Exceptional Tour and Guide - I was fortunate enough to have Marcella as our guide on the Colonia and Punta del Este tours. She is simply outstanding! I cannot recommend INVER and Marcella highly enough.

A good day trip from Montevideo. - I am touring around South America and while here, thought I would head to Colonia while in Uruguay. It was a pleasant day trip. Saw some interesting things and had a nice lunch. The company was well organized and easy to work with.

Good experience - Interesting trip! Lots to see and do in Colonia. The side trip to the collector museum could be safely avoided and allow more time in Colonia. Marcela was our guide: she is caring and attentive but her English has a thick accent and she tries to speak so fast it’s totally incomprehensible at times. Suggestion: speak less and make it more clear.

Was a nice experience - The trip was nice, we’ve seen a lot of and the guide was very helpful. Unfortunately, she spoke super fast, so we couldn’t get anything about the history. But in total was a nice trip, Colonia is pretty.

Great day trip to Colonia for a great value. - Overall I had a great experience. The stops were interesting, the bus was comfortable, and the guides were very informative. It did feel like it was rushed at times since the guide had to speak in Spanish, Portuguese, and English, but it did not detract from the overall experience much.

Worth seeing Colonia del Sacramento for its history - Overall a good day, but it took some time to pick everyone up and drop everyone off at the start and end of the tour which made for a long day. Colonia was very expensive for what it was, but it was fun to walk around the old town for three hours (which was plenty).
