Together with my small team, our goal is to make it as personable as possible (like hanging out with a new friend).

We can't wait to meet you and share this experience :)

Ryan is a wonderful host! He is super knowledgeable about wine as well as the locations he took me. He's a great conversationalist and did an excellent job with providing an amazing wine tasting experience! So far, I have had two wine tasting experiences with Ryan and am hoping I can do one more before I leave Uruguay. If you like adventure and going a little off the beaten path, Ryan is your guy.

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!

I live in Montevideo and wanted to learn more about the Uruguay wine scene. I tried out Wine Explorers and found Victoria and Tavis to be excellent guides and very communicative. They are very organized and do the tours in both English and Spanish. The bodegas we have visited have all been rockstar wines and a unique and wonderful experience for someone new to the wine scene and for a seasoned connoisseur. I highly recommend going on these tours.

Mauro, our guide, driver and native to Montevideo, was very informative! His English was perfect! Because is was a private tour we could get out and shop at the markets for a few trinkets or browse through the church a bit longer and not worry. South Experiences specialises in cruise passengers so no worries about the ship docking late or getting back to the ship on time as they are totally flexible! At one point Mauro realised that the dry air was giving me a dry throat and he stopped to buy water and Halls to smooth my throat! Awesome! Thanks for a fabulous tour!

Cruise port visit stop at this nice winery about one hour from the dock. Tasted one of their ‘Reserve’ wines and purchased some for the ship; a nice red that went well with our beef empanadas.
