Great tour, great tour guide - We got to see and enjoy the beautiful city of Montevideo thanks to our tour guide Favio who was very knowledgeable of the landmarks of Montevideo as well as the history behind them. The 22 kms the amazing promenade “La Rambla” has along the waterfront, the Ciudad Vieja, (the historic center), the nice neighborhoods of Pocitos, Punta Carretas, Buceo and Carrasco were among the highlights of the tour. The city is nicely adorned with trees all over. Favio was an excellent and friendly tour guide who answered the many questions we had gracefully and enthusiastically. We highly recommended him. P.S. The “Parrilla Uruguaya” at a place he took us for lunch was yummy.

Great experience to customize your tour! - Best private tour I have ever taken. Favio organized the tour based of my interests (history, culture and food). I saw historical sites, but more importantly, learned how to connect that history to present day. I also loved what I learned about the culture of Montevideo and Uruguay - and had some amazing empanadas among other things. Favio was able to answer all my questions and I never felt rushed. We also came across other tour guides with their people and it was fun to share experiences.

Magnificent Montevideo - Highly Recommend. Favio provided us with much information about Montevideo in a relaxed and fun style. We learned the history and layout of the areas, visited churches, opulent neighborhoods, gardens, monuments, parks, famous government buildings and he even helped me set-up a hair appointment that I desperately needed. He took many photos for our memory books. It was just a really nice tour.

The best way to learn about Montevideo - Great tour, great way to learn about Montevideo and Uruguay history. My most pleasant hosts, Paula and Javier, were knowledgeable and helpful, and it was a much more engaging tour than larger group tours can be. I asked a lot of questions, and they were very patient and able to help me understand. Plus we were able to take a few detours off the typical itinerary, which I really appreciated.

Excellent Tour in Montevideo - Favio provided a great tour for me across Montevideo. The city is very spread out so being in a private car was great. A bad tour guide can ruin your experience, just as a good one can enhance it. Favio made it great. He speaks excellent English, took me all over, and threw in a couple extras. By the end of the tour I felt like I had a real friend in Montevideo, the kind you'd want to call up and go to dinner with. Great time.

Beautiful Montevideo - A fantastic tour. This tour won’t disappoint! I had a fantastic tour guide Favio who was very knowledgeable. He gave me lots of historical and cultural information and was more than happy to answer questions. I enjoyed the stop to try at local restaurant and relax a bit. He also offered recommendations of other things to do/ see and places to eat during the tour or during my stay in Montevideo. Definitely a must when visiting the city!

Do not not book this tour - There was nothing memorable and nothing good as the tour leader, Favio, didn’t bother showing up and didn’t bother cancelling. After waiting for him for an hour and a half I was able to reach the Viator “chat line”, and, even they had trouble contacting him. When they did, he had excuses that didn’t fly., I.e., he thought he had contacted us but just realized he hadn’t, the weather was a problem, his car was a problem, etc. As I told him, not only did he not do what was contracted he needlessly took that much time away from the little time we had in Montevideo.
