“Of course YMMV, but this tour was one of the greatest highlights of our 3 weeks in Chile for me and my wife. We had already visited Patagonia and Atacama, and thought we were beyond being wowed at this point. But our guide Paula did an incredible job introducing us to so much of the amazing and vibrant local culture in Valparaiso. Her passion for her hometown was clearly evident throughout the tour. And thanks to her, we got to experience interacting with locals at the fish market, students at the funicular, and artists along the viewpoints. Highly recommended!”
