Superó las expectativas

Contratamos esto casi sin expectativas y terminó siendo lo más lindo del viaje. Tuvimos buen tiempo en Santiago para sacar fotos tranquilos. Nos tocó un guía excelente, con mucha data y buen humor. Totalmente recomendado.

Cumpriu, mas esperava um pouco mais pelo preço. Comparando com fazer por conta própria, compensa. Muito bom incluir informações sobre a história, a cultura, a arquitetura e as tradições de Santiago. Éramos vários e não conseguimos assentos juntos. Recomendo mesmo assim.

Nos gustó

Un buen paseo, sin llegar a ser inolvidable. Que venga con entrada a iglesias seleccionadas y lugares históricos cuando sean accesibles hace toda la diferencia. El personal de tierra fue amable desde el primer contacto. Para lo que incluye, el precio es más que razonable. Algunas paradas necesitan más sombra para esperar. Se puede mejorar, pero no me arrepiento de haberlo hecho.

Nada a reclamar, tudo saiu como estava descrito. Nos deixaram em Casa Colorada sem nenhuma volta desnecessária. O desfile da Troca da Guarda no Palácio de La Moneda veio incluído e é muito bem vindo. A informação prévia sobre o ponto de encontro poderia ser mais clara. Recomendo sem pensar.

We picked it from the photos and it was even better in person. The entry into CHOOSE churches and historic landmarks when accessible was included and much appreciated. We paid noticeably less than other options and the experience was just as good. We would book again.

Solid choice

Good experience, with one thing worth knowing beforehand. We would never have made it to Changing of the Guard Parade at La Moneda Palace on our own. A really practical way to get your bearings on day one. One of the stops was closed that day and nobody mentioned it. A good option, especially on a first visit.
