Experience food tours in
Santiago with Withlocals

"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. "

"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!"

"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. "

"We had an amazing tour experience with Cristóbal! All the food we tried was delicious, we had beers at some of the stops and we learnt so much about Santiago and Chilean food. Highly recommend this tour! "

"Our food tour was excellent and we were introduced to many traditional Chilean foods. Cristóbal was very knowledgeable about food, history, and culture. Highly recommend when visiting Santiago!"

"Great tour with a lot of variety and good pacing. Go on an empty stomach and you definitely won’t be eating dinner that night. Cristobal is also a great guy and us easy to talk with."
