(23 reviews)

2 to 4 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

Go beyond the typical city tour and discover the true soul of Santiago with a local expert from the LGBT+ community! This private walking tour is a deep dive into the heart of the city, blending major landmarks with the hidden stories of our queer history.

We'll explore the grand Plaza de Armas, see the La Moneda Presidential Palace, and wander the bohemian streets of the Lastarria and Bellas Artes neighborhoods. Along the way, your guide will share personal insights and stories you won't find in any guidebook, giving you a truly authentic perspective on the city.

The Pride Tours Difference:

This is a personal conversation, not a lecture. Hear the untold stories of Chile’s journey to equality and get an insider's view on the local culture.

We have meticulously built a safe and celebratory space where your only job is to be completely, authentically yourself. We take care of the rest.
