Hi! My name is Mariana. I'm a Uruguayan woman who loves her country, its culture and would love to share it with you! If you are looking for an interesting and different tour, look no further! I'm a philosophy student, and maybe that explains why I have a big range of interests. I love music and dance, I have studied salsa, folklore, tango and candombe. As almost every Uruguayan, I play football, that's our national sport, if you don't like football, you are not Uruguayan! I have studied English all my life; I have worked as an English teacher in an institute and also in customer service of a famous American Company. I therefore have an advanced level in the language. Uruguay is a beautiful country, with a beautiful culture, a very rich history and the people are really warm, I proudly say that I'm Uruguayan. I can't imagine myself living away from Uruguay. If you let me, I can show you why I'm saying this. The amazing view of "la Rambla", the continuous move between past and present in the "Ciudad Vieja", the enormous variety of flavors and smells in our gastronomy, or the dozens of surprising stories that are hidden in every corner of our city, are just a small part of the things to discover on our tour. I would enjoy a lot being your guide, and provide you with all the knowledge and passion I have for this place in order to make this experience unforgettable. Philosophy Teacher English Teacher -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.

Overview of your Montevideo tour

Uruguay is known as a young country between two big potencies with a small population. Montevideo as the capital city is a sample of the country, don't expect to find here the turbulence of a metropolis. Drinking mate, eating an asado, playing a soccer match or dancing candombe are typical Uruguayan activities that we love and preserve as an the heritage from our ancestors that came from different parts of the world, we can say that the Uruguayan identity is something that was built through the years by the citizens. In this tour we'll have time enough to get more than just a glimpse of our city, I propose you to put together the pieces of the puzzle of the Uruguayan culture: history, architecture, food, music, politics, sports, and really beautiful and natural places to visit conform our itinerary. This is a small place but there is plenty to see. As a proudly Uruguayan who loves this place, I would love to share my country and especially my city with you!

I had an outstanding tour of Montevideo with Marianna. She was knowledgeable, professional, and made the entire day both enjoyable and informative. She shared the city's history in a way that was engaging and easy to follow, and her English is absolutely perfect, which made the experience effortless. What really stood out was how much she went above and beyond. She tailored the tour to my interests, answered every question, and made sure I got a genuine feel for Montevideo beyond the usual tourist highlights. I highly recommend Marianna to anyone visiting Montevideo. Whether it's your first visit or you're considering spending more time in the city, you couldn't ask for a better guide.

I took the Montevideo Shore Excursion Tour - Full Day, hosted by Mariana F. What a wonderful experience. Montevideo though modest in population is a diverse city with distinctive and varied neighbourhoods. Mariana was exceptional, compiling a tour that commenced in the city's old town explaining Montevideo's colonial origins, quest for independence and progression to modern metropolis. I was treated to historical monuments, architectural treasures, and an insight into contemporary Uruguayan lifestyle. Importantly it was Mariana's passion for her city and country that made the tour such a special experience, reinforced by her caring nature and stamina for a full six hours. Excellent tour.

Mariana gave us a wonderful balance of sites, history, culture, and dance all mixed up in a comfortable flow, as we explored the neighborhoods and downtown of Montevideo. She was easy to talk to and talk with and we covered lots of ground with both chit-chat and deeper subjects. She was just what we needed for our day.

Top notch from start to finish. Booking was easy and you provided great communication prior. The tour was excellent. Mariana exceeded our expectations. She was personable, professional and had a wealth of knowledge. We like that it was not all facts and figures but feelings about her country, living in Montevideo, the culture, the people and how Uruguay came to be. Would not hesitate to recommend her to other people. Corey and Brenda Lodi California
