Great bus tour of the city. - Juan was very knowledgable about all the political, architectural, social and food topics on the tour. He was great with everyone in the group. When we were walking, we moved at a good pace, but we were not rushed. Since we had extra time in port after the tour, he gave great recommendations about what to do with our remaining time in Montevideo.
