Sincere Personal Guide Like a Friend - Favio is an interesting and enjoyable person to show you around Montevideo. He speaks flawless American English (he lived in US as a child) and knows a lot that he shares with you about his city’s history, culture, architecture and food. He’s so personable and friendly, you’ll feel like you’re meeting up with a laid-back friend. He also went pit of his way to expand the tour to show me anything additional that sparked my interest. Perfect day with a perfect guide!

Walking tour of Montevideo Old Town and other areas - Great walking tour of the old town with lots of notes about the history of the city. We saw beautiful parks, a Catholic church and many important historical buildings. After this, we drove along the beach area to see some of the neighborhoods outside of the city center. To finish the tour, we stopped at a wine bar in the old town for a wine tasting that included 5-6 different wines from the tannat grape and cheeses to go along with the wine. Favio was an exceptional guide with great knowledge of the city and Uruguay and was able to speak English very well. Highly recommend you reach out to Favio for a fun day.

Great city tour - We had such a great time with Paola and Santi. They were very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Montevideo and spoke excellent English. They work hard to personalize the tour.

Like spending the afternoon with a friend. - Favio was so lovely. He communicated with us before arrival to create a bespoke tour, secured a larger vehicle so we would be more comfortable with tall teenage boys and was ready with fun facts and engaging banter to keep our very tired teens engaged. We got a wonderful overview of the history and context of the old and new city. We loved that we were also able to walk from site to site. Highly recommend Favio!

Truly a bespoke tour - Favio communicated with us as soon as we made the booking to learn what we hoped to experience and tailored our time accordingly. He even went so far as to get a larger vehicle to accommodate our group of 5! He was knowledgeable, very proud of his country’s beauty and super hospitable. It felt like we hung out with a friend for a few hours. I highly recommend booking with Favio.

Great overview of Montevideo - This tour provides a great overview of the city of Montevideo. Our guide, Favio, was very knowledgeable, professional, and enthusiastic in sharing his love of history. He took time to answer all of our questions and did not rush us at any of the tour sites.

Perfect way to see Montevideo in a day - Favio is a great guy, spoke excellent English, had real passion and knowledge of his city, was focused on what we wanted to see and flexible to accommodate our whims. We learned so much about Montevideo and came away with fond memories of it and Uruguay more generally. It was an unusually v hot day and Favio had us do the walking in the early part, with aircon car at its peak temperatures. Highly recommended

no tour, but please read! - Favio contacted us before the tour to inform us that his vehicle was in an accident. I'm sure with some tour operators it would have ended there but not with Favio. He went above and beyond by scheduling us with another tour operator, and was with us on WhatsApp until our tour was underway. If he treated us, a canceled booking, with such respect, imagine what he could do for your vacation experience!
