Better than expected. I must say it is very well organised and informed. It is definitely worth the money. I would recommend the tour to anyone interested.

Worked but a bit awkward to not have actual ferry tickets.

David_F, Jan 2026

Basically this was purchasing the round trip ferry ticket ahead of time. But could not get our tickets until 90 minutes before the ferry departure. Could not log into the app.

Uraguay for a day.

Fantastic experience. The ferry was a short trip and very efficient and comfortable. Walking tour was informative and very interesting to get an insight into Uraguay the way of life and the people. The town is beautiful.

Great area to visit but not a typical tour

Lucy_S, Feb 2025

Like others have said, it’s a bit misleading. The tour part is a 1 hour overview of the area and you have the rest of the day on your own. That was fine for us but if you are alone and you have trouble walking on uneven streets , we forewarned. The Colonia de Sacramento area was nice either with many eating options. The boat trip you are on your own but follow directions and you will be fine. I was very impressed with both the Argentina and Uruguay passport control bring two desks next to each other. This made it very easy. The boats were on time. Be sure to check in 1.5 hours early as instructed.

Can be done without a guide . It's easy to do guide does not add much value take the boat and do it.

Don’t book! It’s a scam!

Jeff_M, Mar 2022

There is no tour, there is no tour guide! You pay your money and then are told to go the ferry terminal, where nothing happens. The ferry service has no record of your reservation, you are just screwed. Very poor communication! I have done many others good tours with Viator, but this could be my last!!!!!

Short and memorable, travel experience!!

CLAUDIA_M, Dec 2025

This is a good experience, to know another country, if you are in Buenos Aires. A quiet and relaxed day, to know and experience peace. If you can go to Montevideo, do not hesitate.
