From Valparaiso, Chile to Santiago, have a few hours to sightsee before our flight, any suggestions?

We will be getting off the Celebrity Infinity in March. The ship docks at 5am. Our flight home is at 7:30pm. There are 3 disembarkation excursions offered by the ship but all of them require the flight leaving Santiago after 9pm. So that won't work for us. If we leave the ship and go to the airport right after, we would be sitting around waiting for hours. Is there any local company that we can hire for a private tour for maybe 5 or  6 hours to do some sightseeing until mid afternoon before dropping us at the airport. We have to think about the security of leaving all our luggage in the trunk of the car when we step out of the car to visit a site. Not to mention if something goes wrong, we would be really messed up not getting to the airport on time. Does anyone have any suggestion of how to get a few hours of sightseeing in before going to the Santiago airport to catch our flight. We have never been to Santiago or the Chile coast before so we would like to see at least a bit of it. Staying an extra night is not an option though because the next day the flights available are all very indirect and a lot more expensive. Thanks for any suggestions in advance.

You might try this company.  We have them booked for a transfer from the airport to the port when we arrive in Chile.   They were very responsive to questions.  I found them referred on this board.

We just returned from a cruise which visited San Antonio and we used Philipp with San Antonio Tours. We found Philipp to be very good, plus flexible with his tour arrangements. I understand he provides day tour/transfers, so he may be able to arrange something which fits your schedule.
