Daniel did a super job of showing me everything I wanted to see and then some. San Cristobal was stunning and I loved all the historical buildings. He even accommodated my wishes, adding in a wine tour in the afternoon—fabulous!

We are so glad we selected this day tour with Chilean Dream Tours. Our guide, Daniel, was personable & knowledgable and we learned a lot about Santiago, a beautiful city well worth visiting, in one day. If you only have one day to spend in Santiago, go with this company for an enriching experience.

This was our last day before long flights and we had already done some touring. Daniel was excellent at showing us things we had missed and making our day an enjoyable and relaxing experience filled with lots of local information. Especially loved the trip to the amazing craft market. We really liked the flexibility of a private tour with a guide who speaks excellent English.derekwales654

Booked this tour and spoke with Sean via e-mail. Daniel was our tour guide. He took us to all the best places in Santiago. His local knowledge was excellent. He also spent time taking photos of us and some of the sights we visited. What an excellent service nothing was too much trouble for him. So if your heading to Santiago then check out their web site as they have lots to offer. This is a FIVE STAR company and the cost of their excursions are very good. If we ever visit Santiago again this will be the first tour company we will visit. Thankyou Sean, Daniel and all the staff at Chile Dream Tours for a wonderful day.
