The experience has been phenomenal. Matías is an excellent guide. In addition to being charismatic and friendly, he has extensive knowledge about history and places to entertain those of us who enjoy the stories of places. The tour started on time and at no point did it become monotonous or boring. Totally recommended.

Edith was super helpful and informative; she knows so much about Uruguayan history and is always patient with us when we ask many questions. If you'd like to learn about Uruguayan culture and history, she is the best!

Our tour guide, Edith, for the Montevideo bike tour was amazing. She really loved the city and made us feel excited too. Edith told us interesting things and made sure we had a great time.

Great guide! Matias was super friendly and he really knew his stuff. The weather was cold and drizzly, but it didn't affect our enjoyment of the tour at all. Loved it!

The tour was excellent. Matias is very knowledgeable and conveys Montevideo's history and culture with enthusiasm. I had a great time!
