Private Santiago City Tour, Chile (7 Hours)

See Chile's capital at your own pace on a 7-hour private tour, with hotel pickup and an optional English-speaking guide.

La Moneda Palace in Santiago, Chile

Our private Santiago city tour is a 7-hour day designed to show you Chile's capital comfortably and without the crowds. It links history, culture and city views, and it adapts to your pace and interests, whether it's your first time in Santiago or you want to see it with fresh eyes.

Unlike big-bus tours, you decide how long to stay at each stop. We cover the historic center, from La Moneda Palace and Plaza de Armas to the Central Market, and finish on Santa Lucía and San Cristóbal hills, with sweeping views of the city and the Andes.

The vehicle is for your group only, and we pick you up at your hotel or Airbnb in Santiago. The tour itself runs in Spanish by default: if your group doesn't speak Spanish, add our optional bilingual (Spanish/English) guide when you request your quote.
