• 5Colonia, Montevideo y Punta del Este

  We were a group of 12 (including 5 kids) visiting Uruguay for the first time, and Andrés made our trip unforgettable! He greeted us at the Buquebus with a warm welcome, shared his deep knowledge of Uruguay, and made us feel at home right away. From Colonia to Montevideo and Punta del Este, every stop was well planned—The drive to Cerro San Antonio with Fito Páez playing in the background, a countryside estate with the Pencil Museum and delicious local honey and cheese, breathtaking Casa Pueblo, beach time, “La Mano” photos, and feeding sea lions at the pier. Andrés handled every detail, from lunch reservations to answering all our questions, always with kindness and professionalism. By the end, he felt more like a friend than a guide. 100% recommended!

• 5Professional guide and driver.

  Really enjoyed our time with Andres. He was punctual, friendly, informative and gave us all the time we needed. We did a 1 day tour to Punta de Este and a transfer to Colonia out of Montevidello. He always pointed out interesting things along the way. It was just 2 of us but had a very nice, modern, clean van. Would hire him again if we visited.

• 5Punta Del Este

  During our recent holiday in Montevideo, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our private day tour to Punta Del Este, provided by Jaime Gutierrez Castro. Acting as driver, guide, and companion, Jaime’s friendly persona, wit, and knowledgeable insights enhanced the excursion. His flexibility to tailor fit the tour for us made for a wonderful day.

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).
