What to expect
Your driver collects you from your accommodation and heads inland toward Santiago. The guide meets you there and spends roughly three hours walking you through the city's key sites, explaining layers of history as you go. You'll climb the Tower of Hercules for the views, then examine San Anton's defensive walls and learn how it functioned. The remaining hours are yours—some opt for a café break, others wander the old town. You're dropped back at your hotel by early evening. The pace is leisurely; this isn't a sprint.
