  • Kim Braxton
“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.”

“We took a day tour with this company from Santiago to Valparaiso. Our guide Emanuel was fantastic. He was knowledgeable well spoken and a lot of fun. He obviously enjoys his job and worked hard to make sure we had the best day ....which we did. There were four people on the tour and he tailored all activities to suit everyone. A very pleasant day. Would recommend this tour and company.”

Valparaiso Tour Highlights and Travel Tips

The heart and soul of Chile and a welcome relief from the chaos of Santiago, Valparaiso is the beachside city we all dream of. There’s plenty here to keep you occupied during both the day and night but it never makes you feel overwhelmed. A tour to Valparaiso captures Chile at its best with its bright and colourful buildings and eclectic array of dining options. It is impossible not to fall in love with this place.

Tour Highlights

  • Visit La Sebastiana, Pablo Neruda’s old house and spend some time admiring the quirky décor as you discover what inspired the Nobel prize-winning poet.
  • No trip to Valparaiso is complete without wandering through Cerro Alegro and Cerro Concepción and checking out the cool street art.
  • Go sandboarding at the giant sand dunes in Concon or just climb up them and admire the views of the sea from the top.
  • Treat yourself to an empanada or two from one of the many street vendors or little empanada bakeries – it shouldn’t set you back more than about 1,000 pesos ($1.50)
  • Go to the ex-carcel – a prison that has now been converted into a cultural centre. They always have performances and exhibitions going on.

Travel Tips

  • Valparaiso is easy to cover by foot but if you need go a bit further afield, hop on a micro (bus) as they are incredibly cheap and run like clockwork.
  • Don’t miss out on chorrillana – the ultimate Chilean carnivore meal consisting of meat, chips, eggs and caramelised onions.
  • Even if you know a bit of Spanish you probably won’t have ever heard it spoken like a Chilean. The accent is tough to understand and they use a lot of slang so don’t be put off if you have no idea what anyone is saying at first.
  • A holiday in Valparaiso is generally pretty safe but take care when walking around alone at night and don’t flash your valuables.
  • If you are on a budget, consider eating in picadas (small, cheap local restaurants).
  • Tipping is generally expected and the usual amount is about 10%. You should also tip the people who bag your groceries.
  • Valparaiso is a tsunami zone so make yourself aware of the nearest evacuation route from your accommodation. They are rare but its always better safe than sorry.
