Review of Bali Hai’s Santiago dinner show, with Chilean folklore, Polynesian dance, wine refills, hotel transport, and practical booking tips.
“The transportation from the hotel to the venue was fine. The food was ok but nothing special. The table were I was placed for the show was right at the back behind a lot of other tables in all directions and as such pretty much all I could see for the show were the back of peoples heads and the pillars. This table along with several of the others should not be allowed to be used/sold to the customers for the show!!!! If you want to see the show I would suggest that you contact them directly to try and ensure you get a decent table and if not I…”

Review of Santiago at Night: private city sights, Santa Lucia views, Chilean dinner, traditional show, value, logistics, and key drawbacks.
“Our tour guide, Juan, was the best guide we’ve had on our trip to Argentina and Chile!. He gave us such a good understanding of the history of Chile while taking us up the Gondola for great views of the city. Then we went to the dinner and show. The food was ok, but the show was even better. Music and dancing from the different cultures of Chile. We didn’t have a lot of time to spend in Chile but this was certainly worth doing.”
