To make sure everyone has a good experience on our tours, we aim to keep groups small. In our experience, big groups can compromise the tour quality. To be fair to all of our customers, we ask groups of over 8 to reserve a private tour or contact us on [email protected], besides that when large groups are expected we aim to have enough staff to provide the best possible experience.

TOUR ITINERARY

BELLAS ARTES MUSEUM 15:00 Hrs

[3:30pm]
After introductions, we head around the corner to Bellas Artes where you will see some of Santiago’s most symbolic street art.. A few stops before we hit up Plaza De Armas where you will learn more about the street dogs and what makes Santiago tick.

PLAZA DE ARMAS 16:00 Hrs

We weave amongst the smell of completos and games of Chess being played as we get to know the Plaza De Armas. Remember to look up when we are in the church- the ceilings are a work of art!

LA MONEDA 16:30 Hrs

You will find many opportunities to take photos on our way to La Moneda, so make sure you’re battery is all charged up! Listen to your guide discuss the 1973 military coup with a backdrop of La Moneda Presidential Palace. TripAdvisor user Lucas S described Wally’s description of the coup. When Wally was “talking about controversial history in a respectful and balanced way I never felt like he was trying to make me feel one way or another. Instead, it felt like he was covering both sides of a very polarized issue and letting me decide how I felt for myself.”

GAM 17:00 Hrs

After a quick metro ride (don’t worry, if you haven’t used the metro before we’ll teach you!) we arrive at the GAM Cultural Center. This center is a local favorite hangout spot, full of life and also full of history.

LASTARRIA 17:30 Hrs

We finish up our tour in the beautiful and hip Lastarria neighborhood, with your Wally guide making sure you have plenty of good recommendations of where to grab a bite and more cool things to do the rest of your stay in Chile.
