A Memorable Experience!
Fantastic tour with Julio as our driver and guide. Julio made the day informative and very enjoyable, his knowledge and passion for Chile and the Santiago region is infectious. The sights we saw and the explanations given about them were interesting. In Valparaiso, the street art is amazing, and he pointed out the differences in the artists approaches in different areas of the city. There were only 2 of us and we didn't feel rushed at all. The winery we ended up at was Emiliana and the wines were very good. They also had Llamas that you could see. All in all, a wonderful day! Thank you for making this such a memorable experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your Valparaíso Private Tour with Wine Tasting from Santiago and that Julio’s knowledge and approach made the day both interesting and easygoing. It’s great to know you had time to explore Valparaíso at your own pace and also enjoyed the winery visit in Casablanca Valley. We appreciate you choosing our tour.

He took us to all the places we wanted to see, and some that we didnt even know about that were great surprises.

Valparaiso Private Tour with Wine Tasting from Santiago: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santiago.
How much does Valparaiso Private Tour with Wine Tasting from Santiago cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 Valparaiso Private Tour with Wine Tasting from Santiago 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 Valparaiso Private Tour with Wine Tasting from Santiago worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 18 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 Valparaiso Private Tour with Wine Tasting from Santiago?
+
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 Valparaiso Private Tour with Wine Tasting from Santiago suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Valparaiso Private Tour with Wine Tasting from Santiago?
+
Around 6 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 Valparaiso Private Tour with Wine Tasting from Santiago 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 Tour with 4 vineyards from Santiago., Valparaiso Port and Viña del Mar with Casablanca Wine Tasting, Santiago: Valparaiso, Viña del Mar & Casablanca Wine Tour. 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.
