    Great tour with Jorge around Montevideo. He was very knowledgeable and funny and we hit all the key spots around the city. Would definitely recommend.

    This was the best complement of all the three tours. Junior delivered a wonderful tour explaining a lot of the political situation, let us listen to a story by a living witness and explained the secret of eternal life (almost, at least where to find it)

    We went on a tour with Jorge (aka chino) and it was awesome. He’s a great guide who is very knowledgeable about Uruguay and has the best local recommendations. You can tell he loves his country and loves to show it off. Learned quite a few things about Uruguay and it’s very interesting history. Quick tour, hits all the spots, and if you have additional questions he’s able to give you tons of tips and information. Thanks Jorge and vamos Nacional!

    Excelente la guía que nos brindó Martín. Un recorrido por la historia, agregando datos de color y con mucho humor y simpatía. Pese al mal clima que nos tocó, las horas se nos pasaron volando y las disfrutamos mucho. Además, nos dejó muchas recomendaciones para seguir disfrutando Montevideo. Un imperdible este tour para cualquier turista!! Muchas gracias!

    (Translated by Google) Great storytellers, for a great story to tell. Seeing cities from a historical perspective, like someone traveling to another time, is one of the most rewarding sensations for tourists who want something more. Anecdotes and curiosities are the kind of data that the Internet requires us to be scrutinizing, that do not appear in the first searches about a city and that is only possible from the local discourse, worked and summarized. Spinning history in a general and dynamic way seems very difficult to me and both Santiago in the Old City and Junior in Punta Carretas have done an exceptional job. Great ability to communicate and to maintain suspense. Highly recommended. (Original) Grandes contadores de historias, para una gran historia que contar.Ver las ciudades desde una mirada histórica, como quien viaja a otro tiempo, es una de las sensaciones más gratificantes para el turista que quiere algo más. Anécdotas y curiosidades son de ese tipo de datos que Internet obliga a estar escudriñando, que no aparecen en las primeras búsquedas sobre una ciudad y que solo desde el discurso local, trabajado y resumido es posible. Hilar la historia de forma general y dinámica me parece muy difícil y tanto Santiago en la Ciudad Vieja como Junior en Punta Carretas, han hecho un trabajo excepcional. Gran habilidad para comunicarse y para mantener el suspense. Muy recomendable.

A hug from the Rubianogroot Arias family, Colombia. (Original) Recomendadísimo.

    Had an excellent tour with Florencia a few days ago. Her enthusiasm and sense of humor kept us all entertained as she gave us a great overview of the history of the city and life in Uruguay. We highly recommend this tour.
