Punta del Este is known as the St. Tropez of Uruguay, thanks to its beautiful beaches, upscale resorts and swanky nightclubs. The Vegas-style Conrad Casino adds to the lively entertainment scene. For a break from surf and sand, saddle up with a local gaucho and ride horseback through the wild plains surrounding the city.

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.

Club Hotel Casapueblo is located in Punta Ballena, 15km west of Punta del Este. We designed this Sightseeing, Art & Cultural tour specifically for you in mind. You will get to see amazing artwork by multifaceted artist Carlos Paez Viralo. His meeting with Pablo Picasso in France inspired him to try his hand at pottery and, upon his return to Uruguay, he founded the Ceramic Artisans Workshop. In Ecuador, he wove tapestries with the Otavalo Indians. In Tahiti, he produced his collection of wraparound shawls for the native women on the island. In Washington, D.C, in 1960, he painted his “Roots of Peace” mural, then considered to be the longest in the world. He also left his mark in the form of a large mural in Dr. Albert Schweitzer’s leprosy hospital in Lambaréné. In Uruguay, he painted the sails of the “Capitán Miranda” naval training ship, police patrol cars, and the plane used by the national airline. He recorded several musical pieces and produced many films.

We may have gotten the last Wine Experience event for a while. Ryan Hamilton was able to move our event from a dinner to a lunch event as the hotel it was being held at was closing due to COVID-19! We moved our bus departure from Montevideo up by 3 hours to meet Ryan in Punta del Este. It all worked out even better than dinner would have, as there wouldn't have been a sunset because the clouds moved in while we were enjoying great wines, and wonderful foods, and a great conversation with Ryan. He is a consummate host and sommelier, and we benefited from his extensive experience in the hospitality and wine industries. We truly hope that he is able to offer his Experiences when Uruguay and other countries permit international travel again , because a Ryan Hamilton Wine Experience is well worth the money and not to be missed!

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.

We were notified less than 24 hours by the cruise ship captain that we would not be able to tender into the port to meet the tour guide due to the weather. I realize they had a 24 hours cancellation policy, however our captain was not able to notify us in time to cancel. I did try to arrange with this company to meet us the next day to provide a tour but they indicated that this was not possible. In spite of this I tried to get a refund from Viator after returning from the cruise with no luck. They are willing to give us a 25.00 credit which we will never use. I do not recommend anyone on a cruise not to prebook a tour to this port due to weather issuses. I did learn from others on that tour were refunded half of the price which I would have accepted.
