We found this place on trip advisor and we're a bit wary of it the $195/person was worth what we were getting. I was also nervous when I didn't get any confirmation from my deposit on PayPal. Our guide, Cristian, arrived at our hotel around 8am in a very nice bus and we proceeded to pick up the other guests at their hotels. On the way through the city, Cristian provided a "city tour" and tons of interesting information. This continued after we left Santiago and travelled through the countryside on the way to Casablanca valley. The wineries we went to were great (Loma Larga, Bodegas RE, and Morandé). We purchased wines at the first two! Note: LOma ships back home for free but Bodegas doesn't offer shipping) The lunch was four courses of delicious bread, poké, steak and risotto, and dessert with sparkling wine tasting! We left and we're back at our hotel by 5:30 in time to get ready for our evening plans! I would HIGHLY recommend this Uncorked tour, it is WELL worth it. Cristian is starting his own tour company on the coast in Valparaiso, "Coast of Poets" so he won't be touring any longer sadly.

Food is amazing and totally worth it. I had the ossobuco and it was absolutely fantastic, falling off the bone, melting in your mouth delicious! Their wines are also delicious. We did the historical tour plus tasting, and they served 4 of their signature wines. All super smooth, delicious. They sell most of their production internally to Chile. Their wine is fantastic: dry but smooth. I highly recommend the tour as well, you get to learn about the property, all the owners and how it got to what it is today. Highly recommend it visiting the Santa Rita Winery if you ever find yourself in Chile.

We met Nikolas at the assigned spot and we waited about five minutes for two others who were booked but had not arrived. Oh, well. His English was excellent and completely understandable. Interesting spots on the tour and not just food. A good amount of cultural spots as it was neat to learn about Chile and Santiago's history. Lots of walking, too! A little but too much "talking" here and there, but that's just me. Food on the tour included empanadas, a pisco sour, coffee and a pastry, and a tasty meal at a restaurant that I'd already bookmarked to hit up during my time here. Oops. Well worth it.

Even though the cost was over double compared to other outfits, the small group size and personal attention we got made the cost well worth it. We got so much more information about the city, it's history and saw way more of the city than from a tour from one of the big tour guide company's a few earlier. Highly recommend EcoChile to anyone looking to take a guided tour around Chile.

My husband and I got off the plane at 9am, dropped our stuff off at the hotel, and began the tour at 12. The plan was to do anything and everything to stay awake until it was bed time in order to lessen the onset of jet lag. We were in for a real treat and were enthralled with the things we saw on the tour through Santiago. With stops at Santa Lucia Hill, the Bella Vista District, and Santiago's bustling city center, we didn't have time to think about being sleepy. The next day we had Ariel as our driver again (very happy about that) and our guide was now Estéban. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the many different goings on in this country, but was most passionate about nature, respecting the land and the people who made it so. Best part of the trip was standing atop a silent mountain and watching the incredible condors gliding in between the peaks. Mesmerizing. Loved both days we spent with Servitour guides Ariel, Borris, and Estéban. I'm looking forward to returning to Chile and having them take us on other adventures.

The staff was super friendly and went out of their way to answer any and all questions. FYI, most tourist attractions are closed on Monday, you might be better served to plan something else than going to museums, and riding the gondola on a Monday. The buses were clean, the recording that you listen to, comes in a variety of languages and is extremely boring and useless. I've been on various bus tours in other cities with a live tour guides and it makes a world of difference, imho. We flew into town at 7:30 am and needed something to do until the hotel room was ready. Why not get the lay of the land, relatively cheaply with a hop on hop off bus tour, it drops you off at the most popular tourist spots. The overall length of bus tour without getting off is about 2 1/2 hours depending on traffic. Public Banos are few and far between, so take advantage when around one :-). Overall I give it 3.5 stars, but round it up to 4 because all 5 of the employees I interacted with, did an excellent job.

I don't usually go for organized tours as I enjoy researching and curating my entire experience, but Pride Tours are intimate and completely customizable. The moment Freddy welcomed us at the airport there was an immediate feeling of comfort and fun. Instead of a completely scheduled itinerary, we opted for a few different tours sprinkled throughout our stay. Besides our pickup to take us to the charming boutique hotel in Bellavista called The Aubrey, our first day tour was the Cajón del Maipo. As any traveler knows, part of the fun of any excursion is the journey itself. After the scenic ride through the incredible landscape and a dip in the thermal springs (with a little flurry of snowflakes), he had arranged a lovely lunch at a roadside stop called La Magia Del Km71. This was actually a highlight of the day's venture as the warm welcome from the owner and her family was beautiful and the isolation of it quite stunning. This was followed by a quick stop for chocolate at the Hobbit-like fairy tale cottage La Casa Chocolate. A couple days later, being an architecture enthusiast, we'd arranged a tour to visit the Templo Bahá'í de Sudamérica with it's eco/modern temple overlooking Santiago. On the way back to the hotel, we stopped at a popular local bakery, drove through some of the iconic neighborhoods, and then dined at an incredible Seafood restaurant, Pulmay at Borde Rio, where the owner came over to share drinks and stories. The evening wasn't quite over, so we stopped for drinks at El Toro Restorán with it's bevy of handsome waiters. When it was time to head West to the sea, we made the trip a day of wine tasting through Casablanca en route to Valparaiso. From an intimate tour at the artisanal Bodegas RE, to the luxe tasting and dining experience at Casas Del Bosque, the day was full of fun and laughter. Our two different accommodations in Valpo were amazing. First a modern AirBnB in the hills with it's own pool and expansive view, then the incredible Malbec Suite at the eccentric WineBox, our days there were relaxing and full of great food. On our last day, instead of simply heading to the airport, Freddy took us on a street art tour through the seaside town with funicular rides and gallery visits, a memorable way to bid farewell to Chile. I'm incredibly happy that we found Pride Tours, and not only do I encourage travelers to enlist their expertise, but the memories and friendship made became a central beauty of our trip.

Ok so I found this tour company through yahoo and couldn't find it on yelp. I wanted a private tour…read morebecause I feel like I can ask personal questions about the tour without being rushed. I choose the Santiago tour and winery first because I wanted to explore the and at the same drink some wine. Now here's what's cool my flight got delayed from Mexico city to Santiago and I had already booked w chili dream tours and was afraid I was going to loose my money. I emailed and called and the tour coordinator Sean easily made the adjustment and rescheduled us. Points for flexibility. So I arrive into Santiago and we begin the tour. Sean the tour guide pulls up in a large 7 passenger vehicle lots of space to relax. I was provided with a water and we went off into the city. Sean took us around the city of Santiago he's like walking Wikipedia this guy not only knew the history of the city he knew the city nightlife and gave great suggestions on where to go and what to eat. So back to the tour I saw all the major spots Santiago had to offer - San Cristobal hill the mountain w statue of virgin Mary. Amazing views and photo ops of the city its a must. We then saw the city center and where the president lives the whole té Sean filled us up with so much history info I kind of felt like he should be working for the history chanel because he knew his sh$*. From there we traveled to the undurraga winery great tour where you got an overview of the process and you get to see all the equipment on what it takes to make this great tasting wine. And of course you get to drink wine at the end! With such a good experience that day I immediately booked another tour w Sean for the day after. Now extra points for this tour company. My freind got sick hours before we were supposed to take the tour and Sean was like no problem and rescheduled it! Wow 2 for 2 on this company for keeping the customers needs in mind. We finally was able to do the vina del mar /valparaiso / Casas del Bosque winery tour. We were able to travel to the coast and see the beaches cool thing about Sean he will give you options depending on what you like he will take you to those parts in the city we choose the casino and had about 30 min to kill and gamble, next off was valparaiso I really loved this part of the tour Sean took us in and out of the streets to see all the art and history of the city we stopped to eat at a restaurant. Cade turri w a view of the city and that was amazing as well as the food Omg. Last stop was the winery Casas del Bosque very beautiful place looks like a location you can maary someone or take on a great date. So all in all chile dream tours picks great locations, Sean is a great host who speaks fluent English, Spanish and Portuguese. They will even do custom tours! Be sure to call and ask for Sean and ask as many questions as possible he will have an answer except for coquitas and strawberries but he says he's looking into it lol.
