Interesting tour - Our guide, Marcela, was really nice and I learned a lot of interesting things about Montevideo. The bus came on time, was comfortable. Very good tour for people, who came first time to Montevideo and wants to have a good overview.

Amazing! - The tour was great & our guide was even better! We got to see all the landmarks in Montevideo and got recommendations of what to check out during the rest of our stay. This is the best way to see the historical points and still have time the rest of the afternoon to go elsewhere. Must do while in the city!

Great Guide - Our guide Marcelo was fantastic and we really felt like we got a good feel for Montevideo on our tour (and it's a good alternative to a lengthy walking tour).

Helpful - Definitely do this on your first day in Montevideo if you can, you get a chance to see the most important sites and the guide also shows you where there are some other great places that you can visit on your own or add on to the tour later

An expedited tour of the city highlights - This tour is an excellent way to see the highlights of the city and to whet your appetite for more. I enjoyed the mix of historical locations and the time provided for us to look around some of the locations at our own pace. The longer break at the city markets was nice, and gave us time to enjoy some shopping as well as to sample local coffee and food. Marcella was an excellent guide and I highly recommend this tour.

Montevideo tour - Hans sure knows a lot of history and, he speaks 4 languages so he can help a diverse group of people. I learned a great deal about Montevideo.

visit to the center of Montevideo - Very beautiful city, well-preserved old buildings, some with graffiti but very few.
Simple but beautiful cathedral church. Very beautiful Solis Theater

Montevideo tour - Our guide was excellent but it was difficult for him to speak over the Spanish narration that was on microphone so sometimes we could not hear everything.

Not very educational - It was nice seeing landmarks that we wouldn’t otherwise see by walking, and our tour guide was very friendly. However, it wasn’t very informative. It mostly just drove by the landmark, told us what it was, gave us some time to walk around it, and then on to the next. I don’t actually know what I saw or the significance of it.

Complete historic and classic Montevideo - Tour was booked for 8 am.Finally picked up after 9 and tour didn’t actually start until 9.30.We booked this tour with an English speaking guide.We could hardly understand a word of her English and other people on the tour said she was speaking too fast.We came away with hardly any understanding of the history of Montevideo which was very disappointing.
