The experience

The guide meets you and builds the day around what you want to see. Instead of a fixed itinerary, you explore Valparaiso according to your interests: the neighborhoods that draw you, the streets worth walking, the stories that matter to you. A native guide knows which routes the tourists miss and which ones the locals actually use, so the city unfolds differently than it would on your own or with a standard group tour.

Public transport is part of the experience here. All tickets are included, so you move through the city the way Valparaiso residents do: riding the buses and funiculars that connect the neighborhoods instead of walking everywhere on foot. Bottled water, sunscreen and sanitizer come with you. The whole thing runs 2 to 3 hours, which gives you time to see what matters without eating up your entire day.
