Valparaiso Tours and Holidays

This is an excellent company. Jaimie ended up customizing a fit for purpose tour for me. This was important as I am on the wheelchair. This really helped make our stay in Chile enjoyable after some initial confusion. I highly recommend Jaimie. He customized tours according to your needs. Especially those on the wheelchair Jaimie will go out of his way to make sure you have what you need and personally directs the tour.

Our guide shared a lot of information about the places we went to, and about Chile in general. One thing I found less interesting though was the finicular ride at Valparaiso. We lined up for 20 minutes or so, only to get in a 30-second ride, and we enjoyed a nice view for only about 10 seconds.

We had Emanuael as our guide and he is a member of this family owned tour. We were picked up right on time and only had one other stop to pick up another couple and we were off to the coast with lots of useful information. First stop was Valparaiso and then Vina del Mar. In both cases we did an intro drive through town and then a walking tour of some of the more interesting parts of the city including a funicular ride and walk around Concepcin which was very interesting. In Vina del Mar we stopped for lunch and then at a few of the beaches and to see the birds and sea lions. On the way back we stopped at Vina INDOMITA in the Casablanca valley on the way home. At all times Emanuel explained what we were seeing and asked about how we would like to spend our time. We were returned to our hotels promptly and very much enjoyed our entire day. This company's prices seemed VERY reasonable for semi-private tours compared to other companies and dealing with them was very simple and informative from start to finish.

Great trip organised by the team! From the first moment, the team has been very responsive to our emails and the way the tour was setup exceeded our expectations. The help from the experience manager was very crucial in many circumstances (best example was that she organised to have a purse delivered from Argentina to Chile!!).

My wife and I were picked up at our hotel in Santiago promptly. After collecting 6 other people, we were first taken to a winery where we given the option to join a wine tasting session (my wife and I opted out). Then on we went around Via del Mar making several stops along the way for photo ops. We were then taken to a wonderful restaurant in Valparaiso with great view and excellent food. After lunch, we were taken on a walking tour of the streets of Valparaiso with its vibrant street art. Our guides Vanessa and Patrick were excellent. The tour felt felt very casual and un-rushed (in fact I'm pretty sure we exceed the number of hours stated in the tour promo). Unlike other tours where schedules are quite rigid and by the numbers, this tour felt more like a day out with friends showing you around. Vanessa made us feel at ease and relaxed from the get go and made sure everyone was enjoying the tour. Overall, this was one of the best tours we've had -- thanks to our guides. Highly recommend.

Vanessa was our guide and she was one of the best guides I have had. Her English is great and interacted with us with no problems. We had a small group of 4, it made the experience even better. We all got along great. Stop were adjusted as needed because it was a rainy day, but we saw and walked much of the very colorful and amazing hills of Valparaiso. Went to Vina del Mar for such as the Castle of the Sea, offering great views and really good food. Made a couple of stop around after lunch and then headed to a winery in the Casablanca valley. Price was great for being all day, covering all the tolls, parking and stops. Only extra was lunch, souvenirs, and if you wanted a wine tasting, it was extra. Go and hopefully you get Vanessa.
