The tour was very informative and we saw important sights for the topic of the tour. We got further tips and recommendations from the guide (Larisa Grbic) on request and were hosted very well the whole tour. We will recommend the tour to others.

Vanesa did a great job of keeping our interest and giving us a history lesson on Chile and Santiago. She has wonderful energy and we enjoyed our time with her. We would love to do another tour with her.
