The temple is outside of Santiago, about a 40 minute drive. The greater at the temple did not speak clearly in any of the 3 languages he was attempting, but there was an information session at the gift shop. The temple itself is peaceful and offers visitors different prayer options and prayed books. Stunning design and sheer peace once you are inside.

Enjoyed both tours! The Bahai Temple was a self guided tour. The design & architecture of the temple is mesmerizing. It evokes a sense of spirituality. The wine tasting in Cousina Macul was educational. The guide talked about the history of one of the oldest wineries in Santiago. We enjoyed the walk down the dimly lit cellars. It was beautiful! The complimentary etched wine glass was a nice souvenir but not practical to be carrying around when traveling. Pack them well! We walked around the vineyard on our own after wine tasting, and was a perfect way to end the afternoon with the sunset and mountains in the background. Special thanks to Valentina & Julio from Turistik tour company for a smooth ride to these places.

Our guide did an amazing job swapping between English, Spanish, and Portuguese! There was a decent sized group of us and we all were answered whenever we had questions/concerns. The experience at both the temple and the vineyard was amazing! I had not heard of the Baha'i faith before this and hearing about them and seeing the temple was a great experience. In the bookshop I actually met one of the authors who took time to tell us his story and how he came to Chile. Going for wine after the temple was a good end of a tour. We tried several wines and heard the history of the vineyard as well as the process for how to make wine which I appreciated as someone who has been on vineyard tours in the past. My only criticism would be the free wine glasses. GREAT idea, not so great in execution. Those aren't exactly easy to pack. Mine broke on my flight even though I kept it in the bag and didn't put it in anything else. It was just too fragile :(

Two completely different experiences joined to make a very memorable day. The minibus was comfortable and our guide made us welcome and included as she moved effortlessly from Spanish to English The Baha’i Temple was a peaceful thought invoking experience. An unusual construction in an amazing setting surrounded by nature and carefully designed water features. This was followed by the visit to the Cousino Macal vineyard a perfect combination. Our guide there spoke perfect English and made the experience educational, interesting and fun. The wine tasting was generous and enjoyable and the whole tour fascinating. A thoroughly enjoyable experience, 10 out of 10 !👏

Gave me wrong address and no apology. Temple was only 40 minutes and that includes the speech you must sit through. Way too rushed.

Not worth going if you aren't into the temple stuff. It was a waste of time. The tour lasted less than 20 minutes for $170.

We had a wonderful experience with our tour. Alejandro, our guide, was amazing, funny and full of information. Our driver Patricio was great at navigating the heavy traffic and had his secret shortcuts. We had one day in Santiago and booked this tour last minute. A great find and we highly recommend.

It was a fun tour, Juan our tour guide was quite knowledgeable as he narrated all along the way every detail. The Bahai Temple was an extraordinary architectural wonder and the setting surrounded by the Andes was breathtaking. Our only disappointment: we were not informed of a 45 minute religious presentation we had to attend before entering the temple. The vineyard was spectacular and the wine testing delicious. Dani our vineyard guide graciously explained the history of the vineyard’s family and the processing of its wines.

Wonderful trip. 2 experiences were very different but both extraordinary and worth the visit. Ignacio and Leo were a great team. I was the only english speaker on the bus and Ignacio did a wonderful job of dual translation of everything so felt very included. Also local guides at Temple ans Winery who were lovely. Highly recommend this tour and Turistik.

Temple Bahá’í is an impressive building in a beautiful place overlooking Santiago. Cousiño Macul 👌.

Highly recommend it. I was in for the wine tours but only had a half day. Chose this one by default as other won was booked. Learned about the Bahai religion and the temple with a great view. I leaned and enjoyed. The Cousino Macul Vineyard I was ready to be skeptical of as it was within greater Santiago and near a freeway. I was delighted. Besides being a vineyard, it is a historical treasure started and still owned by a famous Chilean family. I was fascinated. Everyone at both places was kind, enthusiastic and insightful. I am not just saying this. They are happy to see some tourists back after Covid. Last but most important, I Ashley our guide was wonderful. Upbeat, fun and insightful. It woud be hard for anyone not to enjoy her as a guide. . Sent from my iPad

Picked up at my hotel. Tour size was small, about 12 of us. Daniel, tour guide, did a fantastic job. He was switching back and forth between English and Portuguese with ease. The winery was great, with the exception of not actually going into the vineyard. We had 4 samples, plus a bread bowl fondue at the end. The Bahai Temple was beautiful and majestic. My only complaint was that they did not have an English translation of the prayers. Our driver, Mario, was a wizard at navigating the traffic. The tour lasted about 5 hours, with pick up and drop off. It was a great way to spend an afternoon.

The winery tour with 4 samples and fondue bread bowl at the end was great. The only thing that we did not do, was get to walk thru the vineyards. The Bahai House - Temple was beautiful and serene. I just wish that the prayer book that they hand out had an English translation. The tour company, Turistik, was great. Our tour guide, Daniel, and driver, Mario, were excellent. Daniel went back and forth, English and Portuguese, flawlessly. Mario navigated the dense traffic like a maestro. I would definitely go on another tour with them.

An unexpected treat. Valentina, thé guide was very respectful of both the Spanish and English people on the tour. Winery part was excellent and very informative. No push to simply buy the wine. Very interesting. The Baha’i house was a very nice quiet retreat to the end of the day. Peaceful and thought provoking. Would definitely recommend.
