Discover Santiago through its historic center, neighborhoods, viewpoints, and the everyday culture that shapes the city
This private full-day experience is a flexible and engaging way to get to know Santiago, combining major landmarks with neighborhoods, viewpoints, and everyday places that help reveal the city’s character.
We begin the day at Bicentennial Park, a calm and open space that reflects Santiago’s more contemporary side, before heading to the historic center, where we visit places such as the Presidential Palace (La Moneda) and the Museum of Pre-Columbian Art, helping you gain a deeper understanding of Chile’s history and cultural roots.
From there, we continue through Lastarria, one of Santiago’s most characterful neighborhoods, known for its historic architecture, independent cafés, galleries, and urban life.
After lunch, we head up to Metropolitan Park by cable car for wide views over Santiago and the surrounding Andes.
We end the day in Bellavista, a lively neighborhood where art, food, and local life come together in a more informal and creative side of the city.
More than following a fixed script, we adapt the day to your interests and create space for conversation, questions, and a more personal way of discovering Santiago beyond the usual sightseeing route.
Further down, you’ll find pricing, inclusions, and everything you need to plan your tour.
