5.00Santi was a fantastic guide- very informative and took us all around so we really got a good sample of Montevideo. He stopped when I wanted to take pictures and spent a lot of time with us. One of the best guides ever! So lucky it was a weekend because he only works then.
A very informative, enjoyable and efficient way to immerse in Montevideo and Uruguayan culture.

5.00This tour was a great combination of walking and driving which allowed us to see as much as possible in 5 and a half hours. Paola was very informative and enthusiastic about her city and country. Her English was perfect. We even made a stop to sample mate, the local tea. There is truly no replacement for a personal guided tour from a local.
A great, personalized way to see and learn about Montevideo!

5.00Before arriving in the city of Montevideo, we arranged a private tour for the four of us of the city. We couldn’t have been more delighted.Paola our guide and our driver Rodrigo were both delightful. The van was new and comfortable with plenty room for our walker. Paola was fun, kind, and deeply knowledgeable about Montevideo and Uruguay in general. We were taken to all the highlights of the city. We even got to see a mass in the cathedral led by the cardinal of Montevideo himself. Paola asked us the specific things that we were interested in seeing and arranged it all accordingly and beautifully. She took us out to a wonderful lunch at a restaurant dating back to the 1880s, a panoramic view of the city from atop city hall, and so many other wonderful sites. Being from Punta del Este , she also gave us recommendations for sites and dining there. That was our next stop. I cannot recommend this tour and the staff highly enough. If you want something that is personalized, personable, and just plain fun. This is the tour for you.

5.00Our group of four enjoyed a wonderful 3+ hours city tour of Montevideo with the absolutely amazing Paola! Our visit to this fantastic city was made even more special due to Paola, who not only has an extraordinary command of the English language, but is hugely knowledgeable, entertaining and able to answer questions on any subject. She made our visit very special and we would recommend her wholeheartedly!
A perfect day in Montevideo

5.00We started our tour leaving Celebrity Equinox at the port and We always try to tour in small groups. We had 6 of us this day. We found Paola waiting for us just outside the port gates. Paola is a warm, smart multi-lingual guide. She has one goal, to make our day great. She prepared a comprehensive tour of the city with a combination of walking and driving in an air conditioned van piloted by Pablo who was terrific. We spent several hours touring and later we were able to see where we’d gone from the rooftop tower of city hall. We finished the day with a walk through the port market where we had a very nice lunch and then walked across the street to the port gates. Please ask for Paola for your guide with Urban Tours. We thoroughly enjoyed our day.

5.00We had an excellent private tour with Favio. He was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and genuinely passionate about Montevideo. Nothing was too much trouble — he was flexible, obliging, and made the whole experience feel personal and relaxed. We learned so much about the city’s history and culture, and his insights added real depth to every stop. A fantastic guide and a brilliant tour.
