Colonia was amazing. The reason for this rating is the guide. He informed us he was a glorified driver for the day and had little to no knowledge of Colonia and its heritage. These tours are guide dependent and the guide we had was not a guide.
Worth It

Marcella was a good guide who did know English. In fact, she spoke too fast, probably because she had to say everything in three languages.
The stop at Granja Colonia was a hoot with the silly collections. Yes, a tourist trap, but isn’t that a part of travel? Maybe they could offer a quick demo about how their products are made or even just a quick presentation of the products. They might sell more, too.
Seeing the bull ring was nice but really no need to stop and get off there. The bus drove around so we did get to see it.
The old town definitely has an old European vibe and a lot of history. There were inexpensive choices for things to see. Plenty of relaxed places to eat, too.
My hotel was in Carassco, so I was one of the first picked up and last dropped off and had to change from the van to the big bus on the way, but it was nice to have the door to door service. Wouldn’t be a problem if your hotel was near the central square and the port.
Overall, it was worth the money and a good way to see more of Uruguay.
Fantastic tour!
