My husband and I did a one day private tour of Montevideo with Gonzalo as our tour guide. He was excellent and I would highly recommend him. Responded immediately when we were pre-planning, and once there , he was prompt and courteous and very knowledgeable about a wide cache of information that would be of interest to anyone travelling to Uruguay for the first time . I would highly recommend this tour with this guide .

Alberto was super nice and very knowledgeable about the city, with really cool stories and facts that you probably wouldnt get on another tour. He was also super flexible to go where we wanted to go and stop and eat. Great experience!!

We did a walking tour of the old city in Montevideo with Alberto. He was an excellent guide: very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, spoke excellent English, made many good recommendations for other things to do while in the city, etc. He knows the city and its history well and he brought it to life for us. He also did a great job of answering our many questions.

The old city is worth walking around to see. We would appreciate more on the history and information of the buildings that we saw.
