Virginia was such a great tour guide. We stopped at 8 different places for 10-15 minutes each - just long enough to get good pictures. Tour took 4 hours - great value for money.

Excellent tour, guide and driver, but to see many of the sites, we had hoped to see and enjoy the excursion very much

The tour was very well organised. We were a bit confused about the start time of the tour, resulting in us being too late and the tour had already left. However, one of the people of the tour organisation was so kind to offer us a drive to the tour in his car. We arrived at the tours' first stop so we missed nothing. It was a great tour providing good insights in history, architecture, art of Montevideo.

We waited for other people for a while. We have to look for our tour guide. They are not identified under Viator. She was wearing a yellow tshirt and she removed it and we were not able to follow her and we went back to the bus instead. She does not give clear instructions. Her times were off. She is unorganized and hyper. She pointed us things that are not highlight to the place. She is reading what she is saying to us. She is not a good tour guide. She said there is wifi but the password is not working. Personally, this tour is useless. Sorry, to say that.

A nice Highlights tour of Montevideo. Although our guide was lovely and knowledgeable I think people became a little frustrated because she walked too fast and people (particularly the elderly) just couldn't keep up. Also when the bus WIFI was not working and people were complaining it didn't seem like she was listening. WIFI was fixed in the end by the driver though which was great. Overall not bad for someone visiting Montevideo for the first time. But could do with some improvement 🙂

Excellent tour with Rodrigo as our guide. Small group which was good for getting on and off the bus at photo stops and points of interest. Couldn't fault it. We were back at the ship in plenty of time.

It was well organised. The guide Rosario was excellent in every way. He was pleasant, helpful, knowledgeable, gave attention to detail and answered every question asked by the passengers. Well done.
