Experience the best of
Santiago with Withlocals

"Amalia was one of the best tour guides we have used at WithLocals. She knew about the history of Santiago, took us to some overlooked sites that are important to Chile's history (e.g. Morande 80, plaques on the ground at Plaza de Armas), and answered any questions we had. She also gave us great recommendations for lunch. She conversed perfectly in English."

"My favorite way to learn about a new city and country is a food tour. Food = culture. Pablo was the perfect guide to lead us on a food tour where we ate with and like locals. Pablo provided us with a view into local Chilean food, culture, music and architecture. We went places we never would have discovered on our own. We talked for hours and learned so much. The Vega Central market experience was a highlight. I would highly recommend. "

"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Pablo, he exceeded our expectations. Pablo packed so much into our few hours, and such diverse collections of experiences from history to art, to climbing a mountain to yummmy food. Our favorite was trying the BEST cheese empanadas in Santiago. Thanks so much for the amazing experience, we look forward to coming back to Santiago soon! "

"Pablo was knowledgeable and energetic. It felt like an authentic Chilean food experience: he went out of his way to be sure we had a great local experience! "

"Cristobal was an amazing guide - taking us to places that the locals go to and also getting to try some amazing food from empanadas to corn pie. Really worth it! "

"They say if you really want to understand a place its soul, its scars, its rhythm you sit down and eat with its people. Bourdain said that, and damn if he wasn’t right. I landed back in Santiago under the cover of night, checked into some no-frills motel with flickering neon and just enough hot water to remind you you’re still alive. A few hours of sleep, then straight into the streets with Pablo my guide, my local compass, my translator for the Chilean chaos I was about to dive into. We walked. We ate. We walked some more. Santiago unfolded itself in layers old colonial bones wrapped in graffiti, street vendors slinging empanadas like they were dealing secrets. Pablo told me stories of dictators, poets, and late night revelers. He laughed when I mentioned going out after midnight. You gringos are either brave or stupid he said. Maybe both. Day and night here are two different animals. By day, it's a sun-drenched canvas of history and hustle. By night, it hums with something raw, something electric and slightly dangerous. I got my steps in. I got my fill. And in between bites, I got just a little closer to understanding this city."

"We had the most wonderful experience with Cristobal! Highly recommend spending a day with Cristobal exploring the city and trying some local dishes. We could not have asked for a more lovely guide. "

"Excellent foodie tour in Santiago Chile with Pablo. We have been on other Withlocals food tours around the world and must say Pablo was the best! Walked through the food markets, Learned about much of the local history of the country. Then tasted different, unique, local foods, and had a wonderful lunch. Would recommend this foodie tour with Pablo for anyone who has time in Santiago!"

"Amalia is a great tour guide! She walked us through the highlights of downtown Santiago. We had a large group and she was super flexible and accommodating. We would highly recommend her for any tour she has available. "

"We loved our food tour with Cristobal, he was so informative and showed us the local food market and we felt like we found the real authentic Chilean foods. It felt super special for us we couldn’t recommend it enough! It’s a totally different Santiago compared to what you’d find on a generic tour. "
