Begin the tour at the hotel. Walk down the city’s main avenue, visit the cobblestoned streets of Lastarría, known for its colonial mansions, get lost in the beauty of Santa Lucia Hill and stop by a panoramic viewpoint to gaze across Santiago and learn more about the city's history.

The trip was amazing...
I used them last year for a two week South American trip (Chile, Patagonia, Argentina, Iguazú Falls and Rio). The trip was amazing....everything went smoothly, without a hitch. Hotels were nice. Tour guides spoke good English and were lots of fun.
