Nebr.cruiser Posted September 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 19, 2023 We have cruised from LA to Santiago before and are doing a similar cruise again in December. It's been 12 years, I think. For La Serena on our previous tour we took a shuttle to town, walked around and saw the sights. It was fine, but not spectacular. We'd like to do something different at this port this time. We do see tours to the Elqui Valley; unfortunately we are there on a Monday, when apparently some things are closed. The Princess shuttle to the city has gotten ridiculously high. I think $69pp. For those who have been there more recently what price would taxis into the city be? Or Uber? Were there tour operators offering tours dock side that could be booked that day? Thanks!

Rare GeorgeCharlie Posted September 19, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 19, 2023 We were in La Serena on Dec 05th last year, which was also on a Monday. We had pre-booked a tour with Turismo Cochiguaz Tours at a cost of US$65/person. We were the first larger cruise ship to visit since Covid, so they were having some issues getting up to speed, but overall the tour was okay. If you are interested, you can find more info on what we thought of the tour from the review we did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalibi Posted June 29 #5 Share Posted June 29 We were in La Serena in March of 2023. Many buses and taxis at the dock. We were on Princess, someone from Cruise Critic arranged the tour only 40.00 pp. Excellent tour of city, lighthouse, market. www.travelturismocochiguaz.cl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
