Hello,
I am a architect, Gabriel is my name, Uruguay it certainly is a vibrant and exciting place to live, and to visit.
Montevideo is a seaside city, with beautiful views all around.
Choose from short tours, full day tours, themed tours, or let us put together a tour tailor made for just you and your requirements.
Overall happiness is said to depend much on satisfaction in different life domains, one of which is leisure travel.
As an architect, I studied the history of the cities, as Montevideo, Punta del Este and Colonia del Sacramento, and their development since their fundation, in 1726, up to now.
You will learn about our social history and anecdotes. Uruguayan people background and culture.
Our way of living, income, health care, typical foods, and folklore.
I studied at Joliet Junior College and H. S. (Illinois, USA) and also lived in Brazil and Argentina (born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, living in Uruguay since the 1950's).
Travel-Assistance
Speaking English and Portuguese fluently and as I frequently travel to Brazil and Argentina I can offer back-office assistance for making all kind of reservations.
I will be glad to advise you about hotels, hostels, best rent-a-car options, reliable bus companies, and what-to-do in these 3 countries.
If you are in Buenos Aires, you may come for the day by a 3 hour ferry
or a 45 min. flight.
I may also arrange transfers from the Airport to the hotel and from the hotel to Buquebus Ferry Terminal or docks and Bus Terminal.
Our vans and cars are authorized by both Ministry of Tourism and local Municipalities with blue and green plates, required by law. I have a professional chauffeur, so I can pay full attention to you during the tour. We won't have to worry about parking so we can spend more time seeing, learning and enjoying our beautiful sunny city.
We use different kinds of vehicles according to the number of passengers, including cars, vans(4 to 16 passengers), minibuses and buses (for 17 to 42 passengers). All car or van tours could be lengthened one or two more hours as a walking option, around the historical Old City area, without charge.
MONTEVIDEO AND PUNTA DEL ESTE PACKAGE
If you are visiting both Montevideo and Punta del Este in a Cruise, ask for a 2 days Package Tour for both cities.
These are my 5 Tips to guarantee you a memorable and exciting visit to Montevideo:
1. Montevideo is a safe city, although I would recommend you to take care of your personal belongings.
2. Average temperature in midsummer: 79°F to 85°F
3. Major credit cards are accepted all around, Money exchange shops and ATM are everywhere. Once your card is used, take it immediately, otherwise the ATM might "eat" it.
4. Water and food quality have the same standard you may find in USA or Europe.
5: Tips in restaurants are 10%. Usually every customer is charged around a 3 dollar "Table Fee", ("cubierto").
It's my goal to help you get the most out of your visit to this beautiful country!

For Montevideo Cruise passengers:
If you have any physical limitations walking 200 meters (about 218 yards) from the cruise to the exit door to the port, I could hire a special car/van with a port license to pick you inside the port area. |
