A very well-conducted guided tour. The history of the Palace is very rich, and the views from its upper floors are spectacular. It is definitely worth visiting this heritage site in Montevideo.

What a fun tour. I was happy to have met Marco who was able to give the tour in English! I really feel like I got a good sense of the history of the building as well as understand Montevideo from a local. Thanks Marco!
