Journey63416357279, May 2026

Claudio is an excellent guide with lots of historical stories guaranteed I saw parts of the city I would not have found on my own. He also reconfirmed our meeting point in the morning with photos of the museum. We were meeting in front of and the hat he would be wearing, which made it very easy to locate them.

5.0 Claudio Brings Chilean History to Life

Maps35646896955, May 2026

We joined Claudio’s walking tour in Santiago on May 1st, which is Labor Day, so unfortunately many places were closed and the route had to be adjusted. Despite that, the experience was excellent. Claudio made up for it by sharing engaging and insightful stories about Chile’s history from the past to modern day developments. What really stood out was his passion and sincerity. You can genuinely feel how much he loves his country, which made the tour even more meaningful. It is very different from just reading a book. He brings history to life in a way that is both informative and entertaining. I really appreciated his effort and energy throughout the tour. Highly recommended.

Alexander S, April 2026

Claudio was an excellent tour guide. This walking tour in Santiago was one of the highlights of my trip. The guide provided insightful context on Chile’s history while also touching on economics, politics, and religion in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. It felt much more in-depth than a typical tour, and the mix of major landmarks and lesser-known spots gave a great overall perspective of the city. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a fun and deep understanding of Santiago and Chile.

Richard_a, April 2026

Katy efficiently navigated us through the historical spots in Santiago and provided the background information about these areas. She also made suggestions for lunch in the area where the tour ended, which was helpful. She was clear and easy to understand. If I were to improve one thing, I would suggest encouraging the participants to introduce themselves to the group at the beginning of the tour, in order to facilitate interaction and discussion while walking between stops.

841adriennet, March 2026

First of all, Claudio was extremely knowledgeable and very personable. We learned so much about Chile’s history in a manner that was easy to follow.

Arriving in a new city can be quite daunting and this 3 hour tour is a great way to start your exploration. Claudio was the guide and whatapp communication a day before the trip with photos of the meeting point and his green baseball cap. Claudio also spoke perfect English. Tour started right on time with 3 other people, so great small tour. Claudio showed us with great slides on the history of Chile and Santiago, plus a walk around the city and also helped me understand how to use public transport. Trip ended with a walk around the restaurant district with restaurant and food recommendations. I highly recommend this trip.
