Montevideo is a small, beautiful and exciting city, and our tour with guides Andres and Jaime was unforgettable! They are natives to their country and are very familiar with the sights shown to us ! They are five star tour guides, and when in Montevideo, give Andres and Jaime a chance to show you around!

What a wonderful experience! We went with BlancoTour to tour the main wineries of Uruguay (Juanicó, Bouza, Garzón,...). In all of them the reception was great, and we tasted very good wines that we did not know. The lunch/tasting was great at all the wineries. Andres, the Cover who accompanied us, was very friendly, polite and attentive, and helped us when we had communication difficulties.
Wonderful trip!!

I closed a full package with Blanco Tour (Andrés). We spoke several times on the phone about what to do in the five days we stayed in Montevideo. We were welcomed at the airport, made the tour of the city, visit and lunch at the Bouza winery, visit and tasting at the Bouza winery, City tour by Punta del Este, and also the transfer to Colonia do Sacramento. Always punctual, helping us with exchange, orientation for restaurants, tours etc.. We definitely made a friend Thank you Andrés for the company and the affection.
