Great tour of Valparaiso...
Great tour of Valparaiso and Viña Del Mar, tour and guide (Vincent) much appreciated and saw all the areas of interest
via Viator
Wonderful !
Vincent was a fantastic tour guide! The tour was so great. Would definitely use him again! Do this tour or any tour he does!!
via Tripadvisor
Very pleasant day
Vincent was a very nice and professional guide. He was punctual, picked us up at our hotel in Santiago and showed us the highlights of Vina del Mar region and Valparaiso. He explained the main sites and answered to all our questions. We left the hotel in Santiago around 9:30 AM and returned to the hotel around 6:00 PM — so, although it took most of the day, it wasn’t exhausting at all. And Valparaiso is a very impressive city. It definitely worth a visit or even a stay for a longer time. And Vina Del Mar, Renaca and Concon are beautiful places.

Viña Del Mar and Valparaiso tour
This was a great tour! Having a driver and tour guide allowed us to get out and enjoy both Viña Del Mar and Valparaiso! Vincent was an awesome guide! We learned so much about each area all while enjoying the beauty of both! Valparaiso has so many hidden gems and it was so fun to experience the UNESCO area! The shops, restaurants, funiculars, street art…all so vibrant! Make sure you ask Vincent to show you the slides and enjoy sliding down right in the city areas!! Definitely a must see and do tour!

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Valparaíso & Viña del Mar Day Tour & Coastal Highlights from STGO: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Valparaíso & Viña del Mar Day Tour & Coastal Highlights from STGO cost?
+
Prices start at $225 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 Valparaíso & Viña del Mar Day Tour & Coastal Highlights from STGO 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 Valparaíso & Viña del Mar Day Tour & Coastal Highlights from STGO worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 Valparaíso & Viña del Mar Day Tour & Coastal Highlights from STGO?
+
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 Valparaíso & Viña del Mar Day Tour & Coastal Highlights from STGO suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Valparaíso & Viña del Mar Day Tour & Coastal Highlights from STGO?
+
Around 8 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 Valparaíso & Viña del Mar Day Tour & Coastal Highlights from STGO 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 Valparaíso & Viña del Mar Day Tour & Coastal Highlights from STGO?
+
Included: Private transportation; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Valparaíso & Viña del Mar Day Tour & Coastal Highlights from STGO include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 323 listed pickup locations in and around Santiago. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Valparaíso & Viña del Mar Day Tour & Coastal Highlights from STGO offered in?
+
It is offered in English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
