Leave Santiago for the serene central Chilean coast on this 8-hour guided tour. In a small group of no more than eight, visit Isla Negra, home to what is possibly the most interesting of the poet Pablo Neruda's three Chilean homes, filled with art and artifacts collected on his numerous world travels. Continue north up the coast to visit San Alfonso del Mar and the traditional town of Pomaire, known its clay craftworks. This service can be on shared transportation with a maximum group of 7 persons per vehicle.

Our (private) guide Alex was great. Very communicative. Did not care about time. Simply wanted us to have a perfect day.

Such a fantastic experience! We saw and learned so much! Luis and Becky made it such an embracing experience. More like good friends than guides.

Great guides! They gave a Chile class, very attentive and took us to some really cool places… highlighting lunch in a village with typical food.

They never contacted me with pick up info. Never replied to my numerous calls and messages and left us waiting. The trip never happened!! Avoid them!

An excellent trip! I had a great time chatting with Luis, the guide and driver. He told me about the changes in Santiago during and after COVID and how he thinks it affected daily life. As for Isla Negra, the house is beautifully maintained and has a lot of fun, quirky aspects to it. (La Chascona is another quirky Neruda house in Santiago.). Pomaire is a nice little place to see ceramics, one pound empanadas, and pastel de choclo (chicken and beef pie with corn bread crust).

There were no memorable parts, unfortunately. I had deliberately--at some cost--extended my stay in Santiago JUST to take this trip, and the morning of the trip I waited 1-1/2 hours for a pickup which never came. After continually trying to contact the tour operators, I enlisted the help of my hotel staff, only to learn, several hours later, that the trip had been cancelled. My tour fee is being refunded, but the additionally costs I bore as a result of extending my stay for this tour, of course, were not.

Luis was great! He was so nice and knowledgeable. He really watched out for us. He even checked the weather for us to see if we needed a jacket. He was so thoughtful and made our tour amazing! We were treated like family. I would recommend him as a tour guide to everyone. The tour was fun also.

Inexperienced English speaking tourist guide. There is not a lot of history was told to our group about the tour. The tour guide and the driver were very nice.
