Description
If you are in Buenos Aires or planning to go, you cannot miss the chance to visit Montevideo.
The “Silver Cup” or the “Sleeping Beauty” of the Atlantic, on this day tour you will discover its charms.
In recent years I have received many travelers who were visiting Buenos Aires and took the opportunity to get away for a day to Montevideo.
They were amazed by the tranquility of this city, its internal life, its architecture, parks, the close link with the sea, and its characteristic culture that differentiates it from the rest of Latin America, even Argentina.
It is going to be a long but fruitful day, and you will be left wanting to return in the future with more time to deeply explore this city and other parts of the country.
Since this tour involves coordination with the ferry that will take you to Montevideo, what I suggest is that prior to booking you contact me to adjust the details and after you purchase the ferry tickets, we proceed with our tour reservation.
Please note that the ferry departs from the port of Buenos Aires at 0730hrs and returns to the same port at 2200hrs. So it's going to be an intense day.
I will be waiting for you at the port of Montevideo when the ferry arrives and we will immediately begin our tour of the city.
I will show you the full city and the main highlights of it, but also we will go inside small neighborhoods with their own style and characteristics.
You wont only visit the “typical” picture place, you will really go “off the beaten track” to experience the local approach and everyday life.
At the end of the day, when crossing back to Buenos Aires, you can rest assured that you really got to know all Montevideo in a way nobody does.
Throughout the day we will visit the following places:
- the “Old City” with the Plaza Matriz, the Cathedral, the Cabildo, Plaza Zabala, Peatonal Sarandi, Mercado del Puerto, Plaza Independencia and the Government House, Artigas Mausoleum, etc.
- the “Rambla” (avenue along the shore, in other places is called “Malecon”) in this trip along the coast visiting various neighborhoods, parks, and beaches.
Parque Rodó, Punta Carretas, the Lighthouse, Villa Biarritz, Pocitos, Buceo, Malvin, Carrasco.
- the Parque Batlle and the Estadio Centenario, the Palacio Legislativo, and all the downtown area with the City Council Viewpoint
Also, depending on the day of the tour, we can visit street markets that are made in the different neighborhoods, or other kind of attractions like that.
In Montevideo the Museums that are held by the City Council are free, and we will visit some of them.
Of course we cant give them the right time to all of them but you can get an idea of what they offer in art, culture, and history.
At lunch time you can choose between something quick on the go so as not to waste time or one of the restaurants in the city.
Generally, visitors choose the Mercado del Puerto, which brings together a wide variety of barbecues. There are also artists who play the guitar, dance candombe, exhibit paintings, etc.
The architecture of the place is art in itself.
At approximately 1830hrs, we will return to the port to take the ferry back to Buenos Aires.
Highlights
- Experience the real every day life of the city

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
As in all our tours and destinations, I make the following observations:
This is your Tour, with your times and preferences, I am your guide to take you to the best places and advise you, but you are the ones who set the pace and what you prefer to dedicate more or less time to.
If you like to stop, we stop … if you want to continue, we continue.
I am not very strict or bureaucratic when it comes to the total duration of the ride and the return time, so you can enjoy yourself.
The vehicle to be used is licensed for 7 people, including the driver, and there are safety features for everyone.
The ideal number of adults in the group should be 4 of medium build so that they can travel in total comfort.
It is also possible to incorporate 2 children or adolescents if they are not large.
The clarification is because the 3rd row seat is smaller than the rest.
Buquebus Terminal in the Montevideo Port.
The ferry arrives here and I´ll be waiting you at the main entrance.
When should I book?
To guarantee availability book as soon as possible. Early booking is worth consideration especially if you planning the trip during high season like public holidays or weekends.
