Like spending the afternoon with a friend. - Favio was so lovely. He communicated with us before arrival to create a bespoke tour, secured a larger vehicle so we would be more comfortable with tall teenage boys and was ready with fun facts and engaging banter to keep our very tired teens engaged. We got a wonderful overview of the history and context of the old and new city. We loved that we were also able to walk from site to site. Highly recommend Favio!

Truly a bespoke tour - Favio communicated with us as soon as we made the booking to learn what we hoped to experience and tailored our time accordingly. He even went so far as to get a larger vehicle to accommodate our group of 5! He was knowledgeable, very proud of his country’s beauty and super hospitable. It felt like we hung out with a friend for a few hours. I highly recommend booking with Favio.

Great overview of Montevideo - This tour provides a great overview of the city of Montevideo. Our guide, Favio, was very knowledgeable, professional, and enthusiastic in sharing his love of history. He took time to answer all of our questions and did not rush us at any of the tour sites.

Perfect way to see Montevideo in a day - Favio is a great guy, spoke excellent English, had real passion and knowledge of his city, was focused on what we wanted to see and flexible to accommodate our whims. We learned so much about Montevideo and came away with fond memories of it and Uruguay more generally. It was an unusually v hot day and Favio had us do the walking in the early part, with aircon car at its peak temperatures. Highly recommended

no tour, but please read! - Favio contacted us before the tour to inform us that his vehicle was in an accident. I'm sure with some tour operators it would have ended there but not with Favio. He went above and beyond by scheduling us with another tour operator, and was with us on WhatsApp until our tour was underway. If he treated us, a canceled booking, with such respect, imagine what he could do for your vacation experience!

Solid but issues due to new years and strike. - Overall excellent - took us to wonderful places, driver was safe. But would have liked more historical and cultural context. Also no snacks or lunch for 6 hours. Was on New Year's day when most things were closed and many on strike so not clear operator was at fault. Should carry step box to make boarding easier.

Lots of information about the city - Anabella is a very personable tour guide with an amazing memory for her city's history. She shared with me the facts of the numerous beautiful buildings, the architects and artists who contributed to Montevideo. Unfortunately, being New Year's day, most were closed. We attempted to have lunch, to try the Uruguay beef, in a crowded marketplace but since very few places were open and our cruise ship in, it was too busy and frenetic for me The tour was very fast-paced, covering many sections of the city in a limited amount of time, and personally I would have preferred a little more time to absorb the ambiance of the city in its parks and beach overlooks, though that's just my preference. Anabella and her gentleman driver took good care of me as we toured. If you're looking for historical information, and an appreciation for the artists and architects that made the city what it is, then you'll enjoy this tour.
