Hi! I'm Sergio. I've been a tour guide for 5 years, but I still feel like every tour is like my first one. I believe a walking tour is not only about dates or names of buildings and statues, but about discovering what these places tell us about the history and culture of a city, so as a guide this is what I like to study and share with tourists. My tours are a mixture of facts and anecdotes to make you learn and enjoy yourself at the same time.

The tour passes through the main historical and iconic sites in the Center of Santiago. Sérgio talks about the history of Chile and Santiago from the arrival of Valdivia to the present day.

O tour foi maravilhoso. Um passeio pela história do Chile que é também a história de nós brasileiros, somos latino-americanos. O guia, Sérgio Ribeiro, muito capaz em todos as dimensões: muito conhecimento histórico, total noção do espaço urbano de Santiago, com boa oratória (ser em inglês não atrapalhou nenhum pouco), com comentários do cotidiano que deixou o passeio muito agradável.
