• 5great tour for a shore excusion

  We were met by our driver/guide right on time and where he said they would be. We were there on a Sunday. So the good news is there was no traffic, and no crowds at all. At times, it was like visiting a ghost town, which makes it hard to get a real feel for the city. But the operator has no control over that. It is a beautiful city. We did get to see what were the citys high lights. Guide was very knowledgable on the history of the city and country. Very enjoyable and would highly recommend.

• 5A wonderful day in Montevideo

  We had a wonderful time in Montevideo with our guide, Andres. He showed us the city in a friendly and hospitable way. The tour van was luxurious and very spacious. We saw the city’s main sights, tried traditional mate, and had a lunch with perfect Uruguayan asado and beef. I highly recommend this tour to all visitors of Montevideo. It is especially convenient for cruise passengers since it starts right from the port.

• 5Excellent city tour of Montevedio. Highly recommend

  Paulo was an excellent tour guide who was patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and excellent at providing the history of the city and Uruguay. His van was well-equipped, with excellent legroom for everyone. After four hours, I felt we had a much better understanding of the city, its people, and Uruguay's history. The pace was perfect for three seniors who are not particularly active. I would highly recommend this tour for a brief but excellent introduction to Montevedio.

About Montevideo

Montevideo is Uruguay's relaxed capital on the Río de la Plata, with an old-town peninsula, a long seafront promenade and a love of grilled meat.

Montevideo spreads along the north shore of the Río de la Plata, where the river is as wide as a sea. The Ciudad Vieja, the old town on a small peninsula, is where the city began in the 1720s, a district of Art Deco and colonial buildings. Plaza Independencia opens onto it, with the Palacio Salvo tower and the statue and mausoleum of José Artigas, the national hero, and the Teatro Solís, opened in 1856, stands nearby.

Top-ranked sights in Montevideo: Rambla of Montevideo (Rambla de Montevideo), Montevideo Independence Plaza (Plaza Independencia), Montevideo Port Market (Mercado del Puerto).
