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.
