“We were due to stay in Valparaiso after a two week cruise. WE thought the best way to get an understanding of the city and its history was to do a short tour. Our guide, Jeffery, was excellent. He was an American living in the city and he talked with the knowledge and enthusiasm of a local. The whole 4 hours was full of interesting facts and we saw places we would have otherwise missed. I am glad we did the tour right at the beginning as it gave us a great insight to the city and how it is laid out. Navigation afterwards was simple. Great tour, great fun…”

Went out of his way to accommodate one couple on the trip that wanted to eat at a different restaurant than he planned and the rest of us enjoyed. Highly recommend if you have about 6 hours between cruise ship and airport.”
