Hello! My name is Alex and I am an international tourism professional. I have been in the tourism sector for 21 years and 8 years in Chile. I have returned after doing tours in Cuba and visiting Panama. I am a traveler like you but I am also a guide in several destinations. I worked for 20 years in a German travel agency, PhD in 2009, MBA in International Tourism since 2022, speaker at courses, events and lecturer at universities and institutes on tourism, I never lose the passion for traveling and sharing. On this occasion I take you through the paths and stories of Valparaíso and Viña del Mar, wonderful cities on the central coast of Chile. I have previously lived in Weiden in der Oberpfalz, Munich, Caracas, Havana, Panama City, La Paz and Mexico City. I have been living in Valparaíso since 2016 and in Viña del Mar since 2023. With your contribution, you help me take my way of doing tours to other cities such as: Tokyo, Seoul, Mallorca, Montreal, Oslo, Stockholm, London, Sydney, Vancouver, California, Hamburg and New York, where new adventures await me. Thanks to the invitation from international clients, partners and operators to continue travelling, learning and sharing with you. If you see me somewhere else in the world, you can say hello to me because it's me :) With your contribution, you encourage me to continue travelling, connecting and sharing in different places around the world.
Our tour was good, too heavily focused on history and associated details for me but others like that. Once we got to exploring I enjoyed it a lot. We booked a tour with Alexander but our guide was Benjamin. I was frustrated by this as I had intentionally booked Alexander. When the guide is highlighted in the booking it is unacceptable to change the guide without notice.
The route is good. Make sure you get Alexander and not Benjamin as tour guide.
Alex was enthusiastic, informative and a very great guide for the tour. We had good stops, surprises and perfect recommendations! I can only recommend him. Hew really knows what he does!
