This walking tour with Diego was a fantastic way to begin our holiday in Santiago. Diego is friendly and knowledgeable about the art, history and politics of Chile. We got to see inside amazing buildings which we would have otherwise missed. Our tour was a small group of 5 - nice to have ither travellers with us. We have since visited bars and cafes Diego showed us through. Highly recommend this tour!
