Culture shock rating
Worried we’re going to shock your senses? Relax! We believe part of the fun of travel is immersing yourself in the destination and its culture, meeting the people, and learning what makes the place tick. We’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The cultural shock rating ranks how different the experience is from most Western cultures. But no matter the level, don’t worry, you’ll have a local, in-the-know guide with you every step of the way.
Low
Consider these tours your 101 intro to a place. Transportation might be private or a very comfortable public option, and the activities are usually visits to iconic sites and locations that are familiar to most Western cultures – but that will still give you fantastic insight into a destination.
Medium
Expect to rough it for parts of this tour, whether that’s on a packed public bus or in a local market off the tourist trail. There might be a few language barriers or unfamiliar cultural customs, and you’ll get an experience different from what you're used to at home.
High
You're out there in the global community! We’re going to take you down streets you’d rarely explore on your own, introduce you to local customs and languages, and take you for a ride in whatever transport is available. Get ready to take it as it comes, whatever comes. There might be a shock, but oh man, it’s worth it.
Physical rating
Worried our tours are too tough? Relax! From leisurely strolls to muscle-burning treks, we’ve got a wide range of tours with something for everybody. The physical grading gives you an idea of how much huffing and puffing you can expect on the tour.
Low
Slow and steady is all you need here. These tours have very limited physical activity, such as walking relatively flat streets, sites, or markets, and climbing in and out of the transport provided.
Medium
Not too hard, not too soft, these tours are just right! You can expect a bit of physical activity, but nothing overly challenging – perhaps walking up and down hills, riding a bike for up to 30 kilometers along mostly flat terrain, or jumping in a kayak for a gentle paddle on flat water.
High
Get ready for a workout! These tours are our most challenging and involve intense walking, hiking, kayaking, swimming, or bike riding. You could be making steep climbs by foot or pedal, or working your core in the water. We recommend you have a good level of fitness to join this tour.

Your tour will begin in one of the most famous squares in Valparaíso where you’ll admire a monument to a Chilean hero from history, Arturo Prat. Moving on, your first stop is a local venue belonging to entrepreneurs who want to improve the face of a neighborhood that has been stigmatized for years, and the atmosphere and design of this bar have achieved that goal. This is a cool, modern place to try some great local beer or other drinks and some delicious finger food.
Next, take a stroll around the city to discover its impressive architecture and learn about Valparaiso’s heritage and current status as the cultural capital of Chile. Valparaiso also has a first-class street art pedigree and you’ll pass some marvelous murals as you make your way to the next stop.
The country’s most famous cocktail is next. The Pisco Sour has been quietly taking the world by storm in recent years, popping up on cocktail menus from San Francisco to Seoul. But tonight you will taste the real thing, from the country where it originates!
To get to your final stop, hop on a trolley bus, a delightfully traditional form of public transport that can only be found in Valparaiso. Your destination is one of the city’s best bars where you’re going to try some authentic local drinks: orgoña or Terremoto. The former is a type of Chilean sangria, while the latter is made with white wine and pineapple ice cream.
Your tour ends here but feels free to stay on and enjoy a few more drinks and the live music, or ask your guide for more bar and restaurant recommendations to help you continue your night on the town!-
