Perfect Review for Melissa’s City Tour in Santiago de Chile (in English) We had an absolutely amazing experience exploring Santiago with Melissa! From the moment we met her, she was friendly, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history and culture. She tailored the tour to our interests and made sure we didn’t miss any of Santiago’s hidden gems. Melissa brought us to each neighborhood to life with fascinating stories and insights. Not only was she well-prepared and professional, but she also went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. Her enthusiasm was contagious. We wholeheartedly recommend Melissa to anyone looking for an unforgettable tour in Santiago. She is, without a doubt, one of the best guides we’ve ever had! Rating: 5/5 Stars!Excellent

Our group of 4 had an amazing day learning about and exploring Santiago with Amalia. She was knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, kind, funny and obviously very interested in sharing Santiago's history and Chilean culture with us. She took us to the hidden gems like La Moneda Cultural Center and Bellavista. Our day finished at Cerro San Cristobal - funicular up, gondola down and a surprise at the very end. You'll have to join Amalia to find out what it was!! Thank you for an incredible tour of your amazing city!!Incredible day with Amalia Melissa!

We were four of us in Santiago with one day to tour Santiago actually we had about five hours and I contact with local and was put in touch with Amelia to coordinate our tour of Santiago. We met up with her and immediately she started giving us some of the history and took us on a walking tour of all the important places and the market and the food and then we ended our day going up to the top of the mountain. I forget the name of the mountain. She was polite, courteous, and had lots of information to share with us and provided us with a lot of the history and made the five hours flyby before we knew it. I would highly recommend a tour with locals and with Amelia particular I truly enjoyed the day in fact, all four of us were very, very pleasedA great day in Santiago
