Marvelous Montevideo - For first timers to Montevideo, this was the perfect entree. The small group tour (6) was able to move around easily and quickly and see and experience things the big groups cannot. Our guide, Javier, was brilliant. He guided us around town with great consideration and his knowledge was extensive. One of the very top guides we have experienced. He accommodated our requests and was willing to spend as much time as possible with us. We cannot recommend him highly enough we were so lucky to have a 5 star guide.

Montevideo Jewish Tour. Uruguay and its Jewish Community and documentary links - Fanny Margolis was a wonderful tour guide. She was friendly and knowledgeable. She took us to many very interesting sites and gave us detailed histories of some of them. We really enjoyed her tour. We took many great photos and even more memories we will cherish forever. We learned how Uruguay has always been friendly to and accepting of all religious groups. We were most impressed that the President initiated and supported the Jewish cemetery. The places we saw were interesting and beautiful.

Best Montevideo Tour We Could Hope For - This was a wonderful tour with Javier. Since it was a red flag (heat warning) day, we started with a morning walk through the Old City. At each stopping point Javier led us to a shaded seat while he recounted the history of his country as only a young scholar with a keen mind could. We stopped for a snack of empanadas and ended with a drive along the Promenade to view the beautiful beaches. He shared information about his family's history in the country as well as his travels around the world. We probably asked more questions than most travelers and he was gracious in responding. We loved our day with Javier.

Customizable private tour - This private tour involves a detail depth of the city's history. There's a little walking and most of the time travelling in an electric suv. Very smooth ride. We got to see a lot of the city. From the industrial, to the highest point, far east,, west, south. There's so much learn. Our trip was customized to us as well. We wanted to try foods that the locals prefer over any fancy restaurants. As well as visit shops that support the locals. There's a lot of beautiful architecture and monuments. Javier is very knowledgeable and informative
