The following are our 3 walking tours...
Back-to-Back Tour
Street Art & Street Food Tour
|
There is something blatantly wrong with how we're doing things as a country.
When a new traveler comes here, we try to present this very fancy, very chic, very stylish type of restaurant, but Chile isn't known for that – we're known for other things, such as home-cooked meals, British-style high tea, and, of course, a wide diversity of street food that we inherited from the multiple cultures that have lived in our country for over a hundred years. Most people who come out here try to eat and drink local stuff, and most of the locals are going to point you in the direction of a Pisco Sour. Or maybe you get lucky, and a local tour guide tells you about our infamous “Sopaipillas” (pumpkin bread whose oil expiration does not have an accurate date). But the reason we're in business as a tour company is because we've never done what's expected for tourists. So, we have created this route where we take you to the real local spots to eat, and in between, we just look at all the amazingly powerful street art of Santiago. |
Meeting Point in front of La Moneda
|
We like to think of ourselves as those friends from Santiago who, when you travel here, aren't going to steer you wrong and won't send you up the river for one of El Dave’s burgers and the "oh-so-real" commisioned street art of Las Condes; However, we’re such good friends, that you decide to slip us a little envelope with cash (amount described below) so that we can continue doing this for more of your friends when they come out here... and also, use that money to go to the internal revenue service to hand a big slice over to them, so we don't end up in jail
You need to take the back to back tour.
Street art and Street Food. No lies. No cries (unless you eat with dirty hands and get food poisoned).
What do we eat? Well, Chilean street food, such as Completos, Churascos, Sopaipillas, Pizza Chilena (we invented it).
How many stops? 3 (THREE) on the Group tour / 4 (FOUR) on the Private Tour. In between we talk street art and Graffiti Truths.
How much food is involved? This is Chile, partner. We don't microdose meals. We eat like hungry warriors who just finished battling in 300bc.
Can I share my foor with so-and-so? Yes. You can. You can do whatever you want with it, You can take it home and wait until it gets soggy. It's up to you.
We might visit an urban art gallery (depends if they are there), where you can talk to some artists, ask them questions or simply hang out and have a laugh or two.

Classic Bellavista Neighborhood Tour
Graffiti & Urban Art Tour
|
This is the traditional tour which covers the unique pieces of art and architecture of bellavista, as well as some other interesting facts that the locals tell us (Like when Mrs. Maria Cecilia was seen talking closely to Mr. Dagoberto, whose mustache is considered to have a life of its own).
We want to show you the best of the area, as this may be the very epicenter of urban art in Chile. You'll see works from the Chilean pioneers, BRP; you'll also see some stuff by amazing artists like Kode, Matiz, Coas, Aislap, Crazis, Cub2, Zewok, Azukar & Pium, Raíz 2012k, Fusa, Faya, RWDS, Piguan, and many more. Once you see this area, you'll go home and dream about the street art for weeks. You might even have to get a psychologist to check you out and professionally beat the street art tour out of your head. ... or you might snap a few pics and show them to your friends back home like "Yeah, I was in Chile. Santiago was pretty cool -- Look". Specs |

"Urban Legacy": Barrio Yungay - City & Street Art Tour
History of Santiago & Urban Art Tour
|
Barrio Yungay is the first neighborhood in Santiago, yet, most of the people who visit Santiago, miss out on this awesome neighborhood, so we created this tour to make sure you don't... umm... miss out on this... awesome neighborhood (why else would we create it?).
So, we meet up at the upper platform of Metro Quinta Normal, next to the Cristo Pobre Sanctuary, and we begin our route by telling you about the foundation of the neighborhood (in a very non-boring way), and then we get down to business -- you'll see some much street art and graffiti, that your friends who didn't join you will say: "I wish I would have joined you". Anyway, this tour is awesome (according to us); it has a lot of heritage included in it; a lot of history of the neighborhood; juicy politics; economy, etc, and it's not just a tour where you go and take pictures, it tells you so much about the non-touristy santiago, and living in a Neighborhood as important as this one.
