Best introduction to Santiago in Chile. - I spent this afternoon on a walking tour with Eugenio throughout the streets of Santiago and without a doubt it would have to be one of the best street tours I have ever done. We managed to see many historic buildings ,the National library, beautiful cathedrals, cool trendy parts of town not mention the gorgeous parks and gardens.
Eugenio has an excellent knowledge of the history of Chile with some first hand experiences that make this even more interesting. I would thoroughly recommend this tour as a good introduction to Santiago.

Top city tour in Santiago. - Excellent city tour in Santiago. Our guide Eugênio is an extremely cordial, helpful person and knowledgeable about the history of Chile. There was a setback with our schedules, and Eugênio promptly managed to help us and reorganize a new schedule for us. In addition to the city tour, his agency offers several other tours. It's very worth it.

A Must Do! - Eugene was the best tour guide! He gave very clear directions on where to meet and how to find him. Once we met up, we started immediately with the history of exactly where we were standing. We walked all around Santiago, making a few pit stops along the way for snacks, coffee and ATMs. He was patient with us 100% and we appreciated his insight on this beautiful city. He even made plenty of recommendations for lunches and dinners while we’re in town. I highly recommend this trip to everyone, and make sure you wear comfortable shoes. Also, be camera ready, as he’s an amazing photographer!

Great way to learn about Santiago and Chile if you have a few spare hours ! - Great tour although in ‘high speed’. If you want to learn more about the history of Santiago and Chile then I highly recommend booking with Eugenio. I was lucky to be by myself - and despite that - Eugenio was there at given time and place 👍🏼
I booked this tour while being kn a business trip and having the Sunday to myself- good way to learn about the country and city! A
Did not visit any of the musea - as it was a local holiday and musea had opened their doors ‘for free’ to the public - there were long cues - not a problem through. One will not regret booking with Eugenio - I can highly recommend his city tour! English is good !! Go for it 💪🏼

Didn't experience it because of cancellation - The tour was cancelled and I was notified a day before with alternate dates/times. None of the alternates worked for me, so I didn't get a chance to experience it.
