Great oversight of a beautiful City

Tracy_B, Feb 2026

We had a great time with Dario! He was on time waiting for us when we disembarked the ship and his car was nearby. He offered to fetch the car, but we were happy to walk. Unfortunately the air con was broken, but he had plenty of cold water and with the windows open it was fine. We walked through all 3 squares and he told us about the history of Uruguay and the important buildings/statues. He knew all the best places to take photos from to get the best shots! We even got to see a wedding!! We drove to the football stadium where the first World Cup was held and then the Congress and on to the beach. We stopped at a little park where there is an art exhibition every month and finally went into the covered market opposite the port to see the barbecues, local dancers and drummers and to taste a local drink. It was a very interesting, packed trip and we thoroughly enjoyed Dariio's company. Thank you 😊

Dear Tracy, thank you so much for your kind words. It was a great pleasure to accompany you and show you Montevideo. When I have passengers as friendly and positive as you, everything always goes well. I hope to see you again in Montevideo! Dario

Darío was an outstanding tour guide. Tour was a perfect mix of learning about the history of Uruguay and Montevideo as well as seeing and exploring its newer areas. Dario was friendly, knowledgeable, and great company. I highly recommend this tour.

Best Montevideo City Tour

Our guide Dario was excellent in showing us this beautiful city - well planned and well explained - we covered all the important sites and history

Dear Alina, it was a pleasure to accompany you and show you Montevideo. I greatly appreciate your interest in our history and customs, and I hope that one day you will return to Montevideo. In the meantime, I hope you continue traveling to many places around the world! Dario

Dario for the win.

Dario was incredible. My wife and I are fortunate to have taken day tours with Viator and/or the other big company in 15 cities across 12 countries, and Dario was the best. Friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and an all around expert on the true history of Montevideo. He picked us up on time, paid extra care to my 2 year old and wife because it was 95 degrees, so he brought lots of water bottles on ice. He knew so much history, both told, and untold, and extended the tour without asking. Dario knew how to navigate the city, frequently ran into people around town that he knew, further solidifying that he is an expert in his field, and he gave us a BOOK about Uruguay, for free. That was incredible. No tour guides do that. Montevideo is a great city, underrated in my opinion, and we would not have experienced the true city without him. We loved every minute, and it was 95 degrees! That says a lot about Dario and his ability to make a tour wonderful. I would highly recommend using Dario, whether with just friends, family, or even when traveling with a 2 year old all the way from California, like we were. I happened to lose my phone at the hotel hours after the tour, and I asked him to resend me photos via Whats App because I lost them all. Dario offered to drive to the hotel and look for the phone. A truly kind man, with great knowledge, of a city that deserves a visit from any traveler who values history, and wants to see the cooler parts of South America. Thanks so much Dario, we truly appreciated your time, attention, and care to your craft. You are a master.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear James, Verónica, and Carlo, first of all, thank you very much for your comments, which make me very happy. I also want to thank and congratulate you for your patience and strength in enduring the heat that day in Montevideo, which turned out to be the second hottest day of the entire summer! I thoroughly enjoyed the tour with you and every minute of our conversations. And of course, considering your passion for soccer, which you'll surely transmit to Carlo, it was wonderful that you visited the Centenario Stadium, a World Soccer landmark. How nice it is to receive visitors like you, curious to learn more about Uruguay, and to see how you enjoyed each place you visited. I hope that one day you return to Montevideo to have the pleasure of continuing these interesting and entertaining conversations. I wish you all the best! Dario
