The experience

The tour moves through Montevideo's main points at whatever pace suits you. A professional guide travels with you in an air-conditioned vehicle with WiFi, providing context on Uruguayan society, culture and history as you pass through the city. The Rambla (a 24-kilometer avenue along the Río de la Plata) anchors the route, and you'll stop at Independence Plaza, where the monument to General José Gervasio Artigas stands at the center of the city. The Legislative Palace, built between 1908 and 1925, marks the country's independence centenary. You also visit the Port Market, described as one of the region's greatest gastronomic and cultural references, and the Agricultural Market, a restored iron structure that anchors an urban recovery project.

Because the schedule is yours to shape, you can instruct the driver to make stops at other places that catch your interest. If you book a morning slot, you finish at a restaurant of your choice for lunch. If you prefer the afternoon, you start after eating. The vehicle accommodates infants in specialized seats or strollers, and service animals are welcome. Pickup is included, so you don't arrange separate transport to meet the guide.

Two durations are available: a 3-hour tour or a 6-hour option that allows for a slower pace and more stops. The guide speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, or one additional language, so the commentary is in whichever language you prefer.
