For my time in Uruguay, I highly recommend taking this tour. They are really flexible and encouraging to let them know what you might want to see. 10 out of 10

Gustavo Is The Man (Es El Hombe)

Robert_B, Feb 2026

Our guide Gustavo was great. He teaches English to middle school students so his English was better than your typical guide. We arranged with Gustavo in advance to Old Town area rather than the area around the Rambla where our hotel was located. The Old Town area is much more interesting; we saw lots of palaces, museums, markets, and went to the top of the City Hall for a 360 degree panaramic view of Montevideo. Gustavo was very enthusiastic, and a pleasure to spend the half day with. He was very interesting to talk to generally about the history and current events of Uruguay. By the way, make a lunch reservation at Jacinto for after the tour; great lunch place in Old Town.

We asked, this guide delivered!

Alejandro took us on a specially curated tour of the Museo de Memoria and a former prison during the 1970s-80s dictatorship, now art museum. We wanted to learn more about the Tupamaros and the political resistance, and Alejandro answered all of our questions and generously shared some of his family’s history. We really enjoyed our time with this smart, knowledgeable guide.

An amazing walking tour with a very knowledgeable guide

Pemiel_P, Mar 2025

Our walking tour was great and our tour guide, Ruth, was amazing and very knowledgeable. She took us to all the important places, explained everything throughly, and even recommended a very nice restaurant to go to dine as well as an incredible artisan place where we bought quality souvenirs from Uruguay.

Guide was ontime and waiting in the lobby of our hotel. Nice walking tour of the city with lots of background information. Stopped for a beer before a meaty outdoor lunch. Had time to buy souvenirs too. Would do again.

Fabulous walking tour in Mondevideo

Very interesting walking tour with excellent and knowledgeable guide (Alejandro) for an unforgettable day in Montevideo.

Embarrassing experience. English speaking guide who cant speak English by fact.

Anonymous, Jul 2024

Our experience was embarrassing. Alejandro might be a nice person, but he in fact can’t explain himself in English. Struggling to find the words and simply put the frases together. We had to politely finish the tour after 1hr of trying to be friendly - it felt like starving. I put it simply: No storyline for the tour, no plot. And, gosh, no fluent English at all. I wish Alejandro all the best, but positioning himself as an English speaking guide is simply misleading for the clients. Worst tour of my life.

Eh tour

vance_j, Apr 2024

The tour was scheduled and planned as a private tour. At the last minute I was informed that more people would be added. The tour was fair, just glancing information and little opportunity to have a personal experience

Short, friendly, and sweet walking tour.

Jose_S, Jan 2024

Our tour was in Spanish, with a very friendly, helpful guide. Knowledgeable in people and city customs.

Wonderful Guide and Personal Tour

Janna_S, Dec 2023

My friend and I had a wonderful private tour of Montevideo! Alejandro was personable, interesting, patient with the many questions we had and very knowledgeable of the city and country. We enjoyed the one on one tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city.

Expérience mémorable. Guide de haut niveau

Famille de Montreal de passage à Montevideo pour la journée. Magnifique ville avec beaucoup de charme, tres sécuritaire et propre. Beaucoup de rues piétonnes avec des commerces et restaurants. Angel est très sympathique, a beaucoup de culture et connaît bien l’histoire et l’architecture. Il faut visiter le marché du port et si vous avez le temps, goûter a la cuisine locale. La boutique alfajores de Montevideo dans le marché du port, offre des alfajores ayant rapporté des prix. Il y a beaucoup de choix de saveur et ils sont de loin les meilleurs que nous avons goutés. Un gros merci a Angel pour cette merveilleuse experience!!
