“Great one day experience. Valapraiso experience was amazing. Funicular ride was awesome. Valapraiso is very very hilly and the steps are narrow. Wear comfortable shoes with a nice sole such as sneakers or hiking shoes. Vino de Mar awesome, flower clock, piano stairs awesome. Ignacio our tour guide did an amazing job of managing our large tour group given that members in the group had expectations. The drop off and pick up from hotel or Airbnb was great. Definitely take tour during the summer months.”
