Better than sitting around an airport. - We had a 6 hour layover in Santiago and rather than spending it at the airport decided to do this tour. Our guide, Rod, and the driver were waiting for us after clearing immigration etc and were very flexible about what we had time to see. We did a little drive around the city and then walked around with our guide. The cathedral was not yet open so we stopped for a much needed coffee and then went to the cathedral. We were back at the airport in plenty of time for our onward flight. It was great to get some fresh air between flights. Would recommend this tour, however if you are traveling on an Australian Passport you have to pay the USD117 Recipicol Fee.

santiago tour - it was a satisfactory tour and help spend some time during a long layover. In my opinion, the cost was a little high for the value received, but our driver and tour guide were very nice.

Poor time management - The driver for this tour was an hour late picking us up from the airport, losing crucial time in a stopover tour. The guide spoke very poor English and a four hour tour lasted only 2 hours. Not our best experience.
