My name is Favio, and I am a local tour guide and tour operator with 4 years of guiding experience. I come from a family deeply rooted in the Tourism industry in Uruguay, which has given me a strong foundation and passion for welcoming travellers. Having lived several years in the United States, I speak English at a very high level, which allows me to connect easily with international guests. What makes my tours different is the professional balance I bring: the right mix of charisma, meaningful insights and up-to-date context that helps visitors truly understand Colonia in the times we live in. My approach is personal and flexible—I work with small private groups and include transportation, with itineraries adapted to the interests of my guests—ensuring authentic local connections and unique experiences in Colonia del Sacramento and its surroundings (including day trips to Montevideo if requested).
