It is a semi-private or private tour with a native guide where you will discover the most famous places of Valparaíso located in the Unesco area. You will have time to visit art galleries, designer stores or even to enjoy coffee or ice cream. You will not be a number in a large group, but a new friend for us. Your guide will do his/her best to adapt the tour to your special interests. We try to make each tour special and personal, such as showing our hometown to family or friends.
This is one of the most interesting places in the city center, where you will see a variety of architectural styles, the most important monument of the Chilean Navy and a local craft market.
To close with a flourish, we finish our tour with the best panoramic view of the city, from a traditional promenade, where so many sailors made promises they never kept. Here you will find a craft fair and the National Maritime Museum. At the end of the tour, you can decide if you prefer to stay to enjoy the place for longer or return to the Sotomayor Square with your guide. We can also help you get an Uber or a taxi to go where you need it, be it your hotel, the bus terminal or a good restaurant for dinner.
The funiculars are one of the highlights of Valparaíso. This is the city with more of them worldwide. They are 2 small wooden cars that go up and down at the same time on diagonal rails, connected with a flexible steel cable, specially built to help local people and travelers to reach the hills. The Reina Victoria funicular was built in 1902 and it is the shortest and steepest funicular in Valparaíso, but don't worry, it's located right in front of the cemetery, just in case!
