We had an incredible time on the 10 Tastes of Santiago tour with Cristobal! We tried so many delicious local foods—sopaipillas, empanadas, completos, seafood stew, and more—and everything was fantastic. Cristobal was such a wonderful guide and even better company. He’s clearly passionate about his country, and we really enjoyed hearing his personal story and learning about Chilean culture through his eyes. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Santiago!Such a great afternoon with Cristobal!

Our private group. of 4 had a wonderful time exploring sights and tastes of Santiago. Two had been to Santiago many times but never had the occasion to see the historical parts and really enjoyed it. Cristobal is so knowledgeable about food, history and daily life in Chile. We usually go with Viator or Devour, but found WithLocals to be a great insider resource. One of us requested an unusual seafood at our Central Market meal and Cristobal made it happen. Also, the price was amazingly reasonable for everything we had to eat.A guide who makes Santiago come alive

Cristobal is was warm, engaging and insightful, and showed us where the locals shop in the Santiago markets - rather than where the tourists traditionally go. The food was delicious - exceptional coffee from a market vendor we would never have found - and the main meal reflected a Chilean local lunch - exactly what we wanted to experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour, and learnt a great deal about life in Santiago as well as enjoying the food. Great insights into local Santiago food

A great experience. Cristobal’s English was very good, the sampling of foods was extensive and be sure to go hungry!! We enjoyed walking the market, experiencing the sights and sounds of a typical shopping day of the locals and tasting the specialities of the region. We always go on food tours and this was one was top notch.Great way to taste the flavors of Chile

Cristobal was extremely accommodating. Our hotel was near enough to the tour area that he suggested meeting at our hotel. This meant that we could sit comfortably in the lobby until you were all gathered together, and he could give us an overview of the Food Tour. There were nine of us and that’s a lot. He gave us advice about how to conduct ourselves in a safe manner and asked one of us to be last and keep track of the group. Having said that, I felt that the area we were in was very safe.
The variety and quality of food was exceptional. I had made a list of foods that I wanted to try in Chile and the food tour covered nearly every one of them.
It’s difficult with such a large group, but Cristobal made a point of engaging each of us individually and answering any questions that we had.
Needless to say, we enjoyed the food and drinks very very much.
I highly recommend taking this food tour and, if he is available. Have Chrisobal conduct the tour.

We absolutely loved our tour with Cristobal. He was incredibly knowledgable about both the history of the city as well as local food producers.
It was great to explore a new area of the city with someone local.
Everything we ate was fantastic and it was great experience to try all the traditional food of the area from small local outlets.
Couldn’t recommend the tour more - especially as an introduction to Santiago. Thanks Cristobal!10 Tastings of Santiago

Thank you Cristobal for a great day in Santiago! We only had 36 hours in the city, and made the most of it by getting a tour, some history, culture, and of course lots of food. We were all stuffed and couldnt eat any more by the end. Learned a ton and had a fantastic time. What a great way to explore the city. Thank you!Fantastic Food Tour with Cristobal!

Cristobal knows a great deal about Santiago history and culture. During our three hours together he imparted lots of knowledge to us about Chile. We walked to the local fish market for ceviche, fish broth, and pictu sours. From there we went to a fast food joint for a completo. We enjoyed a sweet peach and wheat drink before having lunch of empanadas, corn pies and fried wheat bread. All yummy and authentic. A great finale to our time in Santiagowe walked, we ate, and we walked

We just completed a walking food and drink tour with Cristobal and he was great! He was very interesting to talk, he took us to some wonderful local restaurants that provided us with delicious food and drinks. He concentrated on local establishments not touristy places. His English is probably the best we have encountered in Santiago. All in all a great tour and value.Fantastic tour with Cristibal

Very good and informative tour with engaging and personable guide. We had a small breakfast first; clearly we should have had no breakfast (there is a lot of food). Personal favorites included Hot Dog Completo (I also wish we had room also for the Italiano) and the cold ginger ale and coffee drink.Excellent food tour in Santiago

We had a wonderful time with Cristobal on this food tour. It is a private tour so we were able to gain lots of knowledge from Cristobal and got to know him personally. We enjoyed lots of tastings (come very hungry) and discovering new parts of the city we perhaps would not have explored on our own. We will recommend this tour to everybody. Thank you Cristobal.Best Day Out

What a delightful — and delicious — introduction to the foods, markets and city of Santiago. Cristobal gave us a perfect sampling of traditional foods as we toured the markets we’d certainly not have known how to navigate on our own. From age 26 to 61, we enjoyed it all. Perfect pace, interesting variety and we felt we’d made real friends with a real local ♥️A true tasty treat

Cristobal was perfect for us. Thoughtful and engaging, he took us on our foodie tour, ever mindful of our pace and engagement. We went to places we probably would not have thought to go, which totally enhanced the experience. He gave us excellent suggestions about many things to see and do beyond the foodie realm as well.
Cristobal can "read the room" expertly. We felt very comfortable and continually enlightened about the amazing culture of Chile. Truly a new and local friend. Highly recommend.A new, local friend

After a bumbled meeting point - we were at the wrong spot - we ventured forth with Christobal. The food stops were all local and different, and we tried places we wouldn’t have found by ourselves. The recommended restaurants for dinner and lunch for our remarry were all excellent. Great time, great guide

Cristobal was great. My wife and I toured with him on our first day in Chile. We both feel lucky to have gotten a more local experience and general guide to Santiago so early in our trip. We appreciate as much immersion and insight into a country and its culture (as we can get as tourists), Cristobal's tour was really alligned with this. Great Experience!

My 2 buddies and I were in Santiago for a couple of days after our ski trip to Valle Nevado. We decided to sign up for the Food Tour with Cristobal since he spoke English. THE TOUR AND FOOD WERE FANTASTIC! Four stops included 2 meals and a snack stop and a coffee with sweets stop. We got to try foods we would not have been exposed to and everything was great. Cristobal is very accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great food experience and a guided walking tour all in one!!!!Don’t miss this!

Muy buen tour! Cristobal nos llevó caminado a distintos puntos de la ciudad donde no solo probamos comida local muy buena si no también vimos algunas áreas de Santiago que no habíamos recorrido. Nos gustó aprender un poco sobre historia de la ciudad y el país mientras degustábamos diferentes platos. También, Cristobal nos recomendó otros lugares donde comer para los días que nos quedaban en Santiago. Vale la pena
