    Fun excursion in Santiago!

    We had a wonderful day spending tom to see all the historic spots in downtown Santiago. Julio was very very knowledgeable in history and background on the city. It was wonderful. He drop us off at an attraction and then go to park the car, we really appreciated this courtesy due to my husband's foot issue. His recommendation in Bella Vista was charming and delicious. We were almost tempted to skip the winery tour, but we are very glad we didn't. The winery was historic and we loved touring the sellers and the wine was tasty. Overall a great excursion into Santiago.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed exploring Santiago with Julio and appreciated his knowledge and attentiveness. It’s great to hear that the winery visit was a highlight as well. We appreciate your feedback and wish you many more wonderful travels!

    Terrible Experience - all museums and sites were closed - Tripadvisor did not refund

    The Tour description was completely inaccurate. The Santiago city tour was only walking around and driving around. Nome of the museums and sites listed in the description were open!!! They were all closed!!!! I requested a 50% refund and was denied. I will never book a tour with Tripadvisor again and I will inform my social circle about this fraudulent experience. As I am an Influencer the word will quickly spread.

    Excellent tour

    One word: great! They were sorry that we had to star with the winery and finish with the city tour, but it was perfect like this! Excellent driver and excellent guide!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! We’re glad to hear you had a great experience, and we're happy the tour worked out perfectly for you.

    Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group cost?

    +

    Prices start at $200 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 Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group 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 Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group?

    +

    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 Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group?

    +

    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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group 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 Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group?

    +

    Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Wine tour and tasting; Professional Speaking English Guide/Driver; and Transport by air-conditioned minivan. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 251 listed pickup locations in and around Santiago. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. 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 Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group?

    +

    Is Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Wine Tour and Santiago City in a Small Group if the weather is bad?

    +
