Excellent tour of Montevideo with an outstanding tour guide!

5.00Francesca was a delightful and extremely knowledgeable tour guide! We especially appreciated that Blanco Tour Uruguay divided our initially large group into 3 smaller groups of ~12 people on a smaller tour bus. It was easy to hear Francesca on the bus and to hear her on land without a microphone. Tour highlights included the Cathedral, city square near the President’s office, and Monumenta la Carretta, the magnificent sculpture of the gaucho, the oxen and his cart. We finished with a trip to the 22nd floor of a building with a great rooftop view of the city. Really an excellent tour and we definitely got the feel of Montevideo! Well done, Francesca!
Highly recommended tours in Montevideo for all ages, good pace , covers most of the attractions with passionate guide Andres. B

5.00Excellent half day tours with Andres, very knowledgeable, friendly and a good communicator with a bit of jokes in the mix. The 4.5 hrs tour covered most of the attractions in Montevideo in a fairly new and comfortable coach at moderate pace.
Great small group tour

4.00Great tour guide and super organized at cruise port. Would have given it 5 stars but the AC broke on the mini bus on what turned out to be a very hot day. It was hard to enjoy when we were all so warm and uncomfortable. But our guide was very informative and engaging. Covered everything we wanted to see.
Well worth the money

5.00Florentina our guide was very knowlegable and informative about Montevideo. We had a great tour and saw the highlights of the City in about 4 and a half hours. She spoke English excellently and gave us an insight into Uruguay. The pick up from the pier was flawless. We would highly recommend this tour

3.00There was alot of drive by different sites in the van. Jamie was very knowledgeable, but there was not alot of stops at historic sites. Felt like a mixture of items thrown together to form a tour.
Fantastic, Fun, Friendly!

5.00Fantastic day exploring Montevideo with Andres and Belen. We loved the smaller van (vs bus) and had so much fun. This was well worth the cost and super easy to find the team once off the ship. They also provided ice cold water whenever we needed it.
