Guide was very good - The guide was people friendly did a great job of giving information about the city. Why is it that Viator you want someone to write a book on it.

Our little trip to hidden gem - I had the opportunity to take this tour I wasn’t sure, but glad I did. I met Marcela out guide the trip was for almost 4 hours very clear in every point we went. The only thing wasn’t clear was we will stop in a market for shopping. Didn’t take much money or credit card for security reasons. Could not stay in downtown Montevideo. But all good and highly recommended. Marcela is an amazing host. Cheers !!

Fantastic city tour - This was a great overview of Montevideo. Marcela was an excellent guide. She conducted the tour in English and Spanish, giving a wealth of information in each language. She allowed plenty of time at all stops and even gave additional information at the end of the tour to guide us for the rest of the day.

Interesting tour - Our guide, Marcela, was really nice and I learned a lot of interesting things about Montevideo. The bus came on time, was comfortable. Very good tour for people, who came first time to Montevideo and wants to have a good overview.

Brief informative overview of Montevideo and shore-line - Somewhat informative of the area. Would recommend if you are just looking for a brief overview of the city and shore line. Was picked up at my hotel ON TIME as stated. Seems like a responsible tour center group. Answered queried emails,, promptly.

Beautiful beach areas in montevideo - Best part was driving out along the beach boardwalk on east side of city - beautiful and would not have seen that much of the area without being on the tour (since it is quite aways from old section of montevideo.).

Not very educational - It was nice seeing landmarks that we wouldn’t otherwise see by walking, and our tour guide was very friendly. However, it wasn’t very informative. It mostly just drove by the landmark, told us what it was, gave us some time to walk around it, and then on to the next. I don’t actually know what I saw or the significance of it.
