Private Sightseeing Tour of Punta del Este - Our dedicated tour guide met us at the peer. Our guide was very informative about the history of Punta del Este. She wanted to ensure that we had time at each location, she even stopped at a convenience store for us to pick up some snacks. Our group of 9 enjoyed the day and all the sights.

A good way to see Punta del Este - We went to many beautiful places, including the HANDS, which is not included in any of the cruise excursion. Both the driver and guides are extremely courteous that you feel they are your good old friends.

A business that you can trust - I was searching for a private tour as we were going to be docking at this port. I came across them and booked the tour. Sadly, because the weather was bad and the sea was very choppy, the ship couldn't anchor in the bay, and they felt it to be unsafe to use the tender boats. So the Capt had to make the hard call to cancel the port and sail on... which meant we would have no stop and no tour. Top private tours responded to my message, informing them of the state of affairs. They very promptly responded and refunded me my entire money without my even asking for it. So it's good to be aware that people like these are trustable businesses to deal with and support. Thank you for your honesty and integrity hope to come back again soon.

Nice little town. - Great tour. Very simple tour around the town and nearby location. It was best to be in a small group and not on a big bus. The tour guy and driver brought us through the neighborhoods and explained the history. She brought us to all the key locations and tourist highlights.

We spent the day with a private guide who was very experienced and knowledgeable. We saw beautiful sights and learned much about the area. I highly recommend this tour company.

Great private tour with driver and tour person. - This was so easy and what a great way to see Punta del Este without a huge group and crowds! When they heard we were golfers, they swung by the golf course and let me buy a club cover for my husband. I felt like we saw more of the island and history in a short time than even possible. Finally, after going to the dock and seeing fresh fish, they took us to a fabulous restaurant on the beach! It was the best!! We easily strolled back with plenty of time to take the tender!

beaches and house/residential tours - Even though the tour was nice the cost was too expensive. mostly shown were buildings and residences and as expected was the long stretch of beaches, which was good.

Over kill. - The tour guide was very good, not enough sights. This tour could have been done in 2 hours. It’s a very nice city, but only a couple of must see spots. Wish we would have done a shorter, cheaper tour.

Salvaged our day in Punta - The guide wasn’t waiting for us at the port, he ran late and didn’t bother to notify us! We get to the vehicle and the air conditioning is broken! On top of all that ….We couldn’t understand him at all! We salvaged our day by going to art galleries and The Maca sculpture Garden Museum! This tour company refused to accept simple feedback of our experience…. So hence an honest review of our day!!

Punta del Este - The guide had only moved to Punta del Este 2 months prior to our tour. She had no previous experience as a tour guide. She was very pleasant but her English was not very good. she relied on the driver to tell her about the sights in spanish and then she would relay to us that information in English. We did cover the major sights of the area.
