! I still cannot believe the size of the fruits and veggies.

    Santiago Culinary adventure, eat and drink like a local!: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Santiago Culinary adventure, eat and drink like a local! cost?

    +

    Prices start at $220 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 Culinary adventure, eat and drink like a local! 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 Santiago Culinary adventure, eat and drink like a local! worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 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 Santiago Culinary adventure, eat and drink like a local!?

    +

    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 Culinary adventure, eat and drink like a local! 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 Santiago Culinary adventure, eat and drink like a local!?

    +

    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 Santiago Culinary adventure, eat and drink like a local! 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 Santiago Culinary adventure, eat and drink like a local!?
