First time in Montevideo - This was a brilliant guided tour with Paola and driver Alviro. Message on the morning about where to meet, several stops where we got out and walked around with useful information about the area. She coped well with my husband’s wish for shopping and could help with questions to the stall holders. We got to see annual ceremony changing guard. Views from top of City Hall were incredible. Got to see so many ch of old and new part. Ate at indoor market and tried local food which we would not have done by ourselves Highly recommend this tour

A day to remember! - We had a perfect day in Montevideo with a local. This tour is a highlight of our trip and honestly one of the best we have ever had! Fabio is very knowledgeable about history and sights but more impressive is his ability to share the warmth of the people. He even went up to perfect strangers sitting on a bench who were drinking mate and asked them to share what the beverage means to them. We will be back soon!

A day to remember! - A perfect day in Montevideo! We can not express our gratitude enough to Fabio for showing us his city. He is extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city. Also we were able to get a true sense of the culture and kindness of the people. He even introduced us to locals and we were able to discuss the ritual of mate with them. It is one of those days we will remember for ever!

Ah, the wine, the bar-b-que at Tannat and the company! - Sergio and Ramon showed us their Montevideo! From the view of the city from the top (city hall) to the many ‘neighborhoods’ that make up the city. We were thoroughly entertained, experienced a fabulous lunch at Tannat and enjoyed our stroll back to the port. Thanks guys!

Private and personal guided tour from a real local - Private tour guide gave a customized trip around the city showcasing all the history and particular insights from having actually lived there his whole life. He detoured around crowded tourist spaces and focused on the real, lived experience of not only the cultural history but his own place of interest and our special requests to visit and spend more or less time in each place as meeting with our personal interests.

Lovely Day in Montevideo - Fabio provided a very complete insightful tour of the entire city. Though out the day our relaxed conversations were full of knowledge and love for his city and country. Language was not a problem. Highly recommend spending the day with such a pleasant, enjoyable guide.

Enjoy your own guide for a day, with new friends. - A wonderful way to experience Montevideo at your own pace, with your own guide, in the most convenient way. Paola is an excellent companion and “translator” of Montevidean/Uruguayan culture and history. Her English is excellent, and our driver Alvaro could not be more friendly and accommodating. They immediately put you at ease and you get to see so much of Montevideo, from the expected tour stops to “off the beaten track” areas, all as little/or as much as you want. We highly recommend this family business tour company.

Great guide in Montevideo. - My husband uses a collapsible mobility school that fits in most cars. Our guide, Favio, was very helpful in loading and unloading it, and then helping my husband into the car.. delightful time seeing the sites of Montevideo with a very caring individual.

Excellent from beginning to end - Can’t say enough about Paola and Favio. They are a team! Communication before the tour was great. Paola was our guide and talk about informative and educated! She and her driver moved us through Montevideo smoothly and efficiently. All her stories were on point, relative and she spoke excellent English! She adjusted our timing so we would have enough time to treat her to lunch. If you’re on a cruise ship and only in port for the day I highly recommend them. You will walk away not wanting to say goodbye.
