Top Montevideo Walking Tours

Javier was fantastic during my wife's and my adventure to Montevideo this month. Our goal was to learn more about the city from a longer term perspective rather than a quick visit. While taking us to highlighted sites, Javier provided insights and details beyond a standard tour. He is very friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. Javier went above our expectations, and we would recommend him to everyone.

… thank you Javier! The private tour with you was the most perfect introduction to Montevideo. We learned so much, and so appreciate your insights and willingness to answer all of our questions so thoughtfully. Your tour was truly the highlight of our first visit.

Thank you, Alberto. You were very friendly and knowledgeable. We both appreciate you giving your morning to us.

Excellent tour of the old town in Montevideo. Clear instructions received from Alberto on the meeting point and he proceeded to provide an informative and interesting 3 hour walking tour of the old town (where the cruise tour buses cannot reach!). English was very good and would highly recommend the tour.

A very good experience, the guide took me to incredible places and very unique, was punctual and gave important explanations of the history of Montevideo. A very pleasant and fun walk.

Javier is a wonderful tour guide. Polite, professional and very knowledgeable, he was kind enough after the tour to give us food and museum recommendations. Most tour guides, when they're done with the tour, do not bother to show that level of care. So thank you, Javier, for a wonderful day!

My husband and I did a one day private tour of Montevideo with Gonzalo as our tour guide. He was excellent and I would highly recommend him. Responded immediately when we were pre-planning, and once there , he was prompt and courteous and very knowledgeable about a wide cache of information that would be of interest to anyone travelling to Uruguay for the first time . I would highly recommend this tour with this guide .

A wonderful introduction to the old town of Montevideo, filled with lots of local history. Alberto was very knowledgeable and answered all of our many questions and gave us many suggestions regarding how to spend our remaining time in the area. Would highly recommend!

This sightseeing tour with Javier exceeded our expectations by far. Javier is very knowledgeable about his city and he gave us many details that were beyond those available in books, etc. His tour also included one of the most interesting viewpoints of Montevideo which, unfortunately, seems to be unknown by many or most visitors! The EV was very comfortable and sparkling clean. With Javiers guidance we could truly create a schedule and points to visit that suited us best. All in all a splendid experience that we can only highly recommend!

Great comprehensive, one day tour for 1st time visitors to Montevideo. Javier was absolutely fantastic, one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. You get see so much more because this is combo tour of riding and walking. Add Javier’s in-depth historical knowledge and contacts in the city and you have an exceptional tour.

Montevideo, founded 1726 as a Spanish fortress, boasts a rich history from Artigas’ independence fight to modern democracy. Javier arrived on time, shared great insights, and tailored it to my interests. Highly recommend!

Javier is extremely knowledgeable and accommodating. He will also customize your experience based on your interests. His English is excellent. Beautiful country.

The Montevideo Tailor-Made Experience was truly exceptional and exceeded all expectations. Having a private tour with a local made the city come alive in a way that would be impossible on a standard tour.Our guide was incredibly professional and well-organised, ensuring that every part of the day flowed seamlessly. The itinerary felt perfectly tailored to our interests, allowing us to experience Montevideo at a comfortable pace while still seeing and learning so much.What really stood out was the guide’s passion for sharing their knowledge. Their insights into Montevideo’s history, culture, and everyday life were fascinating, and the information was delivered with genuine enthusiasm and clarity. It felt less like a tour and more like being shown around by a knowledgeable friend who truly loves their city.This private, tailor-made experience was one of the highlights of our trip. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a deeper, more authentic understanding of Montevideo through a professional, passionate, and engaging local guide.

The tour was really amazing. Javier was very kind, answering all my questions with lot of knowledge about the city. He took me with his van, which is very comfortable to every place we went. He was involved in every detail to make it a good experience.

Our tour of Montevideo with Javier was nothing short of exceptional. He is a true bank of knowledge and a passionate history buff who brings the city’s past and present to life in a fascinating, engaging way. Javier is incredibly polite, attentive, and flexible, always adapting the tour to our interests and pace. He speaks six languages effortlessly, which made communication seamless, and he is an excellent, confident driver—something that really added to the comfort of the experience. What truly sets Javier apart, though, is how extremely accommodating he is. He goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcomed, relaxed, and well taken care of throughout the entire tour. If you’re visiting Montevideo and want a guide who is professional, warm, and deeply knowledgeable, Javier is an absolute gem. Highly recommended!

We had a wonderful day with Javier. He sent us detailed information before the tour which when you at visiting a strange country is very reassuring. The tour was very informative and well structured.we visited some lovely places that the cruise company did not offer it was a great day. Thank you Javier.
