Colonia & Montevideo from Buenos Aires - 100% Private Tour

Specially designed for travelers who are staying in Buenos Aires. A unique opportunity that you won't regret experimenting. A getaway to Uruguay, visiting Colonia del Sacramento and Montevideo.
If you are in Buenos Aires (or are planning to visit), you shouldn’t miss the chance to discover these two cities in Uruguay, located just a few kilometers away, across the Río de la Plata.

Colonia del Sacramento and Montevideo.
Colonia was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995, and Montevideo is the capital of the country with an immense cultural heritage. On this private tour you will discover the charms of both.

From Buenos Aires, there are two ferries to Uruguay: one bound for Colonia and the other for Montevideo.
When purchasing your tickets, make sure the outbound ticket is to Colonia del Sacramento, and the return ticket is from Montevideo.
The ferry leaves the port of Buenos Aires at 0830 hrs and arrives in Colonia del Sacramento at 0945 hrs.
I will be waiting for you at the exit of the port terminal when the ferry arrives and we will immediately begin our tour of the historical neighborhood.

We will walk through its cobblestone streets and visit the historical places of interest as:
- Lighthouse
- San Francisco Convent
- Citadels Gate
- Suspiros Street
- San Francisco Convent
- Marina and Rambla
- And more…

Then we will head to Montevideo.
As soon as we arrived, we made our first stop in the heart of the city’s old town (the historic center) to have lunch at the Mercado del Puerto.

When you finish we start the tour in the city.
I will show as much of city as I can, depending of the time. The main highlights of course but also we will go inside small neighborhoods with their own style and characteristics.
You wont only visit the “typical” picture place, you will really go “off the beaten track” to experience the local approach and everyday life.
At the end of the day, when crossing back to Buenos Aires, you can rest assured that you really got to know all Montevideo in a way nobody does.

Throughout the day we will visit the following places:

- the “Old City” with the Plaza Matriz, the Cathedral, the Cabildo, Plaza Zabala, Peatonal Sarandi, Mercado del Puerto, Plaza Independencia and the Government House, Artigas Mausoleum, etc.

- the “Rambla” (avenue along the shore, in other places is called “Malecon”) in this trip along the coast visiting various neighborhoods, parks, and beaches.
Parque Rodó, Punta Carretas, the Lighthouse, Villa Biarritz, Pocitos, Buceo, Malvin, Carrasco.

- the Parque Batlle and the Estadio Centenario, the Palacio Legislativo, and all the downtown area with the City Council Viewpoint

Also, depending on the day of the tour, we can visit street markets that are made in the different neighborhoods, or other kind of attractions like that.


At 1830 hrs I will take you to the ferry terminal at the port of Montevideo for your return to Buenos Aires. The ferry leaves at 1930 hrs and arrives at the port of Buenos Aires from which you left the day before at 2200 hrs.

As soon as I can, I will publish a second version of this tour here, allowing more time to explore both locations.
