Discover the Old Town of Colonia del Sacramento with an official guide who will tell you the history and curiosities of each place, in addition to recommending the best restaurants and activities in the city and the area. We will walk through the Field Gate, "La Calle de los Suspiros", the lighthouse, the yacht harbor and the church, among others. The walking tour lasts approximately 1:30 hours and is done in small groups. It starts at "La Fuente Portuguesa", next to the church "Basílica del Santísimo Sacramento", and follows a circular route through the Old Town, ending at the starting point. Colonia del Sacramento is a picturesque and welcoming city, a must-see when visiting Uruguay or Buenos Aires. It can be seen in just one day, but it is recommended to spend a night to enjoy one of the best sunsets in Uruguay and walk through the Old town under the warm light of the typical lanterns from Colonia. Hope to see you soon!

Ida was an excellent, knowledgeable and friendly guide who also speaks very good English so we were able to ask lots of questions and have a conversation. Very interesting city and history. The tour is highly recommended

I really enjoyed my tour with Idoia. She had a wealth of knowledge to share that I’m not sure I would have learned from another guide. I learned a lot about the history of la Colonia de Sacramento and of Uruguay. Great experience overall and highly recommend.

Had a very insightful tour on the history and culture of Colonia and Uruguay. Our tour guide, Mayra, is the best tour guide we’ve ever had. She was friendly, enthusiastic and a pleasure to be around. We thoroughly enjoyed her company!

Knowledgeable guide, able to switch easily between Spanish and English and accommodate all of our group and our questions. Felt like I got a good historical context for the town, and we were able to do it even in the wind and rain! Still a good time.
