Deluxe Montevideo Auto Tour | Half day (4 hours). - My husband and I were guided by our Dutch guide "Lara" on the half-day auto tour of Montevideo.
We clicked right away and while enjoying... read more a cup of coffee at THE & LAB, we discussed the 'tour'.
Lara showed us a lot:
Plaza Zabala, Metropolitan Cathedral, Plaza Constitución,
Plaza Independencia (Independence Square), in the middle of this square is the tomb of Artigas. The Solis Theater and the Presidential Tower are also on this square.
With the Minivan with driver, air conditioning, WiFi and minibar, we went to Intendencia (Montevideo City Hall). Beautiful viewpoint on the 22nd floor of the Intendencia city hall. The view from the fast glass exterior elevator is already amazing!!!
Palacio Legislativo, or Palace of Justice, located on Avenida de las Leyes. The building has 27 types of marble, from Uruguayan quarries.
Centenario Football Stadium, the stadium was built for the first World Cup in 1930 and the celebration of a hundred years of Uruguay's independence, hence the name Centenario.
After all the sights, we enjoyed a delicious "alfajor" in the minibus. Then we went to the lovely Pocitos beach. The Copacabana of Montevideo. A nice breath of fresh air and enjoy the coastline.
We also saw the: "Memorial al Holocausto del Pueblo Judio".
The memorial to the Holocaust of the Jewish people is dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust in the Second World War.
Finally, we went to "Parque Rodo".
Main city park of Montevideo. It was designed by two French architects.
Here we drank the Uruguayan tea Mate. And Lara gave us a demonstration of how Mate is drunk.
At the harbor "Mercado del Puerto", we said goodbye to Lara.
Tired but very satisfied, we walked back to our cruise ship.
Looking back on a wonderful and impressive day in Montevideo.
Thanks to Lara!!!!!
The auto tour was a perfect way for us to discover Montevideo.

Personal tour! - Took a city walk together with guide Lara (and a few other tourists). She knew a lot of fun facts and non-standard things to mention. I've done a lot of city walks, but... read more I've never seen and heard so many 'local' things on any other tour. It was a small group, which made it very personal. And the maté tasted delicious! Highly recommended!
Thanks, Lara!

VIP reception at Montevideo Airport
As soon as you step off the plane, an airport employee will be waiting to give you a VIP welcome. You’ll recognize him or her immediately by the “TOURUGUAY” sign they’re holding up. Within minutes, the staff member will escort you (past the lines and through the fast-track immigration counter) to the VIP lounge. Here, you’ll wait until your luggage is personally handed to you. In the VIP lounge, you’ll have unlimited access to the bar, featuring hot and cold beverages, and the buffet with exclusive snacks. All of this for a unique price.

Airport transfers
Our driver Leo is on hand exclusively for Touruguay clients to transport them from the airport to their accommodation—and vice versa—at a very reasonable price. No more worries about exchanging money or dealing with a host of unfamiliar taxi drivers who want to charge you an arm and a leg. You arrange payment in advance with Touruguay, and you won’t have to worry about a thing.
