“I found a walking tour that could be arranged at a time. That was very important to me since I was flying into Santiago early that day. It took a couple days to confirm. I was pick up and dropped off at mt hotel. My guide Claudio walked me around and was very informative. He asked if I would like to try a typical food and drink. That was almost my favorite thing. Empanadas and Cola de Mano. It was extra with I gladly paid for. I thought the tour was worth it. Private 1 to 1”
