A comprehensive tour of Montevideo's neighborhoods, with anecdotes and commentary on the history of the sites visited. Our guide, Marcelo, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. He spoke to us in the languages spoken by the members of the group (Spanish, Portuguese, and English). He was very attentive to all our questions and recommended other places to visit (shows, restaurants, theaters, etc.). The hotel pickup was punctual, and the vehicle was in very good condition.

Montevideo Sightseeing Tour

We'll collect you from your hotel at the indicated time and set off to discover the Uruguayan capital's most iconic monuments and landmarks. During the tour, an English-speaking guide, an expert in the history of Montevideo, will give live commentary on the best-known corners of the city.

We'll start the tour by approaching the Ciudad Vieja (Old City), the nucleus on which Montevideo was founded. To delve into its history, we'll visit the Plaza de la Independencia, Independencia, where we'll find the Puerta de la Ciudadela (Gateway of the Citadel), the Solís Theatre, the Executive Tower, the Estévez Palace, the Salvo Palace and the monument to José Gervasio Artigas.

We'll continue through the city center along part of the Avenida 18 de Julio, heading towards the Legislative Palace, the seat of Parliament. We'll also pass by the Agricultural Market of Montevideo, where you'll find a wide variety of local products!

The panoramic tour of Montevideo will continue at the José Batlle y Ordoñez Park, from where we'll see the Centenario Stadium and the Monumento la Carreta sculpture. Before finishing the route, we'll continue to the Rambla de Pocitos, where we'll stop at the Montevideo sign to take some fantastic photos.

Una completa recorrida por los barrios de Montevideo, con anécdotas y comentarios sobre la historia de los puntos visitados. Nuestro guía Marcelo, persona muy preparada y agradable. Nos habló en los idiomas de los integrantes del contingente (español, portugués e inglés). Muy atento a todas las consultas que le hicimos y al recomendarnos otros puntos a visitar (espectáculos, restaurantes, teatros, etc.). Puntuales en el horario de recogida por el hotel, y muy buen estado del vehículo. Translate this opinion into English.

Es un tour genial porque recorres en la comodidad de la van, los lugares más icónicos y llenos de historia en Montevideo. El conductor y la guía muy amables y atentos durante todo el recorrido. El único lunar es que civitatis no se puso en contacto conmigo por whatsapp y pensamos que habían incumplido, hasta que vimos el vehículo. Translate this opinion into English.

It is a great tour because you tour, in the comfort of the van, the most iconic places full of history in Montevideo. The driver and guide were very friendly and attentive throughout the entire tour. The only problem is that Civitatis did not contact me by WhatsApp and we thought they had defaulted, until we saw the vehicle. Opinion translated. Show original.
