Montevideo, a port city and the capital of Uruguay, is a perfect destination for travelers looking for a relaxing stroll past colonial era buildings and along beautiful beaches. The Ciudadela Gateway, the only remaining section of the wall that once surrounded the entire city, now serves as the entrance to Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo's oldest neighborhood. Home to churches, museums, and theaters, at night the area comes alive with nightclubs playing Tango and Candombe music for crowds of dancers.

We really enjoyed this virtual live experience all together. And even-though we decided to "only" watch, due to the time difference (after dinner for us), we had a great time learning more about how to properly cook Empanadas. Thanks again to Camila for making it very interesting, "tasteful"and fun and giving us the chance to discover the world of Empanadas and also sharing insights about Argentina with us.

My husband and I booked the Best Private and Personalized City Tour in Montevideo for cruise passengers as we had never been to that city. I was able to stay in contact with the tour operator through WhatsApp which gave me an extra layer of comfort. Our tour guide Alvaro picked us up on time right outside of the cruise terminal. His English was great and he was very knowledgeable about the city. Everywhere we went, someone knew him! He spoke about the history of his city, showed us the old town, the historical rich area, government buildings, beautiful architecture, and of course all of the main attractions. We also escaped the downtown area for a bit and explored the beautiful beaches and the area where many of the embassies are located. Overall we were very happy with this tour and because of the personalized aspect of it, we were able to venture and see areas that appealed to us more. I believe that we got to see double the amount of attractions and probably learnt more about the history and day-to-day life of Uruguay than any tour we would have booked on the ship. Alvaro dropped us off at the Meat Market where we tried some of the local BBQ before we headed back onto the ship. We arrived with plenty of time to spare and enjoyed the entire day. Thank you Andres and Alvaro for everything.

I have taken this service several times now and it is exactly as advertised. On my flight last week I arrived 50 minutes early and no wait in immigration. When I walked out my driver was already there. They have always been perfect every time I have used them. They accept credit cards (via Paypal) for online reservations but you can also pay the driver when you take the ride. Drivers spoke excellent English (although I am fluent in Spanish). Cars are clean and well maintained. I exclusively use them due to their service and reliability

My passion for sharing stories and the history of my city will make this tour unique for you. I will take you to places off the beaten track and you'll see everything from the point of view of a local, and not from a commercial one. Also, the tour is fully customizable, you can tell me your interests and I will tailor it to meet your likings, adding more places or skipping the ones you're not interested in. Starting earlier or later, whatever you may need, I'll make everything to make you feel home and never forget this beautiful city. Everything from a modern brand new European car with panoramic roof, which depending on number of people can be a Peugeot or a BMW. It's the most comprehensive private tour you will find! Forget about having to wait for other guests, this one is made only for you!

Our guide seemed very nice and he could have been knowledgeable, but his English was very poor. He kept apologizing for not speaking the language well. Thank goodness we had some Spanish background. He did drive us around the city and spent more time than contracted with us, but it would be nice to have learned more about the city and culture.
