There were three of us and it was great. Insights into the old town, drive along the sea and across the city back again. Together with our guides' explanations about the country and its people, it was an interesting and instructive day. The enthusiasm of our guides about "their" city and "their" country was carried over to us. We have been Urugay fans ever since

It was an interesting excursion to get to know the soul of MTV, the guide Miguel is very popular with the locals and took us to several important and historical places. At the end of the tour he was kind enough to drop us off close to our hotel. I strongly recommend it and I continue to admire Uruguay

Wonderful experience. With how flat Montevideo is and the light traffic it is a great city to explore by bike. With how easy the ride is wish it had been longer so could have seen more.

Everything you have to see in Montevideo, plus information about history, culture and politics. Finally, you can work off a little more on the Ramla .. Tour, bikes and guide exelente.

Great tour in both inside the city and around the see
