"We (group of 4) thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Alejandra. All 4 really enjoyed it. Alejandra was friendly, knowledgeable and made the day interesting. A great day out overall. Thank you!"
"We had an incredible time on the 10 Tastes of Santiago tour with Cristobal! We tried so many delicious local foods—sopaipillas, empanadas, completos, seafood stew, and more—and everything was fantastic. Cristobal was such a wonderful guide and even better company. He’s clearly passionate about his country, and we really enjoyed hearing his personal story and learning about Chilean culture through his eyes. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Santiago!"
"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."
"Our private group. of 4 had a wonderful time exploring sights and tastes of Santiago. Two had been to Santiago many times but never had the occasion to see the historical parts and really enjoyed it. Cristobal is so knowledgeable about food, history and daily life in Chile. We usually go with Viator or Devour, but found WithLocals to be a great insider resource. One of us requested an unusual seafood at our Central Market meal and Cristobal made it happen. Also, the price was amazingly reasonable for everything we had to eat."
"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! "

Finding Authentic Santiago
"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. "

The Best Guided Tour of Santiago
"I had an incredible 5-hour private tour of Santiago, Chile, with Melissa, and it was an unforgettable experience! Melissa was outstanding—her English was flawless, and she was incredibly kind, making me feel comfortable throughout. Her deep knowledge of Santiago’s history, culture, and politics truly set this tour apart. She provided fascinating insights into the city’s landmarks and its complex past, all explained with clarity and passion. Being alone on the tour allowed for a very personalized experience, and she was happy to answer all my questions. The 5-hour duration was perfect, offering plenty of time to explore without feeling rushed. I highly recommend Melissa for anyone wanting a meaningful introduction to Santiago with a truly exceptional guide."
