Great tour worth the time and money - I had 24 hours in Montevideo and wanted to find a way to learn about the city in my limited time. This is a great tour if you want a quick but still detailed way to learn about Montevideo and its history. The walking was also nice. Oscar was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable. Most importantly, he’s just a good person with a good heart. I would definitely recommend him and the tour.

Knowledgeable Tour Guide. - Oscar my Cuban tour guide was especially knowlegeable of Montevideo and its history. We spoke in both English and Spanish. He has stories about Uruguay and his departure from Cuba and the authoritarian rule. I was impressed by his astute understanding of the culture.

Good tour and worth doing - A good little walking tour through the heart of the city by Oscar who was approachable and knowledgeable. I'm not sure we saw that many "hidden gems" but it was a nice way to see a bit more of the city.

Knowledgable and super friendly guide - Oscar was super friendly and knowledgeable, and the tour was a great experience for me. The only slightly thing I disliked was a little pushiness on the tips, which is partly my fault since I didn't have physical cash before the tour.
