Montevideo Life - This was a good introduction to the city and gave us many ideas of what else we could explore. It was a bit of extra bus time, but still enjoyable.

Great tour - It was a small group of about a half a dozen people. I appreciated the fact that since I was the only english speaker they didn't cancel my tour but did it bilingually to accommodate me.

Ok but not great - This is a bus tour in multiple languages together. I believe there are 6 stops. It is useful on the first day of a visit to Montevideo to see some noteworthy buildings and plazas. However, the guide only provided info while in the bus and everything had to be said 3 times, so the information was a but limited. It would have been better if the speaking was also done outside and went beyond basic facts about each place. I would have preferred a walking tour of the old city.
