      Glen_B, Feb 2024
      The city is amazingly clean, beautiful and comfortable. Our guide, Beatrice was brilliant and accommodating. Adrian was an excellent driver. Montevideo is a must see place. The ferry ride is smooth and quiet, except in the evening the kids are energized... A long day, but worth it!

      This was our first time in South America and heard much about Uruguay. Very bit of what our friends said was true! Our guide, Maria was wonderful and very knowledgeable about the country and the city we visited. This is a must tour for anyone who wants to see some of Uruguay’s cities!
      : A Fascinating Journey Through Montevideo's Rich Tapes
      Li_Z, Jan 2024
      Our private tour from Buenos Aires to Montevideo was an enriching experience that surpassed our expectations. The travel agency arranged everything including pickups and drop offs and kept in constant communication with us. Our guide Brigitte's profound knowledge of the city allowed us to traverse every neighborhood, unveiling the captivating layers of Montevideo's history, culture, and more. Eight hours of private tour of sharing insights and anecdotes breathed life into each street and landmark, creating an immersive journey for us. I highly recommend this trip.
      Great day in Montevideo!
      JUSTIN_S, Jan 2024
      My friend and I selected this tour for our first trip ever to Uruguay. Our tour guide, Beatriz, was absolutely wonderful. Bea had a great sense of humor and was exceptionally pesonable. You could tell Bea was passionate about her job and loved her country. We really enjoyed our time in Montevideo and got to really appreciate Uruguay. I absolutely want to come back and visit again in the future.
      Highly recommend

      Tomo_Y, Oct 2023
      Entire tour was just amazing. fan, professional, engaged, it’s about “travel like local” what I wanted. Tour guide - Patricia - was fantastic. very packed agenda to try seeing different faces of city and satisfied. I give definitely 5.0 star. only pity was I forgot to take a photo in front of “Montevideo” monument but I will come back 😉
      A long day and expensive tour that’s definitely worth the time and money
      Thomas_W, Sep 2023
      This is a higher priced excursion and it was actually the most expensive of our 10 day vacation. Having said that, it was worth the money. We had an on-time hotel pickup in a nice private car. Our ferry ride was excellent but did arrive 30 min behind schedule. Our tour guide was waiting for us right outside the ferry’s building and was not at all stressed about our late arrival. We had a comfortable private car with an excellent safe driver, Martin (he is a driving instructor and therefore very safe!). We thought we were only getting a three hour tour but that is not the case - they toured us around for almost 7 hours with a break for lunch. We saw so much and learned a lot about the history and present issues of Montevideo as well as all of Uruguay. We were dropped off timely for the return shuttle and driven back to our hotel by the same excellent driver. This is a long day as we started a 7am and retuned at 10 pm but the time went quickly as there was so much to see. We loved this tour.
      Great tour of Montevideo
