Know More about this tour
Take a 1.5-hour break from your tour to enjoy lunch (own expense). Next, ride through three of the dozens of Satiago parks. You will see the way Santiaguinos relate with parks and to how young people make use of them. After this green ride, visit a magnificent Cultural Centre, that once was the symbol of socialism in Chile and later turned into symbol of the Pinochet dictatorship.
After learning about the facts and events that led to the military coup, you'll ride downtown to the Government Palace for all the details on how the military took over the government, what happened during the dictatorship, and the repercussions for contemporary Chilean society.

NOTE: Due to a schedule change for another day trip I signed up for, I changed to do just the morning Life and Markets tour, so this review is for that experience:
Fantastic tour from start to finish. Very energetic and positive tour guides Thank you Kayla and Stephano!, clear explanations of what we were seeing, felt safer than I expected as they were very experienced and had two guides with our small group to ensure traffic was stopped as our group passed. Appreciated the friendliness and willingness to chat in depth about life in Chile in addition to what we were seeing. Definitely worth doing--nice, low key activity to start the day.

Our guide, Hector, did a great job taking us to interesting places. He made things interesting. Also repaired a flat tire on the fly for one of my kids. Full service! Bikes were very good. Friendly staff.

Fantastic full day tour with Hector! You will discover incredible hidden non-turistic places and street culture. I highly recommend both the tour and the guide
