The experience

The tour starts at your cruise ship terminal, where your guide meets you with company signage. After loading luggage into an air-conditioned van, you head straight into Valparaiso's maze of winding alleyways, colorful hillside houses and street art. Your guide walks you through the city's most important monuments and viewpoints overlooking the bay, explaining the history and culture as you move. One of the stops includes a ride on El Peral Funicular, a century-old cable car that carries you up or down the steep hills: a working piece of the city's past and a vantage point in itself.

After Valparaiso, the route heads inland to Casablanca Valley, one of Chile's key wine regions. You visit one of the valley's iconic wineries, where an expert guide leads a wine tasting included in your price. The tasting is built into the itinerary, not rushed. You get time to understand what you're drinking. By around 5 p.m., you're dropped off at your choice of Santiago airport or hotel, giving you the rest of the evening free.
