Overview

You will arrive in a walled city that in 1680 brought the Portuguese crown, with military and civilian envoys, to watch the Spanish ships passing through Buenos Aires, looking for gold, silver and precious stones. You will know the precarious constructions of the time, its handmade roofs, its lanterns and stone streets with natural drains, in a city anchored in time and magically preserved with its military field gate, its drawbridge and its gunboats.

5.00A very informative tour of Colonia, with historical insights tied to the steps you walk and buildings you walk by. You can imagine what life was like for the settlers and residents of history.

5.00I’m glad I booked this tour over the one that can be booked from the ferry terminal building. There were so many people on those tours. This was much more intimate and our guide was so lovely and knowledgeable. She even helped me book a taxi with her trusted taxi driver so I wouldn’t miss my ferry. Highly recommend.
Awesome tour of Colonial del Sacremento!
