Turistour

I’ve done the city tour, the Undurraga wine tour, Viña del Mar and Val Paraíso tour. The City tour with Marina was ok, although she bad mouthed all Brazilian people for Brazilians, the tour was ⁸⁄₁₀. She answered questions. The wine tour was with Emilina was nice because of her, was a disaster because we had pick up two Brazilians at their hotel. Therefore we got stuck in traffic. We arrived late at winery, the tour had already started. The wine guide spoke with speech problems, she didn’t speak naturally. I had the impression that she had memorized everything in advance. It didn’t sound natural. She lacked experience. During the wine tasting only one out of four was good. Emilina was nice to us. She was patient and kind. The Viña del Mar tour was with José. Honestly he doesn’t represent the company well. He is ironic, sarcastic, he makes fun of the clients in front of each other. As a tour guide myself, I’m obliged to say that he doesn’t follow the company’s guidelines. His English is not so good either.

Another tour company in Santiago. They visit the usual spots, valley colchagua for wine, Viña del mar and Valparaiso, la Isla Negra, and in the winter they have an all inclusive ski day. Turistour is a very commercial tour company, their guides are friendly yet their tour routes are very typical and don’t really offer anything extra/​special.
Their prices are a little more competitive compared to some of the other tour companies in Chile which is a bonus if you want to visit Conche y Toro vineyard or Valparaiso. They are not very flexible if you want something special or extra. This company is very much what you see if what you get. Also watch out for high season and low season prices which will sometimes mislead you.
They also offer a couple of walking tours in Santiago that go to the usual tourist spots, these are ideal if you want to explore the city on feet, or you can take their city tour which is by van transport.
