Santiago Walking Sights Tour: Food Tastings and Markets

Our tour guide Nicholas had great knowledge of the Chilean history and local cuisine. We recommend this tour to other travelers

Our guide was Flo. She was a lovely, nice, informed and overall great guide to have. The walking tour is very nice and to important spots in Santiago. The food was high quality and enjoyable. The markets were very interesting. I do recommend this tour and ask for Flo. She is great!

Though pleasant, our guide lacked basic knowledge of Chilean cuisine. For the amount we paid, I would've expected to get some kind of history, context, cultural norms, etc. Instead we got someone walking us long distances to different locations with very little commentary. The highlight was interacting with the other people on the tour. The food itself was basic and we even had to pay for our own water! I would've at least expected a complimentary drink with lunch. I would save my money and walk around the markets alone, you learn about the same.

What a treat to tour Santiago with Juan Pablo! His insight into the local history, architecture, culture and food was generous and diverse. The tour amply satisfied our stomachs and interests.

You Need to re-write the description of this tour. We took the City’s Free walking tour on the first day of our arrival. It was about 5 hours. Without the food tasting. So therefore when we went on Viator tour... it was a repeat. Pretty much our highlite was the pisco sour. We sat down at 2 restaurant. First to eat an empanada. Then to another restaurant to eat the corn pie which was a famous food within Chile. Way too sweet for most of us. Only one person finished it. Then we went to a park where we took a lift to see a view of Santiago. Filo, our tour guide purchased a drink call moto con huesillo a sugar syrup drink with wheat and barley at the bottom. So sweet.,,,!!!!!!!! . We felt this food tasting tour was overpriced and did not educate the food in Santiago. We could of seen how some of our items were made esp. the corn pie and the drinks.

Had a great day getting to know Santiago and their food. Would definitely re oend this tour. Pablo was a great guide and we got to taste some fantastic local foods.

I booked this to fill some free time at the end of a business trip. Overall a very enjoyable tour - Nicholas our guide was friendly, engaging and enthusiastic, really enjoyed the time with him. The small size of the group makes a big difference too. We enjoyed a visit to the central market - nice as we saw a good chunk of ordinary Santiago - for a delicious seafood empanada and pisco sour the best of the 5 I had on this trip!, then trendy Bella Vista and Lastarria firstly for gelato, then a lunch of traditional Chilean food. We were then left at a small market area with more shops and restaurants. Overall a very enjoyable 4 hours. The only negative I have and Nicholas was very apologetic about this and adapted the tour to compensate, so I don't hold him to blame! is that as I went on a Monday, the trip up San Cristobel Hill was not possible as the cable car etc. are closed on Monday. Viator should make this clear on the listing - I didn't see anything to warn me of this.

Great tour guide.

Nicholas was a great guide. We enjoyed the conservations, the history and the explanations of the food and history of the marauders. He was helpful with the Metro, which we took between markets. Tastings , including lunch, were fabulous. Highly recommend this tour.
