Our leader, Tiago, knew...
Our leader, Tiago, knew the history and politics of the area. He also told us all about Carnival so we had a better understanding of what it was about when we saw a performance at the museum later. We were the only two on the ride which made it even better!
via Viator
A fabulous day out if you like a cycling tour of the city
Fabulous day with a fabulous guide Tiago He was a wealth of information for somebody so young and explain the whole history so thoroughly.

Okay
The guide was very nice. Need bathroom breaks, less stops. Also confusion between Viator app start time and tour company made us late. Tour longer than advertised.
Response from the operator: We appreciate your feedback! 😊 We're glad you found the guide to be nice, but we're sorry for any confusion regarding the start time and tour duration. We understand how important bathroom breaks and the right balance of stops are, and we’ll definitely take your input into account to improve our experience. 🚍✨ If you ever decide to tour with us again, we’d love to ensure a smoother experience for you! Thank you for sharing your thoughts. 🙌

Great Bike Tour of Montevideo!
Tiago was a SUPERB guide, and the route we were taken on was ideal. Information given was interesting, thorough and thought-provoking. My wife's and my only complaint would be the quality of bike that we were given to ride during the tour. The four other members of the tour group seemed to have no trouble with their newer bikes, but our cycles needed maintenance and perhaps a tune-up in comparison. Otherwise, this is an EXCELLENT bike tour which is FAR more reasonably priced, better designed and more personable than other cruise ship sponsored bike tours. HIGHLY recommend!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your glowing review and for highlighting Tiago’s superb guidance and the thoughtful route! We’re thrilled you and your wife enjoyed the tour and found it such great value. We sincerely apologize for the condition of the bikes provided to you. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll ensure that all bikes are properly maintained and tuned up to avoid such issues in the future. We’re delighted to hear you’d highly recommend our tour and hope to welcome you both back for an even better experience next time! Warm regards,

Biking Adventure in Montevideo, Uruguay
The adventure started well from the beginning and met with Yellow Penguin staff holding a sign just after the exit point from the Port terminal. There were two guides while biking, one in the front leading and one in the back making sure no one is left behind from the group. It was around 4 hours total. Someone mentioned it was 34 miles total. No bottled water was provided for the entire tour. Fortunately, I had a bottled water with me. The last leg of the tour from the Montevideo sign to return to the port was long and very tiring with no rest but one quick restroom break at a small cafe for one person who could not hold it anymore. It was very hot and I got sun-burned. Three of us were left behind by the group and my legs were hurting so much due to no rest that I had to ask the back guide for a few minutes break. The last 3 of us from the group finally made it back very very tired. It's quite an experience but I won't do this in Montevideo again.

Montevideo on Two Wheels: Shared Bike Tour for Cruise Travelers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montevideo.
How much does Montevideo on Two Wheels: Shared Bike Tour for Cruise Travelers 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 on Two Wheels: Shared Bike Tour for Cruise Travelers 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 on Two Wheels: Shared Bike Tour for Cruise Travelers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 5 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 on Two Wheels: Shared Bike Tour for Cruise Travelers?
+
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 on Two Wheels: Shared Bike Tour for Cruise Travelers 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 on Two Wheels: Shared Bike Tour for Cruise Travelers?
+
Around 2 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 on Two Wheels: Shared Bike Tour for Cruise Travelers 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.
