I began my English studies at the age of 5 as a second language, having family living in the United States and England. I have lived for three years in Brazil so I also speak Portuguese fluently. I'm passionate about my city, its endless variety of natural landscapes and historic wonders, its spectacular white sand beaches and seaside promenade and many beautiful green areas. I will enjoy showing you around my city. I graduated from College as a National and International Tourist Guide. I have also lived for five months at Boston University, USA. practicing my English and travelling around exploring different amazing cities and learning about their history and culture. I worked as a bilingual English-Spanish Secretary at two Import/Export companies in Montevideo. I love knowing about different cultures and I enjoy meeting people from all over the world. I speak Spanish, English, Portuguese and understand some German, not as perfect as I would wish. It's my pleasure to offer you customized tours built around your interests. If there's anything I can help you with, hotel bookings, Airport and Buquebus Ferry transfers, car rentals or whatever you may need, please count on me. My aim is to offer a very personal and flexible tour and I hope fun too. Help you enjoy a memorable stay. It's my goal to pass my knowledge and passion to visitors, ensuring they have the opportunity to experience the best our country has to offer.

A 3 hour Tour discovering Montevideo's beautiful highlights in a private tour
Overview of your Montevideo tour
A big, natural port with a friendly, small town feel, Montevideo is one of South Anerica's hidden gems. The historic heart of Uruguay's capital is a mixture of the 19th and 20th centuries colonial, Italian and French architecture as well as the downtown commercial district, art deco and neoclassical buildings in contrast with the shopping malls and modern high rising beach districts, such as Punta Carretas and Pocitos which bear more resemblance to Miami or Copacabana. Sports, theater, music, carnival and the arts in general are alive in this fascinating seaside city. Enjoy the coastline with its magnificent waterfront avenue called Rambla. Montevideo is your home, make it a memorable experience!

Hello Michelle and Gabriel. I was met with Michelle and her husband Gabriel and our driver at the port. They are a fantastic team, very knowledgable, patient and knew where to take me to take great photos despite the rain and cloudy skies. They are both very good at helping the new tourist to see a small portion of a beautiful city. Michelle also responds very quickly to email and any concerns I had before arriving in Montevideo. Michelle and her team are very excellent guides.
