    Street food tour review

    The food tour with Walter was excellent. We made 5 stops, all interesting and delicious. Walter did a fine job of meeting our needs and his knowledge of the street food scene and Montevideo was excellent. We highly recommend this experience.

    Great experience tasting local foods

    It was our first trip to Montevideo as two 50-something American men. Our guide Walter was punctual, knowledgeable, and had a lot of insights on local cuisines and customs. He brought us some mata to share as well. We had probably five different local foods, but he also took us on a nice walking tour in the area. Highly recommended.

    Avoid this tour on Sunday!!!

    This tour should not even be offered on a day when almost all commerce/shops are closed. Our bad for not doing our due diligence to know that going in. We wish our guide would have accepted our offer to reschedule as it was obvious from the start that this tour would be extremely limited. Our guide Jackie did the best with what she could. We did enjoy chatting with her. Ironically our highlight was visiting a record/t-shirt making store while waiting for restaurants to open. The limitations of the day did deliver some unexpected fortune when we stopped for pizza and they did not have pizza. ?!?!? We were flexible and asked Jackie to order a chivito which she did and we all enjoyed. While this tour appear to offer a great experience (according to the reviews) I can assure you as someone that has done many good tours in a dozen countries that this tour on a Sunday should be avoided.

    The tour was easy to...

    The tour was easy to book. Our guide, Walter contacted us prior to the tour to confirm the meeting place. It can be a bit tricky finding the place downtown. There are not big signs on buildings. Walter was a warm and friendly guide. I would highly recommend him as your tour guide. The food places chosen demonstrated authentic Uruguayan food. The food was amazing. Thank you Walter for a great tour.

    Local Food and Fine Conversation

    This was a wonderful experience. We had an abundance of food and an abundance of historical knowledge. Daniel and his partner were so friendly and helpful. We felt extremely comfortable with both of them.

    What should I bring or wear?

    When is the best time to visit Montevideo?

    +

    How many days do you need in Montevideo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +
