Unforgettable Punta del Este: Full-Day Luxury Coastal Escape

Great day out, Marcela spoke excellent Spanish, Portuguese & English, made sure I understood everything Would happily recommend this day trip

The trip to Punta del Este was wonderful. The views along the way were breathtaking. However, we spent too much time on the bus and less time in the actual town. People should consider an overnight and do a few other towns along the way.

The trip took us where we wanted to go, but the guide was poor. She spoke rapidly, and many words were not clear. She spoke all the time on the outward route and a good part of the return. We did try to ask, as did the lady behind us, but to no avail. There was a lot of unnecessary information given, eg, this tower block was constructed in xx year and that one in my year, and there were a lot of tower blocks overlooking the beaches. If she cut out some unnecessary information, she could slow down

Our guide was Paul. I thought Paul was very good, very knowledgeable. We were allocated the right amount of time at each stop. I thought 3hrs would be excessive in Punta del Este, but after you have lunch and walk to the hand sculpture, walk to the lighthouse, walk to the Port and have a drink/snack break in between, I arrived back to meeting point with only 5 mins to spare. What I think could be better - 1. I think the Puente de la barra (bridge) is interesting enough to allow for its own stop and to take pictures, even if just 5-10 mins. I found it difficult at times to understand what I was being told switching from English to Spanish. Maybe best to do your in English one day, Spanish the next. I found myself tuning out. It was also raining in Punta when we visited. Suggest an hour for lunch, then could take people to the main attractions and allow 30 mins for each one. Older people or people with mobility issues would find it difficult to get to all the interesting sites.

They didn't abide by all the listed stops. As they dropped us off at a midpoint which was a 15 minute walk away from either point, instead of taking us to both as listed.

It was an exceptional trip along the coast, from Montevideo to Punta del Este, passing through Piriápolis and Casapueblo in Punta Ballena. Our guide, Pablo, organized the tour in a very original way. Each traveler who joined the group was welcomed with a typical song from their home country, which quickly created a great atmosphere. Pablo then shared a wealth of information about Uruguay, covering various topics such as the economy, politics, and of course, football! This information was presented in an interesting format, as a quiz, and I can say that I retained a lot of knowledge this way. We discovered fabulous places throughout the day, and I now understand why Punta del Este is considered one of the best seaside resorts in the world. At the end of the tour, Pablo provided recommendations for Montevideo, including the best spots to try the ultimate Uruguayan dish, the chivito! I highly recommend this tour and the guide Pablo.

It’s a beautiful tour. Couldn’t give it 5 stars because we were put on a non-English speaking bus and didn’t understand anything the whole day.

Great tour and Guide is so energetic and inspiring. Also really helpful with everything you need. Thank for everything.

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour. It gave us the opportunity to see Punta Del Este and take amazing photos

The full day tour was exactly that, a full day. Picked up at 8am and got back at about 7:30pm. Most of the day was sitting on the bus, but it was comfy enough. The 2 stops on the way were in Piriapolis and the home and museum of artist Carlos Paez Vilaro. The first stop was a bit pointless, but the art museum was awesome. Punta del Este itself isn’t anything stunning. It was nice enough for a day trip. The guide spoke all the way there, which was a bit tiring to listen to as she spoke in 3 languages and very quickly. Overall a decent day out.
