Overview

My passion for sharing stories and the history of my country will make this private tour unique for you. I will take you to places off the beaten track and you'll see everything from a local's perspective, and not from a commercial one.

I will pick you up from your accommodation, cruise or ferry terminal in a modern and comfortable SUV.

Also, the tour is fully customizable, you can tell me your interests and I will tailor it to meet your needs, adding more places or skipping ones you're not interested in. Starting earlier or later, whatever you may need, I'll make everything to make you feel home and never forget this beautiful city.

It's the most comprehensive private tour you will find, and been awarded the Badge of Excellence! Forget about having to wait for other guests, this one is made only for you!

(Starting and finishing times shown on the website, as well as duration, are just an indication, I will contact you asking about times and interests after booking!)

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Stop At: Parque del Prado, Avenida Delmira Agustini, Montevideo Uruguay

Not too far from Cerro, we'll visit this beautiful and old green residential neighbourhood, where upper class families used to live during last century. As a proof of that, there are still some of the manor houses. Then we will see some interesting sculptures at Prado park, the greenest area of the city.

Now it's time for a tasty lunch. You'll have many options to choose from, such as a typical Uruguayan "asado" (bbq) at Mercado del Puerto, a 150 years old market. If you want to have another thing, you'll also have plenty of options, including pasta, empanadas, or if want, you can try our unofficial national dish, called Chivito.
