We took this tour and it was wonderful. We got access to very beautiful and local places, making the most of our time during the day. We discovered some very cool spots in Valparaiso and also visited Viña del Mar. We ate at typical places away from the crowds and had a fantastic boat ride.
Additionally, we visited a vineyard at sunset with delicious wines and the most beautiful view I’ve seen in Chile. I highly recommend it. Moreover, the guide is very professional, attentive, and polite. He shares interesting insights throughout the trip, making it very enriching.

An AMAZING Tour! This trip gives you a real and unforgettable experience, totally different from the usual tourist routes.
We started with a van ride around the city, stopping at places with awesome views.
Next, we took a lovely walk through the charming streets of Valparaíso. We explored cool spots that aren't usually on the tourist map, letting us dive deep into the local culture. Daniel, our guide, showed us around to typical hangouts where we chatted with locals, met artists, and even made friends with the friendly street dogs.
The tour with Daniel is more than just regular sightseeing. He introduced us to people, stories, and places that truly capture the heart of Valparaíso. We picked out where to eat and had plenty of time to chill and enjoy each stop.
The experience wrapped up with a boat ride giving us a fresh view of the city, and finally, a visit to a super charming winery. Plus, Daniel took some fantastic photos along the way with his keen eye.
I HIGHLY recommend this tour. The spots we visited were perfect, and Daniel's company made the trip even better. He shared so much about the history, geography, politics, culture, and traditions of the area, making the tour both fun and educational.
This tour is a one-of-a-kind experience, perfect for anyone who wants to see Valparaíso beyond the usual tourist attractions. Every second is worth it, offering a genuine dive into the soul of the city.

It is hard to describe all the details about the trip with Daniel. First of all, let’s with Daniel the tour guide and owner of Progressive. He is just the nicest guide you will ever get to meet. He knows everyone (even the street dogs and cats) and he will introduce you to everyone. While we were in Valparaíso Daniel even stopped at the local artists home so we could get to meet them. Theese people art are all over Valparaíso and we could even get to meet them. Just amazing!
So, about the tour, if you are one of those who just don’t care or don’t want to hear about the local culture and just want to take selfies at the city points to post on Instagram, this Tour is not for you.
Our first stop was at a road restaurant to drink some coffee and eat “Manjar”, also known as Dulce de Leche in another parts of South America. Afterwards, before we arrived in Valparaiso, we made a quick tour in Viña del Mar instead of going to the Navy Museum so we could hear a bit more about conflicted history of birth from Viña del Mar and Valparaiso.
After stopping at a local square in Valparaíso, Daniel tooked us uphill where we got off the Van and started a tour walking down the hills, visiting local shops, seeing the local culture through the street art and artists, talking to the local dogs and sightseeing just the best places in Valparaiso.
The tour takes you also to the known parts of the city, but the best part are the places that the big agencies don’t go. But Daniel takes you there. We saw espetacular places that we never knew existed in Valparaiso in a very chill, still full of knowledge tour. We were able to see every place with enough time to do whatever was best at the moment, but still in time to see every little special spot that only the locals know (Daniel included).
Apart from that, Daniel were so thoughtful and took pictures from us the whole trip with his own phone camera (which has one of the best cameras i’ve seen).
He also even helped us with tips to places in Santiago and i’m sure he will be there for you too if you need anything. You cant be in better company!

Dan was a superb guide! He showed so much knowledge of the culture around Valparaiso and Chile in general and that gave us a much needed background understanding of what we would see in Valparaíso. It feels like you're taking a stroll around with long-time friend who knows all about the town. No rush, no specific restaurant that you have to eat (like many tours), just an easy going, free and fulfilling experience.
I recommend this tour for anyone looking for a more profound dive in the Valparaíso scenario instead of a shallow touristic tour where you almost always feel like you're constantly being rushed around spots in town. Dan is an amazing guy, and he knows every little street, local artists, even street dogs and cats, which are a lively and important part of the town, to be honest. This tour feels like the most complete experience we could've had, and the boat ride felt like a fascinating icing on the cake. If you have a chance, you can't miss this! Oh, and Dan is also an excellent photographer, which really helps you enjoy the ride not worrying about photos since you know that you have him taking amazing pictures of you and your friends/partner/family all along the way!

Daniel gave us one of the best experiences that we had in Chile. We did a privet tour and got to know the most beautiful places in Valparaiso, where no other tour went. The experience is a must if you want to get to know the story of the country and also good art and good food. Daniel is a plus. He gave us the tour according to our preferences and what we wanted to know about the city.

I did this tour four days ago and I absolutely loved it! Just like the sky in Atacama Desert, if I could, I’d give Dan zillions of stars!
Valparaiso is such a stunning city!
Our tour guide Dan was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, friendly showing the city in details for us,
and also took heaps of (great quality) photos of us! Honestly, superb experience!!!
The tour started with conversations about Chile, its culture, people, history… without noticing the time, we had a very first stop in a lovely typical desert shop on the way to Valparaiso! We had a delicious coffee and some treats there (and great chats with locals running the place)! Back on the road, more laughs and great chats until we arrived in Valpo (I learned from Dan that that’s how they call it here ☺️).
We spent several hours walking in the city! There’s art everywhere! So many incredible walls, lanes, etc… and, extremely safe!
Dan knows everyone. Everyone knows Dan! He is truly connected and passionate about the place! His love for Valpo is contagious!
He also knows the beautiful and well looked after stray dogs there (which I loved to watch his respect and love for them all).
Back to the tour experience, we got a chance to explore the fantastic streets of the city in a very comfortable pace. No rush. No stress. This tour was memorable! Dan showed us great places to eat, to buy some art (directly from local artists), organised a boat tour for us, and even brought us to a beautiful winery on the way back to Santiago.
I can’t recommend this tour enough! Valparaiso is a must-see and Dan is the best guide for it! 5/5!

Dan was an absolute legend of a tour guide. His English was totally fluent (important to me as unfortunately I don’t speak Spanish) and his knowledge of Chile and Valparaiso was impressive. I learnt so much from him, including about the Indigenous people of Chile. Dan took us to see the best street art, cafes and picturesque alleyways. In doing so you could see how much he is known and loved by the locals (including the canine variety). The icing on top of the cake was that he turned out to be a phenomenal photographer and took some great photos of me and my partner that we will cherish forever. You will be hard pressed to find a better guide! Don’t think twice.
