Punta del Este , some call it Miami or the Saint Tropez of South America , we like to preserve its origins and show how it developed in the glamorous city that it is today . Being the most touristic city in Uruguay, we want to tell you the secrets that made it the diva of summer in the Río de la Plata and why it is an excellent option for the whole year. We are on the monument of "the hand" and from there we start a journey of two and a half hours to show you the best of Punta and talk about the Uruguayan idiosyncrasy. Some of the points visited are:
Hi, I am German! I grew up in the US and returned to Uruguay a while ago. I love sharing my country and culture and learning about other people's! I want to show you the best of Punta from the point of view of a local and someone who spent years living abroad!
Meeting point:Monument of the Castaway's FingersI'll be on the sidewalk in front of the "hand" monument with a blue umbrellaOpen in Google Maps →

Thank you to Germán for a wonderful history walking tour. We learned so much and appreciate his knowledge and friendliness. 2 added bonuses for us were he used to live in Atlanta at the same time I did and we truly had a private tour as we were the only ones on it that day. We highly recommend him and his English is perfect! Wishing you a great start to your season!

Germán was an excellent guide for the Punta del Este walking tour. I visited during the off-season and honestly wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging, insightful, and informative the tour was. Germán is knowledgeable, passionate, friendly, and thoughtful, and it was clear he genuinely cares about sharing the story of the city. The stops he chose made the tour interesting and gave great context to both the history of Punta del Este and its future development. I learned far more than I expected and really enjoyed the experience. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.

Germán hat sehr gut Englisch gesprochen und sehr gut erklärt. Wir haben sehr viel über die Entwicklung von Punta del Este und über die Geschichte Uruguays gelernt. Obwohl wir nur zwei Teilnehmer waren, hat Germán die Tour bis zum letzten Detail durchgeführt. Ein großes Lob, er ist ein sehr guter Tour Guide. Danke
