6 Hour Tour of Culture, History and Flavors from Santiago
Things to know
About the Activity
Following progressive tours philosophy we decided to extend from 4 to 6 hours the Santiago city tour. With an unrushed execution we're able to enjoy the spots properly (example: tasting the flavors on the markets INSTEAD OF JUST PASSING THROUGH the "mercado central") In that way we'll cover more essential places that are important places to be able to understand, enjoy and get a little more lf the vibe of our city.6 hours
