    NON-RECOGNITION COSTA FAVOLOSA

    NEW YEAR CRUISE COAST FAVOLOSA NOT recommended, unfortunately from the year stopped to this its quality has declined considerably, meals, cabins, staff It's a cruise ship that leaves a big city, Buenos Aires, speaks Spanish 90% of the ship's staff have no idea they speak Spanish or English, so they can say another language. Staterooms lack maintenance in their entirety Meals leave a lot to be desired for anything that is eye-catching for an end-of-year holiday In the dining rooms you are assigned the staff has a number of tables to attend to that surpasses the human being is a tremendous exploitation, the Metres treat their staff very badly. To be served something to drink at the tables you must wait too long, dishes come cold to the table If the boat management really cared about the travelers, they should fix the staffing problem at the tables. In the bars you order a drink and they give you something totally different to those you order since they do not strive to understand the language either Spanish or English To tell if you know a citrus called LIMON anywhere, that's an unknown case on the boat. in general I DO NOT RECOMMEND COSTA CRUISES COSTA FAVOLOSA

    Huge disappointment

    I booked this tour as it included Vina Del Mar. all was going great at the winery and in Valparaiso. The tour guide was great. The visit to Vina Del Mar was announced at the beginning. We notified the guide the cruise embarkation was delayed by 2 hrs, which played in our favor. After visiting Valparaiso, we hopped in the minivan anticipating visit to Vina Del Mar. But after 15 minutes of driving it became apparent we are going to the port. A couple of people in the group of 9 decided they must be on the ship at 2:30 pm. Others were not asked, not notified, it was not discussed. We were rushed to the port per request of two people. They had no rights to dictate their wish and shorten the tour by one hour. The guide should at least ask opinion of all members of the group.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased you enjoyed parts of the tour, including the winery and Valparaíso. For clarity, the drop-off to the port was completed at the scheduled time, as planned for the entire group. We appreciate your input and will consider it to improve communication in the future.

    A great day of experiencing Chile.

    This was such a great tour as it not only provided us a great experience in seeing the high lites of Valparaiso it also offered us a great wine tasting of Chile wines. It was also a great way to travel from Santiago to our cruise ship. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, James, for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour, from exploring the highlights of Valparaíso to the wine tasting in Casablanca. Our goal is to provide a seamless and enjoyable experience, especially for travelers heading to their cruise. We hope you had an amazing journey and that you visit Chile again in the future!

    Felt like a very private...

    Felt like a very private tour since we had only one other friendly couple in our 4 passenger car. Leo was very nice, friendly and flexible

    Delightful tour taking us from Santiago to our cruise ship

    Our guide (nicknamed Nacho) did an outstanding job. He was a fount of knowledge, and made a point of sharing special views (such as the Rodin sculpture standing in the center of an informal marketplace around the corner from the Fonck Museum). He and the driver re-arranged the itinerary in real time to minimize the time spent in traffic. The balance of time driving and walking was excellent. He was very sensitive to your participants’ needs, and looked after us very well. He was a very stimulating and amusing guide.

    Santiago to Cruise Port via Valparaíso, Viña & Casablanca (Max 4): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Santiago to Cruise Port via Valparaíso, Viña & Casablanca (Max 4) 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 to Cruise Port via Valparaíso, Viña & Casablanca (Max 4) take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 to Cruise Port via Valparaíso, Viña & Casablanca (Max 4) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 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 to Cruise Port via Valparaíso, Viña & Casablanca (Max 4)?

    +

    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 to Cruise Port via Valparaíso, Viña & Casablanca (Max 4) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Santiago to Cruise Port via Valparaíso, Viña & Casablanca (Max 4)?

    +

    Around 3 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Santiago to Cruise Port via Valparaíso, Viña & Casablanca (Max 4) 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 to Cruise Port via Valparaíso, Viña & Casablanca (Max 4)?

    +

    Included: Luggage space; Funicular ride in Valparaiso; Pick-up in Santiago and drop off in San Antonio or Valparaiso cruise port; Alcoholic beverages; and Walking tour of Valparaiso. Not included: Lunch; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Santiago to Cruise Port via Valparaíso, Viña & Casablanca (Max 4)?
