Wonderful walking tour and guide, that gave us a deeper appreciation of Montevideo! - We did this tour back in November and we had a wonderful afternoon. Alberto is a very pleasant, fascinating , passionate and knowledgable guide. He met us at our hotel in the Cuidad Vieja section of the city and as we walked around the old neighborhood, he showed us so many interesting things that we would have never noticed without him. He had a wealth of information both on historical Montevideo as well as on the city's current affairs. I highly recommend this private walking tour when visiting Montevideo, especially if you are staying in the Cuidad Vieja neighborhood.

Great tour! - We had a lovely morning strolling through the city of Ciudad Vieja with our friendly, knowledge, wonderful guide, Alberto. We learned so much about the history of the city, plus we went at a comfortable pace that allowed us to visit and linger at the sites of most interest to us. I certainly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get a feel for the area and all that it has to offer.

Informative - Group tour was cancelled unbeknownst to me. So chose this private tour last minute due to the time constraint. Very informative tour but pricey for a solo traveler. One’s choice.
