Nikhita: Excellent experience !

Manfred was wonderful! We hired him to drive us throughout the day in wine country (Maipo and Isla de Maipo) outside of Santiago. He was prompt, kind , and by the end of the day we had so much fun getting to know him. He was flexible with us and never made us feel like a bother when we asked for a spontaneous pit spot at an empanada place we were recommended, or when one of our wine tours went long. He went above and beyond; he even offered to take photos of us and when an English guide cancelled last minute for a wine tour stepped in unasked to translate for us. We felt super safe in his car and will def be sharing his info with any friends and family coming to Chile! 10/10
