Free walking tours in Montevideo

This tour is a must-do on your first days in Montevideo. You will not only learn a lot about Uruguay, Montevideo and the culture, but you will also go away with lots of useful information. Our guide Martin was great: funny and super knowledgeable.

Oscar was very knowledgeable and entertaining! What sets his tour apart from the others is the personalization. There were only 2 people on the tour so we got to ask questions and see what we were interested in. We passed the other tour group that had at least 15 people on it. I would take Oscars your any day!

Exceptional tour of the old colonial city and the new district. Oscar was extremely informative of the history of Urquay and Montevideo. A highlight was a free stop at a 22nd floor lookout with views of the whole city.

This tour was very interesting. Jorge, today’s guide, communicated very well in English, sharing various stories and plenty of information. It was two hours well spent. I definitely recommend it.

Oscar's tour was much more than we expected, he was a very pleasant company during the two hours we spent together. His explanations were very clear and he shared several interesting facts about the city. The structure of the tour was great, we saw both the old and new town, and we ended on a great note.

He s the best

Had a (literal) solo tour with Oscar - Tour was great! Coming from the eyes of an expat (Cuban), you get a different flavor of Montevideo than you would with a local. Appreciated everything Oscar, thanks a lot! ✌️

Recommended! Plenty of useful information, polite, cheerful guide, not rushed, tips about what to do and where to get tickets provided. All good!

We were the only 2, so it was a private tour. Great walk and the mirador on the 22flour really surprised us. Unfortunately after the tour ended all the shops and cages in old market square were closed - wish we could spend more time there

Oscar provided an excellent explanation of the history of Uruguay and Montevideo, as well as comparison to his hometown Cuba. Highly recommended for new visitors to the country!

Jorge was a great guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and with a genuine passion for Montevideo. He shared interesting facts, local stories, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and engaging. A great way to discover the city through the eyes of someone who truly loves it. Highly recommended!

Anorher great tour. Martin was excellent, full of fun, historical, informative facts and descriptions. Excellent tour

Jorge was great! He answered all our questions, had a lot of fun facts and recommendations. Communication was also very smooth prior to the tour. Highly recommend!

First walking tour and we had a great time. Lots of information received and very easy to understand (English).

Enjoyed the time with Martin getting to know Uruguay. He's got a great grasp of the history of Uruguay and also knows the cool spots.

Oscar did an excellent job as tour guide. He took the time to explain in english and spanish the info as we walk through Ciudad Vieja and downtown. Thank you very much!!

Pensamos que Jorge fue muy simpático y divertido e hizo que el tour fuera muy ameno. Las recomendaciones fueron muy buenas y aprendimos muuuucho y disfrutamos. Tambien el dia acompañó. Nos gusta que preguntara por los nombres de la gente. Lo recomendamos!!!

An excellent tour with the perfect balance of fun, history and social insights into this fascinating city. Our guide Jorge was excellent. Would highly recommend this tour!

Excellent tour with a great guide!

Jorge (Chino) was SUPER informative and HIGHLY entertaining! We enjoyed exploring MVD so much with him and he provided many interesting features and stories involving the history and culture of the city. It was such a pleasure to be on this tour which was extremely well organized. I'm sure he has dont this hundreds of times but he made it fresh and interesting! LOVED.

Nice tour with Martin :) Thanks!

Chino is well-versed in the history of Montevideo and proud of his heritage. He is experienced in making salient facts "stick" by pop quizzing us AND teaching us in a way that we could recall salient details about the fascinating history of Uruguay. I fell in love with his country, and MATE, through Chino.

Juan Pablo ha sido una excelente guía. Me ha sorprendido mucho su competencia en los hechos históricos y su capacidad de contestar a todas las curiosidades del grupo. Además de contarnos la historias de los lugares visitados, ha empatizado mucho con el grupo y nos ha entretenido con su simpatía. Las dos horas se han hecho cortas y he aprendido mucho sin aburrirme!

Oscar was a great guide. He is very knowledgable about Montevideo and its history and we had a great tour. I would highly recommend.

JP is very professionell, Interaktion with him is great - always ready for a joke. Easy for him to manage the international group. We loved the tour
