Post cruise transfer and tour--Valp to Santiago

[CarolynS]

We will dock in Valpariso and stay a couple of days in Santiago (Star Princess, 12/22/09-1/5/10). What are the options for transfer to Santiago? Is it possible to combine a tour with transfer to a hotel in Santiago? Does any one know of a good guide?

We used Christian, The Van man, christianroymx@hotmail.com. He is a great guide and if he is busy that day he can probably set you up with someone else.:)

One of the things you can do which is what we did is transfer winetour. The casablanca valley is in between valparaiso and santiago. We used Michael from London michael@winetoursvalparaiso.cl

 

Great tour, reasonable price and native English which is a plus.

 

Its still a shame you cant spend more time in Valparaiso its a lovley city.

We went last November and I agree, we also highly recommend toursby michael. He was great.

I believe that the best idea is to make a transfer/tour. In order to be able to render the time and to know others places.

My husband and I traveled in the Crown in 2006; we made our transfer with www.enaturchile.com. The cost was less that portCompass, and highly recommended by other tourists. In the route we visited a vineyard, we made a trip for Valparaiso, it is an interesting city with a harbor atmosphere and with many hills. We made one stop and we saw the city from the heights, it was a beautiful landscape. Our driver and guides gave the opportunity to visit the house of the Chilean Poet Pablo Neruda (museum) was something of our interest.

Vina del Mar; is clean, very tourist, modern and beautiful city. You cannot let visit this city. We had a pleasant lunch with food of the sea; this company could please all our requests

Good luck!!
