    A great overview of the city

    Javier met us on time and took us on a well planned tour of Montevideo. He has great knowledge of Montevideo history. He was really helpful and courteous. I highly recommend Javier and his tour of Montevideo for cruise ship travellers.

    Response from the operator: Good morning Pamela, thank you so much for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoyed the experience!!!

    Wonderful overview

    Javier was spectacular! He explained a lot about the area and history. He took us to a wide variety of places and was very accommodating. We liked stopping at the MAM and were able to taste some local beer and cider. He also took a few great pictures of our group. We highly recommend this tour. The tour is a private tour so it was only our family.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the words of recognition, it has been a pleasure meeting you. Best regards

    Fabulous Tour

    Jorge picked us up on time at the cruise terminal. It was clear he loved his City and country and enjoyed sharing the sites with us. Made it clear it was our tour and could be modified as we wished. We saw everything we had read about and enjoyed his commentary and comfortable vehicle. Definitely a great choice for our time in Montevideo.

    Response from the operator: Hello John, Jorge will be very happy with your comments, I'm glad you enjoyed your experience. Best regards Javier

    City Tour, the best option for small groups: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montevideo.

    How much does City Tour, the best option for small groups cost?

    +

    Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montevideo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does City Tour, the best option for small groups take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montevideo is not rushed.

    Is City Tour, the best option for small groups worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montevideo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule City Tour, the best option for small groups?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is City Tour, the best option for small groups suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book City Tour, the best option for small groups?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montevideo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montevideo and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does City Tour, the best option for small groups start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montevideo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Montevideo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Montevideo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Museo Andes 1972 / Crash Memorial Admission Ticket, Full Day Punta del Este, Montevideo Electric Bicycle Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Montevideo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    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?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in City Tour, the best option for small groups?

    +

    Included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does City Tour, the best option for small groups include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Montevideo. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is City Tour, the best option for small groups offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for City Tour, the best option for small groups?

    +
