★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2,277 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $41

Review of the Cajón del Maipo tour from Santiago, with Andes views, El Yeso Reservoir, picnic, wine, mountain roads, and practical tips.

“Had an excellent time on this tour! Embalse el yeso is just so beautiful. We didn't mind all the other stops. (The coffee stop charges 5k per coffee cup, so we didn't buy.) The Choco House had amazing ice cream flavours. Our tour guide/driver was Francisco and he was a funny bloke who got us to our destinations safely. I like the fact that he didn't even ask for tips in the end. (He had to deal with a difficult passenger with a lot of attitude.) We enjoyed the added folkloric dancing in the end. Great value. 🌟👍 Get this tour and don't listen to the haters.”

5.Tourist bus around Santiago for a day

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,857 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $50

Review of Santiago’s red hop-on hop-off bus, with stop-by-stop tips, costs, timing, views, audio quality, and practical advice.

“Firstly, no information on specific pickup locations or times was provided as promised. I live here so could locate one by asking security at the MUI (stop 10). Good luck to foreign visitors that don't speak Spanish. Why they can't provide a map of stop locations online is beyond me. The contact phone number for the tour company didn't work. No one replied to requests for information after booking. My Viator ticket didn't work on board--staff promised to provide a different QR code, but never did. Once on board, it took nearly 15 minutes to get earphones and a map. Audio information is limited with awful hold music in-between blurbs.…”
