Joan_L, Jun 2026

Oscar was my guide and he was very informative and passionate about Uruguaian history. It was only me so I got a private tour. We walked through the old city and then walked down the big city avenue and up a tall govt building for a panoramic view. Not sure I’d call this tour “hidden gems”, but it was nice to see Montevideo in this quick tour. It was also Sunday so pretty much everything was closed and less to see so be aware if you book a weekend. This is something nice to do if you’re looking to fill some time or are short on time.

Highly Recommend

Knowledgeable Tour Guide.

Michael_C, Mar 2026

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

Nick_P, Mar 2026

A good little walking tour through the heart of the city by Oscar who was approachable and knowledgeable. I'm not sure we saw that many "hidden gems" but it was a nice way to see a bit more of the city.

Knowledgable and super friendly guide

Stian_A, Feb 2026

Oscar was super friendly and knowledgeable, and the tour was a great experience for me. The only slightly thing I disliked was a little pushiness on the tips, which is partly my fault since I didn't have physical cash before the tour.

A fantastic tour

Lee_M, Jan 2026

What an extraordinary adventure. It was not only just a walkthrough of a major artery of old Montevideo, but a fantastic history lesson of politics, war, and the modern development and infrastructure of the city. This was very informative and the views were breathtaking.

Shonnelle_B, Nov 2025

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!
