A friendly chatty walking tour at a gentle pace - An interesting couple of hours wandering the historic district of Colonia Lili was informative, engaging & actively sought questions We would recommend taking the tour at this time of day (started at 18:00) as the streets were less busy & the sunset was fabulous

A great walking tour of Colonia - I took a quick day trip from Buenos Aires to Colonia. This was the perfect walking tour to occupy my day and to check out the city. It was a very informative tour and I had a great time. I highly recommend!

Knowledgeable and Personable Walking Tour Experience - Lili was an EXCELLENT guide! Since the town has such a rich history, we wanted to get the full story of Colonia del Sacramento, and Lili absolutely delivered. Lili is a great story teller, going in-depth of the city’s architecture, history, and everything in-between. This is a walking tour worth the value - would 100% recommend!
