    Not good!
    andor, Jan 2024
    This is the first time I write a poor review. It is not based on our wonderful tour conductor María, but on how poor the tour selections were made by the operator. Let’s start with nobody should be subjected to a tour like this in one day! Both ship journeys were substantially delayed, with long immigration lines, and no service. The day started at 0545 pickup and ended at midnight. After arriving past 11:30am to Montevideo and were shuffled into a bus, we were shown a couple of places. Maria the conductor was the only thing nice of this tour. We spent two hours at lunch (average food). Then we proceeded to few more places to visit. Last, they dropped us of for a 1.5 hours stop to a mall! So a total of 3.5 hours wasted which we could have used to visit more sites. We were dropped off at 5:30pm at the port and waited until almost 8:00pm to depart. Then waited an hour to cross immigration. So for a total of 5.5 hours in Montevideo, only 2 ish hours were related to touring the city. And a total of 17 hour day! You do the math. Bottom line, you need at least one overnight in Montevideo. By the way, I had no idea we were stopping so long for lunch or shopping at all. Paid over $300USD. Not good.

    Hi, thank you for posting a review. It will certainly help other travelers. Migration system has been experiencing problems these last weeks that is why the delayed outside our company and that is why you were dropped off with enough time at port after the tour. Best regards, Carlos
    Could have been better.
    David_R, Oct 2023
    The transfer to and from the hotel was excellent. The boat passage was good as can be expected. The tour guide was okay. Restaurant for lunch mediocre. Bus was fine. The choice of shopping at a mall at the end was poor. Should have been at a place more unique to Uruguay.

    Pocas tiempo para lo interesante mucho para lo vanal
    Jorge_G, Mar 2024
    Un recorrido a toda prisa por Montevideo para luegoo tener tiempo y quedar apalancados 2 horas en un centro comercial, cosa que hay en todas las ciudades del mundo. Recomendación: usar Buquebús sí para viajar de Buenos Aires a Montevideo, pero hacer la visita turística con otra compañía. Mi recomendación para Buquebús: dedicar más tiempo a los distintos puntos interesantes de la ciudad, omitir El Fogón por completo y que la hora de comida sea en el shopping mall.

    Hola Jorge, gracias por su opinión. Con certeza nos ayudará a mejorar los servicios. Sds, Carlos.
    schöner Ausflug nach Uruguay
    Nadine_F, Mar 2024
    sehr interessant, die Reiseleitung machte die Führung auch in englisch für mich. Die anderen Reisenden sprachen leider alle nur spanisch. Daher konnte man sich mit denen nicht austauschen. Aber das ist ja in Südamerika leider üblich. Was zu sehen war war sehr schön und interessant. Hat mir gut gefallen.
