We had a great private tour!!!! Both the driver and the guide truly understood our group and worked very hard to successfully give us the perfect tour!! I would highly recommend you sing them for your outing! They will make it perfect for you!

Our private group of 14 passengers from the HAL cruise ship had the pleasure of spending the day touring Montevideo and Bodega Bouza vineyard with Andres and Belen. We arranged our tour directly with Andres 6 months prior to the cruise, and he was able to customize the tour to accommodate all of our requested stops. It was an extremely comprehensive and enjoyable day of touring topped off by delicious tapas and wine tasting. Highly recommended!

You get see a lot in these 4 hours. The guide Pablo was extremely knowledgeable and customized the tour for us. He was pleasant and had a good sense of humor. The vehicle was comfortable and suitable for our group. I would highly recommend.

Communication prior to our excursion was outstanding and set the right tone. Andres met us promptly at 9:00am as expected. The city tour was fantastic and so enjoyable! Andres was so informative and friendly with excellent English which made the tour so memorable. He allowed us to input on what we wanted to see and tailored our tour for a great experience of the city. From the onset, as the owner of the company, Andres wants your experience to be as friends would enjoy spending the day together. The van with huge windows for our group of four was new and extremely comfortable. Do not hesitate to book this tour. Andres is outstanding and a true ambassador for the beautiful city of Montevideo!

Montevideo, our first visit to this city in Uruguay. Pablo, from Blanco Tours, was our guide. He was friendly and very informative. Zabala Square was our first stop. There is a monument of the founder of Montevideo. We then visited the Plaza Matriz, which has the first potable water fountain. There was also a market to shop. The cathedral was closed so we didn’t get to see the inside. The lookout, Mirador Panoramico, showed us a panoramic view of entire city. The Plaza Independencia had a mausoleum and monuments, honoring Jose Artigas, the country’s hero. An adjacent street was accessed though the entry arch of the original city walls. We watched street performers dancing the Tango. We saw a beautiful beach and grassy area filled with little parrots. We then stopped at the stadium of Uruguay’s National Team futbol team. They hosted the first World Cup here in 1930 and won! I loved stopping at the Mercado Agricola. It was a great food hall. Having a beer there was a relaxing stop. We ended the tour with a stop outside of the Congress Building. We were lucky to see so much of this city in a short amount of time.

Jaime was the best- we had a wonderful day and Jaime brought the city to life for us-an excellent tour guide and excursion.

This is the second time we've toured Montevideo with Blanco Tour Uruguay. Belen was out guide the first time and did such a great job we requested her for this visit with friends who had never been to Montevideo. They were all really happy with her and said if they ever get back, they'll use the same company. She's very knowledgeable and very accommodating to any requests to see a sight or do a little shopping. She allowed enough time at each stop explain the significance and was able to answer all of our questions!

We had a wonderful time in Montevideo and this tour touches all the bases! It was informative, covered a wide range of history and fun! Highly recommend!
