Spending time with David exploring the city, enjoying the food, soaking in the vibe and exploring the architecture feels like meeting a friend in a new city. David made us try all the unique food that makes Chile, CHILE and gave us just the right amount of information about the city, people and culture. We were known as the couple that all knew all about chile in the rest of trip because of our time with David. Every time someone would ask us “Do you know this or Have you tried this?” We had our hands up because of David.…”

“The tour was 2 Restaurants and an ice cream spot for $300 Canadian. 4 restaurants wre in the description but 2 were closed on Sundays so why even bother offering the tour. Didn’t feel much like a Tour as the tour guide would just stay outside while we ate at the restaurants., my wife and I could have just eaten at both the restaurants and taken and Uber between the 2 if we were just going to eat at 2 restaurants by ourself and spent 1/3 of the money. There was a 35 minute Segway drive between the 2restaurants and the town had posts in the middle of the sidewalk…”
