This tour was apparently...
This tour was apparently cancelled and nobody bothered to let us know. We are extremely disappointed and expect a full refund. This behavior is irresponsible and unacceptable.
Response from the operator: Hi I am so sorry our guide is very sick and we haven't other good guide. Then i canceled the bookings. Sorry again

Great tour!
EDITH! I know she already has so many positive reviews, but here is another: my husband and I enjoyed ourselves immensely. She taught us so much about the history and culture of Montevideo and Uruguay. She was thorough and personable and funny as well as patient and open to all kinds of questions. After seeing the buildings and plazas in the city we rode on The Rambla out to the lighthouse. She gave us the option and we chose to ride back—13 km total. Do not hesitate! We highly recommend that you book this tour!!

No show, no cancellation and wasted 90 min. I’m NOT happy and NOT using Viator again. Paul 🇺🇸
Total no show - no prior notice. I scheduled this tour and paid for it. I show up early and look everywhere for the tour at the designated meet location and no one‘s there. I tried to contact the local tour guide and no response. I contacted Viator and they said they had no notice of cancellation. Well…I wasted an Uber ride to the location, walking all around, looking for the place and wasted 90 minutes trying to figure this out. Turns out the local tour company that it was assigned to by Viator, never looked at the confirmed reservation. They said well the weather was going to be bad and there was going to be a storm, so they needed to cancel for safety because we would be on bicycles and we could slip.” Would have been great if somebody let me know prior to wasting all my time chasing a tour that was never to happen. Viator must have some type of confirmation system, where a local tour company they obviously sell the tour needs to acknowledge they fecieved and will be able to support/deliver on the services! I’m NOT happy and NOT using Viator again. Paul 🇺🇸
Response from the operator: Sorry but i said wich was the problem. I cant believe you didn't understand that.

A personalized touch not offered elsewhere
This was an amazing tour to learn the history of the city and where to travel in the city after the tour. Edith went fully out of her way to make sure that the tour was successful. If you want to know the deep history she made sure you knew it. She even offered to skip over parts if people were not interested. It was all about ensuring everyone had the absolute best experience possible. Edith pointed out architecture so you saw and can notice details that many might overlook. The tour owner, Stella, even offered to let me keep the bike longer after the tour and made special arrangements for me to drop the bike off to my hotel (or local area if at an Airbnb/local) so that I can fully enjoy my time. That was very special and not offered at other tours I have done. Edith also made sure to offer local tips when traveling the city outside the tour, not only places to go but also how to ensure I had the best time in her city as possible. She also made sure the speed of going around was the right amount for all so no one was struggling but not going too slow if you wanted to bike faster. I felt incredibly safe on the streets with her and the city is great because there are bike lanes away from cars if you dislike being near traffic. Edith always had concern for those on the tour and wanted to make sure every question was answered to the fullest extent. You get to see some of the most beautiful spots of the city that walking will not take you.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your comments!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Montevideo Bike Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montevideo.
How much does Montevideo Bike Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Montevideo Bike Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Montevideo Bike Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 37 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 Montevideo Bike Tour?
+
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 Montevideo Bike Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Montevideo Bike Tour?
+
Around 13 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Montevideo Bike Tour 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 Montevideo Bike Tour?
+
Included: Bicycle use. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Montevideo Bike Tour?
+
in front of the place where the bikes are parking Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Montevideo Bike Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese 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 Montevideo Bike Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Montevideo Bike Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Montevideo Bike Tour?

Across 37 reviews averaging 4.2 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
