Excellent Experience

JustinMcGowan, Aug 2025

Excellent experience in Colonia Uruguay. Marcela was a great guide and very knowledgeable and did everything in English, Spanish, and Portuguese to make sure everyone felt included.

A quiet, pleasant visit, I also recommend, walking along the shore

Ritaoliveir, Aug 2025

Sacramento Colony is a pleasant place. Historic with many museums. Various restaurants and cafes. I recommend a tour of the surroundings to then go to the colony.

Do not take or leave at the hotel. Tickets not included for Toros and Farol

819nefertiti, Jul 2025

The tour starts at 8am and at 4pm we return to Montevideo. Bus with USB. Parks at Granja (free museum and store), Toros (external only) and Farol (no entrance included). The package was sold by Viator with pro Toros ticket and pro farol ticket, but was not met. Toros was only ten minutes for external photos. The lighthouse was closed on Saturday, with no warning sign on the door. Another promise in the package was to pick me up at the door of the New Arapey hotel, but it was not fulfilled. I had to go somewhere else to get on the bus. On the return to Montevideo, in the old town and in the dark/night, I had to walk alone to the hotel because I was not left at the hotel door. The promise on the package was to pick me up and leave me at the hotel door. In Colonia, I paid for entrance to six museums. Guia speaks Portuguese, Spanish and English.

Excellent family trip
