We didn’t know much about Uraguay at the start. Miguel taught us so much and his love of country was evident. He is extremely knowledgable and answered all our questions. He was flexible and accommodating. It was one of our favorite tours.

A Perfect Montevideo Experience with Miguel! Our 4-hour tour around Montevideo with Miguel was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we started, he brought the city to life with his passion, deep knowledge, and incredible storytelling. He guided us through Uruguay’s rich history, its beautiful and diverse architecture, and the everyday life that makes Montevideo so special. Every stop came with meaning, context, and heart - the kind of insights you only get from someone who truly loves their country. Miguel made the tour feel personal, fun, and unforgettable. If you want to understand Montevideo not just as a visitor, but through the eyes of someone who celebrates it every day, Miguel is the guide you want.
We did the tour with Mike (Miguel) and he is honestly amazing. He went above and beyond and actually extended the tour by an hour to ensure we visited all places. He was extremely knowledgeable and knew a lot about the history of Uruguay. Highly recommend this tour!
Miguel "Mike" couldn't have been any nicer! He gives great information but keeps it interesting and engaging the whole time. He also spoke 3 languages expertly so his tour is a great option for many travelers!
Miguel gave us a very memorable and informative tour of Montevideo. It felt very unique and personalised as it was just us and him, so we had his full attention. He shared the city’s history in a clear and engaging way, and added great context to everything we saw on the tour - which made everything a lot more interesting. A great way to get to know the city!
What an amazing tour! Couldn't believe about the stories of Uruguay and Montevideo! Along with the connections to other areas such as The Falkland Islands. Miguel is such a good guide and surprised us with hidden histories! Worth the trip.
Miguel is a great tour guide who knows the history of the city like no other. He walks you through the colonial times, the (rather complex) struggle for independence and the golden age of the country in the late 19th/early 20th century. Besides that, you can enjoy the beautiful architecture of the city, which is a must see if you like Art Deco. Miguel makes sure that you get all the details behind the building's history. Highly recommended!
Miguel did a wonderful job of communicating with us and offering his suggestions for us to have the perfect experience, even beyond the scope of the tour. Ricardo, our guide for the morning, was fantastic, so personable and knowledgeable. He offered suggestions for us to continue exploring on our own after the tour was finished. The clean and very comfortable van picked us up at our hotel (and the other guests too). Emiliano the driver was kind and helpful too. What a great team and fabulous experience. We highly recommend this tour!
It was my first ever trip to Uruguay and Miguel was my tour guide to visit Punta Del Este. He arrived on time to pick me up from my hotel in his tourist car and took us on a comfortable ride to show us the following places: - Museo Taller de Casapueblo - The beachfront at Maldonado - The famous beach hands at Punta Del Este - The waterfront at Punta Del Este (we got to see sea lions at close quarters) - Punta de Las Salinas (the southernmost point in Uruguay) - The famous Punta Del Este Casino Miguel speaks very good English as well as Portuguese in addition to Spanish, and he made it a truly memorable experience for me!! Miguel is very knowledgeable about the finer aspects of Uruguayan history and life in general, and he’s also a great conversationalist! I really learnt a LOT about this INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL country 🇺🇾 just by travelling with him, and will VERY STRONGLY recommend his guided tours! Muchas gracias amigo! Hasta la proxima! Hasta pronto! - Mukund
Very full and interesting tour with Miguel He covered all the history of Uruguay and took us to all the key spots in Montevideo. The old town square was full of historical buildings and beautiful architecture. Miguel’s English was perfect so we were able to relax and enjoy his charismatic style.
The tour with Miguel was a 10/10 experience, personalized according to my particular interest in architecture but without failing to learn about everything in the city where I will be for the next few months. Highly recommended!
Great service since the reservation, everything well organized and timed. Safe and calm. However, please pay attention to the guide Miguel "Mike". In addition to careful and friendly the way he exposes each place is impartial. Looks like a teacher. Congratulations to everyone on the team and have more "Miguels" like this one. Thanks.
Miguel is a very nice, kind and cult guide. We learned a lot during the walk! It was very fun and enriching. I highly recommend!
Miguel is super attentive, we felt very well served. Assistance from the start to the end of the tour is welcome.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to our guide in Montevideo. He was absolutely amazing, sharing with us a fascinating view of the city, always with a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm. In addition, the car was extremely comfortable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The photos he took from GNT were excellent. Without a doubt, it made our visit even more special. Thank you very much for the excellent service and the wonderful experience!
Very good everything. Excellent the two people involved both your explanations and your answers to our questions

Hice el tour con mi pareja y turistas extranjeros canadienses, Miguel nos planteó el tour y el recorrido en ambos idiomas y se manejó muy bien, recorrimos gran parte del centro histórico de montevideo exponiendo la historia , el arte y la cultura que rodea la ciudad. Sin duda una experiencia enriquecedora y que recomendamos mucho ! totalmente agradecidos
Me encanto el tour. Miguel fue muy cordial y buen guía, aprendí mucho de la historia de Uruguay, hermosos paisajes y la arquitectura de Ciudad Vieja, sacamos muchas fotos de Plaza Independencia, Teatro Solis y la peatonal. Lo recomiendo totalmente.
