Santiago city experience: Walking tour, Market visit, Lunch & Coffee included

Romina was absolutely wonderful and very knowledgeable of the city. It was a great experience and would highly recommend her for this trip.

Joseph our tour guide arrived at the hotel on time and reviewed our itinerary asking if we wanted to modify or add any attractions. The day was filled with visiting every site available from visiting Santa Lucia Park which have the remains of the original Spanish fort to riding the Funicular to the top of San Christobal Hill to look out upon the entire city. A cable car ride down and a stroll thru an elegant neighborhood to the subway gave us a real taste of what it is to live in this city. We saw all the government buildings on our way to lunch at a restaurant by the local fish market. The lunch was absolutely the highlight of the day including a "Pisco Sour" (the national drink) and a meal fit for someone arriving after a long walk. This was followed up by a stop at a local bar/restaurant for our "terremoto" drink which was in an area off the tourist track which was fun and exciting. We always felt safe with Joseph as he was ever watchful and steered us away from any potential problems. The day ended back at our hotel, tired but elated with the experience. I would highly recommend this tour but bring comfortable shoes.
