Half day
One neighbourhood in depth. Deep walking and public transport.
4 hoursHow I work
Really simple, without complications
I'm a local private tour guide, born and raised in town. You contact me, hire me, and I show you around under a local perspective, telling you stories, showing you the city's special identity.
Walking through hidden lanes and colorful corners, visiting charming art studios, local galleries and local restaurants, taking public buses and funiculars, getting in touch with the people and the bohemian spirit of Valparaíso.
To be with a local is the best for a unique place like Valparaíso. Come and see it through my eyes — I'll translate my culture to you in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish.

What it looks like
Trolleybuses, funiculars, alleyways and the fishing cove
The logical route everyone takes, out of a sense of safety, is the street — leaving unexplored precisely the most interesting part. The illogical route in Valparaíso is exactly this: walking into the alleyways.
