5.00She said "absolutely not" which I took to mean "maybe". Andres is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Uruguay and Montevideo. We of course did the tourist attractions but it was very interesting for me to hear about daily life in Uruguay. And the end I tried mate and I'm going to look for some when I get home (no room in the suitcase). Very fun! (The picture is unrelated to the tour with Andres and is of some Penarol fans at the soccer/futbol game)

5.00This was a wonderful small tour of 10 people designed for cruise passengers. They met us outside the port and Bellin the guide and the owner/driver were wonderful. We went to some secret tower to see a panoramic view of the city and stopped at many lovely places in the 4 hours. They were fun and kind and I’d highly recommend it!
Great tour

Punta Del Este - Exceptional Small Group Tour

5.00A fabulous afternoon spent seeing the sights of Punta Del Este. Our small group from the Oosterdam cruise ship spent 4 hours visiting all of the historic and noteworthy sights in this beautiful city. Andres and Belen were extremely accommodating and receptive to all our requests, and never once did we feel rushed. At the end of our tour, we were asked if anyone had any further sights they wanted to visit. It was a fabulous afternoon and a very comprehensive tour. I would highly recommend Blanco Tours to anyone looking for a small group tour in Punta Del Este or Montevideo.
Excellent tour of Montevideo

5.00We had a FANTASTIC time spending our day touring with Andrés & Jaime. They showed us Montevideo and how beautiful a city it is. They are very proud of their city and country and it showed. If you get a chance to book with Blanco Tours, you will not be disappointed. Both guides were fun and funny. Engaging and very informative. My husband and I had a great time!!!

5.00What an awesome day with Andres and Belim. We booked this with a small group from our cruise ship and had an amazing day, both in Monte Video and Punta Estes. What a beautiful city and country! Belim shared so much information with us about the history and culture of Uruguay and took us to places that other people on our cruise ship had not seen. The wine tasting was also very informative and so much fun!
