A fantastic tour - What an extraordinary adventure. It was not only just a walkthrough of a major artery of old Montevideo, but a fantastic history lesson of politics, war, and the modern development and infrastructure of the city. This was very informative and the views were breathtaking.

Historical Experience - It was quite an experience to walk the city with Oscar. To be quite honest, I would have walked past a lot of the sites be pointed out. The city is so full of history and I loved how he narrated it from his experience. If you are a history connoisseur, take the walk with him when you visit the city.

A love of democracy and the river of birds - Oscar was an outstanding guide who offered truly unique perspectives, not only on the history of Montevideo, but on the passions of its people many of which he shared. Oscar answered all my questions and delivered insights that enhanced the rest of my trip. I love doing these tours at the beginning of my visit to a new city to help build a framework for the rest of the trip and Oscar built it beautifully. I now have plans for the rest of my trip here All thanks to Oscar’s insights.

Knowledgable and super friendly guide - Oscar was super friendly and knowledgeable, and the tour was a great experience for me. The only slightly thing I disliked was a little pushiness on the tips, which is partly my fault since I didn't have physical cash before the tour.
