wonderful way to orient yourself in Montevideo

5.00A wonderful way to orient yourself in Montevideo. Went by the Montevideo sign for photo ops, to the historic Sofitel, the 'Beverly Hills' of Montevideo, to the soccer stadium with a stop for a beverage and all, to the Capital building, and to old town. Even extended our trip to include a ride to Bouza Winery. Our guide was knowledge and flexible. Loved it!
Excellent experience

5.00Making the reservation was easy and Ryan provided detailed notes about where to meet Javier and what to expect. Javier was extremely nice and knowledgable. His English was excellent. He showed us the highlights of the town and took us to a great market for lunch. We enjoyed his company so much, we asked him to join us. The vehicle was clean and spacious with pently of room for luggage & comfort. Both Ryan & Javier gave us great recommendations for dinner & evening activities which we followed and had an incredible evening based on their recommendations. I would highly recommend these services.

4.00The history explanation was excellent, Miguel had a very good knowledge of the history of Montivideo. It is a really pretty city lots of beautiful tree lined streets. There wasn't actually a lot to see but we enjoyed it anyway. Miguel was very polite and responsive to any questions we asked. We saw other tours which had a lot of guests and were glad that we booked the private tour instead of a group one
Superb customer service!!

5.00I reached out to this company to see if they could accommodate a service on the dates that I will be in Uruguay. While they did not have anything that fit my schedule, Ryan was extremely helpful with providing information that allowed me to identify a self-guided option that would suit my needs. I'm extremely picky, and I can say without any hesitation that his customer service was SUPERB!! If I was going to be staying in the country for a longer period of time, I would definitely book a tour with The Wine Experience!! I'll keep it in mind for my next trip, for sure!!
An incredibly detailed and professional guiding experience

5.00A really excellent experience. From the time of booking Ryan gave us a load of tips for Montevideo and the surrounding area and connected us with our guide for the day - Dario. Dario is a local expert! There’s nothing he doesn’t know about Uruguay or Montevideo and really helped us understand the history of the country, from pre-Colombian, through Spanish and Portuguese colonisation, independence, and the modern day with current issues thrown in. Dario is really passionate (he’s written a guidebook and hosted a radio show on tourism in Uruguay!) which is really contagious. Both Ryan and Dario have given us more tips (including restaurants, museums, and wine) for the rest of our trip, including Buenos Aires. Really great experience.
Fantastic Tour

5.00We had a fantastic tour of Montevideo with Miguel. He was incredibly knowledgeable and fun to be with. The depth of his knowledge of the history of Uruguay was very impressive. Miguel was also very receptive to our many questions. His enthusiasm and love for his country and his city shone through on the entire tour.
