Walk into Santiago's heart with a local guide who turns four centuries of collapse and reconstruction into the story behind every dish you taste. Over three hours and six stops, you'll go from the historic downtown to the heritage streets of Lastarria, tasting Indigenous corn, Spanish stews, the red, white and green of a Completo Italiano hot dog, German cheese, and a French grape once presumed extinct. Your guide knows which counter makes the best Completo Italiano, reads the market like a regular, and explains why Chile gave a hot dog its own national holiday, how a lost Bordeaux variety hid in these valleys for a century before becoming the country's calling card, and why the Plaza de Armas was built for defense long before beauty. This is a Food Tours experience, so a Secret Dish is waiting too, revealed only on the day and served with a pisco sour, holding the heart of Santiago's cooking in a single course.

    Pablo is awesome.

    Pablo was awesome. He is, most importantly, a great guy, but he also has a deep knowledge of the food, culture and city and is passionate about his country. Worth the price of admission just to hang with him. The tour is fine, but Pablo makes you feel like you’re part of Santiago, at least for the day.

    Response from the operator: It was a pleasure spending part of your day with you. Thanks for choosing Secret Food Tours and sharing your feedback with the team!

    Santiago: Lastarria Food Tour with 5 Tastings and Ice Cream: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Santiago: Lastarria Food Tour with 5 Tastings and Ice Cream cost?

    +

    Prices start at $71 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: Lastarria Food Tour with 5 Tastings and Ice Cream take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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: Lastarria Food Tour with 5 Tastings and Ice Cream worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Santiago, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Santiago: Lastarria Food Tour with 5 Tastings and Ice Cream?

    +

    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: Lastarria Food Tour with 5 Tastings and Ice Cream suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Santiago: Lastarria Food Tour with 5 Tastings and Ice Cream?

    +

    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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Santiago: Lastarria Food Tour with 5 Tastings and Ice Cream 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: Lastarria Food Tour with 5 Tastings and Ice Cream?

    +

    Included: Chilean wine (choice of red or white); Fresh Peach Juice; Pastel de Choclo; Queso Valdivia; and Artisanal Ice Cream. Not included: Guide's Gratities; and Pick-up & Drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Santiago: Lastarria Food Tour with 5 Tastings and Ice Cream?

    +

    The tour beings at Santo Domingo Church. Our guide will be waiting for you with an orange umbrella for easy recognition. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Santiago: Lastarria Food Tour with 5 Tastings and Ice Cream offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. 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 Santiago: Lastarria Food Tour with 5 Tastings and Ice Cream?

    +

    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 Santiago: Lastarria Food Tour with 5 Tastings and Ice Cream 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.
