Tour guide was pleasant and spoke English well. The 3 vineyards were beautiful with excellent guide. The lunch was surprising: didn't look like much from outside or inside but food plentiful and excellent.

The tour was very good, the car is confortable and we loved concha y toro e urruaga. we did not like that much santa Rita.
The guide Rodrigo was very nice all the time and helped us with our cell phone that was forgot at concha y toro so he went back there with my friend, but as expected...

The guide Rodrigo was very nice all the time and helped us with our cell phone that was forgot at concha y toro so he went back there with my friend, but as expected he charged for it. Later he offered to us instead of leaving us at our apartment to go with us at the central market for lunch, but he never said it was going to charged separately. when we arrived at the market it was that perfect tourist cilada when they surrounded us and took us from inside the car directly inside the restaurant so we could not choose other restaurant. after that he he took us back to the apartment and charged more 10000 pesos.
To be fair, they changed us to this tour from our original pick of a 3 Winery tour, because they said that several of the wineries were only open in the morning that day.

To be fair, they changed us to this tour from our original pick of a 3 Winery tour, because they said that several of the wineries were only open in the morning that day. So we went on this tour of 2 wineries instead. Both wineries were good, though Concha del Toro was a bit of a “machine” that just pumped vast numbers of people through. Santa Rita was absolutely wonderful, the best part being that because we had so much time to waste, we had wine on the terrace. But the issue with this tour is that There was 45 hours in between wine tours. And the wineries are quite close to each other. Even with a long long lunch and wine on the terrace, we had a ridiculous amount of time to waste. The first winery runs tours every 10 min, so they could have certainly planned it later and thus more efficiently. The second issue was that we did not have a guide but rather a driver. So if you want to hear about history or get information about the region, you won’t. After the first tour which stated at 10;10 and took an hour, our driver explained the lunch options roughly, but not overly well, but didn’t inform us that the next tour was at 2:45pm! We took a simpler lunch, not knowing how much time we needed to kill, and ended up at Santa Rita with 2.5 hours to kill, even though we took our time at lunch. Though if you do get stuck in this situation, go to the restaurant at Santa Rita, and ask to sit on the terrace and drink wine. We tried several wines- given we had over 2 hours, and this was quite nice, though again, we had to figure that part out for ourselves. The issue is that things were not well explained, and planned poorly.A really special day made so much better by our wonderful tour guide Pedro (Peter). We thoroughly recommend this tour.

We had a fantastic time on this tour. The driver was very nice and even went a bit out of his way to pick us up which we really appreciated. We stopped at Undurraga and Concha y Toro, which were both beautiful wineries with some very nice wines. Undurraga we only had one other couple with us on our English tour which we really enjoyed as it made the tour feel more personal. Overall a wonderful experience.The timing for this tour among the three wineries visited was quite poorly managed. After touring the first winery, we were told that there would be a 3.5 hour wait until the tour of the second winery started and that we should use the time to get lunch.

The timing for this tour among the three wineries visited was quite poorly managed. After touring the first winery, we were told that there would be a 3.5 hour wait until the tour of the second winery started and that we should use the time to get lunch. But it was 11:15 AM and we were not ready for lunch. So we asked to be taken to the second winery and we would skip the tour and just have the tasting. But there was no communication between our driver, the tour window and the tasting room and we were going to be charged for tasting even though we had paid for a tasting and a tour. Our driver paid a fee and we were able to taste. We then were driven to the third winery where a tour in English just happened to be starting and we joined and were allowed to taste. When the tour was booked on VIATOR, we were not given an option of which level of wines to taste and so we had to pay extra to taste the best wines. All in all a very disappointing day considering the cost.
