It's a great tour, being able to appreciate the history and architecture of other areas of Valparaiso that are not so touristy. The lifestyle of the population. Also an area with a lot of history and beautiful views of the entire city and the port. The guide Diego was great, very knowledgeable and very attentive to everything. 100% recommended.

Es un tour genial, poder apreciar la historia y la arquitectura de otros sectores que no sean tan turísticos de Valparaíso. El estilo de vida de la población. También una zona con mucha historia y vistas hermosas de toda la ciudad y el puerto. El guía Diego genial, muy entendido y muy atento a todo. Recomendado 100%. Translate this opinion into English.

At first it kind of started on the wrong foot, since I booked an English tour as a Flemmish speaking Belgian, and the tour was in French ... (Note for the supplier, not all Belgians speak French and language is an issue ...) The guide Jonathan was a super guide, it was very interesting, he showed us special places,places not known by tourists and we had interesting conversations. The suggested restaurant Doris was fantastic, and it was a pitty that Doris was closed on sundays :)
