Incredible day with Sean. His knowledge of the area as well as the history of each area gave us insights well beyond the norm. Loved the sand dunes and the beaches. Lunch overlooking the harbor was divine. The colors of Valparaiso were a spectacular treat. Can’t wait to come back!

This was my second tour with Sean and it was just as great as the first. Pacific area is gorgeous and we saw all of the highlights. Great tour!

What a fun day in Viña Del Mar and Valparaiso! Daniel took us to all of the classic spots as well as some hidden gems, and he answered all of our off the wall questions about Chilean history, culture, and politics. We would have never been able to cobble together such a comprehensive itinerary ourselves. The photos he sent at the end were a nice bonus. Thanks!

Valparaiso is totally a ‘don’t miss’ experience. The colourful houses and wall painted murals gives the city a truly bohemian vibe. This tour takes in the whole coast line and a walking tour of the city, including a funicular ride. Sean from Chile Dream Tours is excellent and takes care of everything, including choosing a fabulous lunch destination. Highly recommended.

We engaged Chile Dream Tours for a full day private excursion to Viña del Mar and Valparaiso from Santiago. It was a 5 STAR experience. Our tour guide, Sean Casey, was excellent, a wonderful guide, informative, funny, and extremely attentive to our requests and discussed all manor of questions we had about life in 2022 Chile. Sean lived in the US for 18 year and is fully bi-lingual with near flawless English and Spanish. After the fact we learned that he is also the Operations Manager for the company. We were kept informed both before and after the tour via Whats App. The SUV was clean and comfortable for the 9-hour excursion. At every stop and throughout the day Sean took many photos of our group, which he sent us via e-mail. These are among the best photos of our time in Chile. On the drive from Santiago to our first stop in Viña del Mar we were regaled with the history of Chile from its founding by the Spanish. The drive from Santiago to the first stop in Viña del Mar was an ever-changing landscape from a major city to vineyard and farmlands to the first sighting of the Pacific Ocean and finally the views from the cliffs overlooking this seaside resort city. This tour of Valparaíso was the highlight of the cities we visited in Chile due Sean’s marvelous narrative skills and local knowledge. After a drive through the city we began the walking tour in the city center and boarded the Funicular Reina Victoria, for the ride to the upper half of Valparaiso. What a rush with all the colors, murals, outlooks, etc. We visited all of the sights on our list, from the Piano steps, to the homes and galleries built into the cliffside, and slid down the 120 ft. long cement slide street which is surrounded by murals; This made you feel like a child again. Sean’s suggested restaurant for lunch was a local restaurant, Cafe Turri, with good local seafood and top notch Pisco Sours, made the real way with fresh squeezed lemon juice, egg whites and Chilean Pisco, Sorry Peru. After lunch we continued our walking tour from Cerro Alegre to Cerro Concepción , on to and ending with a stroll back to the city center through the BellaVista Italian neighborhood. We then returned to Santiago. Thank you Sean for a memorable day.

Sean picked us up at the pier, right on time and easy to find. The van was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Sean's knowledge of the history of Chile was impressive and helped give context to what we were seeing. We loved the street art of Valparaiso! There was no way we would have been able to navigate the streets without Sean's guidance! We even had time at the end to do a short tour of Santiago before heading to the airport. Warning: the ride out to Valparaiso is along some very curvy roads. If you're prone to sea sickness, I recommend taking precautions.

We had another wonderful day with Chile Dream Tours and Sean as our experienced, knowledgeable guide. We enjoyed the Pacific Treasures Tour: Valparaiso and Viña del Mar. It was great to experience the coast and the different styles of the towns. We enjoyed the creative, colorful murals and had a delicious lunch overlooking the harbor. We look forward to more tours with Chile Dreams on our next visit.

Sean was accommodating, polite and knowledgeable about his country. We learned a lot of Chilean history and current events. This was in addition to the specifics of the places we visited. Sean made our long, day long tour very interesting and very enjoyable! Highly recommended.

We had an incredible day exploring the countryside and coast of Chile! Sean, our guide, was spectacular- his knowledge of the country, its history and the hidden gems of the land made our day. As I had my 15 yo son traveling with me, we were able to customize the tour to see the alpacas instead of the winery which was an added bonus and demonstrates the true hospitality of Sean and the company! What an incredible country and we were able to see it instyle! Strengths: knowledge, flexibility, clear communication, creativity, private, punctual, comfortable ride Weaknesses: None!!!

Sean Casey was our tour guide for 2 women. It was a very nice private drive to see the ocean towns as well as colors everywhere in Valpariso. Sean speaks wonderful English and was great telling about the history of Chile. He made reservations at a great restaurant with a wonderful view. Would recommend the tour and Sean 100%.

We customized this tour for the last day of our 3 weeks in Chile...saw Vina Del Mar, Valparaiso, walked the sand dunes on Concon, went to a vineyard in Casablanca Valley for a glass of wine and to wander around, them to artisan market to shop and eat in Santiago. A perfect drop at the airport at 1630h, to check in for our flight home to Canada at 9pm that night. Sean was knowledgeable, courteous and very safety conscious. We really enjoyed his commentary and camaraderie. Would highly recommend!

Sean was awesomely the best of the bestest - very highly recommended!!! We toured Valparaiso and Vina del Mar with him, and he dropped us off at Santiago for our cruise embarkation the following day. That was our first trip to South America - our pre-cruise tour, as we cruised Chile, Antarctica, Falkland Islands, Argentina, Uruguay - still so many places to explore in this area. We will definitely come back, and use Sean's company again...

Esteban opened our eyes to the amazing street art of Valparaiso and gave us fantastic insight to its meanings and emotions. We had a very comfortable drive there from Santiago with several stops along the way to take in as many sights and attractions as possible. This was our second day with Chile Dream Tours and was an extremely memorable one. Once again our guide was knowledgeable, professional and excellent company. Highly recommended.

We loved the unique Unesco world heritage site of Valpariso. All the street art was so colorful and beautiful. Esteban made the tour wonderful. I have mobility issues and Esteban helped us to get the very most out of the tour. You will be glad you took the tour!

We have traveled extensively and have booked a lot of independent tours in the past but we have never experienced such wonderful help coordinating/arranging tours for any city as we got from Sean at Chile Dream Tours. We went to Santiago recently prior to a cruise so we landed early the day before and got a tour of Santiago with Chile Dream Tours that day and then the next day, rather than driving directly to our ship in San Antonio, we were picked up at our hotel and taken on a (mostly) walking & boat tour of Valparaiso before being taken to our ship. This was a nice tour and a great way of getting to our ship. They were also very flexible on the schedule so that we could see as much as possible that day and yet get to the ship in comfortable time. I highly recommend Chile Deal Tours.
