Knowledgeable Tour Guide.

Oscar my Cuban tour guide was especially knowlegeable of Montevideo and its history. We spoke in both English and Spanish. He has stories about Uruguay and his departure from Cuba and the authoritarian rule. I was impressed by his astute understanding of the culture.

Good tour

I learned quite a bit of history about the city. It has a very rich history that would have been hidden if not explored by people like Oscar who dear to research and share. How intriguing!
