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 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 always love to take a tour when we arrive somewhere new. Of course perfect weather is always prefered, but on this tour on this day it was rainy. However Marcella our guide and driver as we call him Wally made the rainy day sunshine. I can't remember a tour where I laughed and learned so much. There wasn't an empty seat and we were the only 2 english speaking guest and what a blast. Marcella gave us a tour to remember and Wally drove us safely to and from. We highly recommend this tour and cross your fingers you have Marbella and Wally even if it rains ! Thanks Jim & Bruce

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.

This is either a day tour or a few days of vacation visit to a beach sector. Once you are starting the entrance of the city you'll see beautiful houses and near to the beach a lot of apartments buildings. In a strategic point of the beach they have the Dedos Sector, a sculpture simulating the finger of the hand. Many restaurants and shops surround the area. Nice place to stay.

Alberto made it possible for me to study Candombe drumming during my week in Montevideo. He was able to schedule a lesson with master drummer Alvaro Calas, for the very next morning after I emailed him. Communication with Alberto was convenient; he met me at the bus stop and walked me to Mundo Afro. He attended the first lesson. The lesson was fantastic, so I decided to take several more drumming lessons with Alvaro during my week. Alberto let me book these independently with Alvaro, since I could understand and communicate in Spanish. These lessons were unforgettable, and I hope to study more with Alvaro in the future.

The tour was very good and picked us up at our hotel. We then listened to our guide who explained the itinerary and a bit of history. Our first stop was Piriapolis which was charming. We went to the top of the Cero for a great view and photo opportunity. The tour takes you to the Casapueblo which is an amazing tribute to the famous artist - Carlos Paez Vilaro. It looks like Santorini on steroids. We then went through the back streets of Punta del Este and our guide explained why it's the home of the "rich and famous." We stopped near Play Brava and had some free time to photograph and get a snack. It's a long tour but it's worth it.
