Hola! I'm Shalako and if you're looking to book a private tour in Uruguay from a knowledgeable and native born guide you're in the right place! I'm advanced in social studies, with a solid academic and updated cultural backround. I'm also a licenced airplane pilot, and licenced cook. My english is native since I attended a bilingual school at a British Institute and possess the international Proficiency in English exam from Cambridge University. This enabled me to work for Internacional Consultancy Companies and Airlines companies attending passengers before becoming a tour guide on season enjoying the sun with visitors from around the world. Overall I'm proudly born and raised in Uruguay; I feel the city of Montevideo as a part of me. I know and love this place and would love for you to join me on a flexible easy going tour, discovering the stories each corner of Montevideo has to tell us, making the most of your time here to get more than a glimpse of this beautiful country and its people! Looking forward to meeting You! English Professor. Bachelor in Social Anthropology. Professional airplanes pilot. I cannot pick you inside the port but I can meet you in a pre-arranged location just outside the Port and walk to the vehicle.

Shalako took us under his wing and provided us with a flexible, fun, informative and unhurried experience. His knowledge is extensive, and his connection with us as his clients was exemplary. We learnt so much and built on our growing knowledge of Uruguay.
