Hi! It will be an honor for me to provide you with a comprehensive tour of my city! I am an avid traveler and my goal is to visit every single country in the world, having been to 44 so far. I can speak 5 languages, am passionate about knowing other cultures, and will always do my best to provide a 5-star service. Having lived and studied in Australia for 4 years, allowed me to improve my English and also to interact with people from all over the world. Apart from having a degree in Business Administration, I have a Tour Guide degree, and on top of the formal education, have read no less than 30 books about Uruguay, as well as documentaries, because I am passionate about my country. My passion for sharing stories and the history of my country will make this private tour unique for you. I will take you to places off the beaten track and you'll see everything from a local perspective, not a commercial one. My hobbies vary from scuba diving to aviation (I'm a private pilot too!). I love animals more than anything else and support various NGOs as much as possible. Regarding the tours, I will never be in a hurry, I dedicate every single moment to my guests and will not hesitate to go the extra mile and show you a bit more. The goal of my tours is to make tourists feel we have been friends for a long time and make them feel at home! I am also very flexible and pickup locations and starting times can be arranged without issue. Hope to see you soon! - Business Administration Analyst Degree (Ort University Uruguay) - Bachelor of Business Administration (Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia) - Tour Guide Degree (UTU - DGETP, Uruguay) None.

    Javier was a great guide for Montevideo. We were able to cover the entire city from west to east very efficiently. He knows some great spots for photos, and seeing that I was a fellow pilot, made plans to visit a fascinating little museum dedicated to the survivors of a tragic crash in the Andes in 1972. He was willing to be flexible with time, and is an easy...

    We took Javier’s tour of Montevideo while our cruise ship was docked for a day. He met us at the port and drove us to all the neighborhoods and areas of Montevideo. He drove us around in his very comfortable all electric SUV. We got out and walked around the old town and the center of town seeing all the sites. Javier is very knowledgeable about history of Uruguay and...
