Interesting tour - We booked a walking tour in English. Unfortunately not available via Trip Advisor but via booking.com. Super information and you can also speak very little German.

A wonderful experience in Colonia del Sacramento. - I had been planning and looking forward to a visit to Colonia del Sacramento with my wife and friends but unfortunately I was not able to join the crew because of an unexpected illness. I was very pleased to hear that they enjoyed the trip, learning so much of the history from a very thorough and friendly guide, Idoia. They highly recommend the tour and booking through Viator.

Great Tour with Idoia - Idoia was amazing! Very knowledgeable, and had a tablet to show pictures and stories of the old town. Highly Recommend and a great way to get to know the city in a short amount of time.

A great, compact tour of the historic centre of Colonia - Lilly was very friendly and informative. She speaks very good English. Colonia is a small town, the tour makes spending time in the town structured and focused. She had nice tips on which museums are the best to visit, and other local tips. We enjoyed our tour and recommend it!

Rain Cancelled tour, great service - My tour was cancelled because of a downpour, but the provider started communicating very early in the morning about the tour status, accommodated the option of a different time, and submitted for a refund as soon as the final decision was made to cancel the day’s tours. I feel really good about how they handled it and wouldn’t hesitate to book a tour with them again.

Refreshing! - Great sights and an even greater guide! The tour was at just the right pace and you get to learn more because of the small size

Tour full of history - Very rich the tour of Mrs Liliana, who has a great knowledge and was extremely attentive; even on a very cold and rainy day. We were very pleased to have chosen to make this tour with this company due to the quality of the tour offered.
