    Great tour

    This tour was one of the best I've ever been on. Our guide, Martin, was not only a great guide but also a great photographer. He took us to all the sights, including ones not mentioned online. He helped us take pictures so we didn't have to worry about how to get the best pictures. Thanks, Martin!

    Highly recommend this photo tour

    I highly recommend this experience! As a solo traveler, I rarely get photos of myself so this was a treat! Martin is very knowledgeable and passionate about Uruguay and takes the time to explain. Perfect for solo travelers, 5 star experience

    Can’t Miss in Montevideo!

    Martin is the best! He was able to take so many nice pictures of myself and my boyfriend on our first trip to Montevideo, I would highly reccomend him! He took us to many nice spots that we hadn’t visited downtown and was able to tell us the history of everything in an hour! Lastly, we had an issue downloading our pictures but he was quick to communicate with us and resolve the issue! :)

    Skip the language barrier.

    Martin was punctual and prompt. Though he spoke little English, he used technology well to community us. He was considerate, knew his route, kept checking if the app commentary was working. He took photos diligently and accepted our requests when we made them. What could be better? The GPS synchronisation.sometimes the app starts the commentary when we are still away from the site. 2. The number of spots to be visited is shown on app as over 35. But we did not go everywhere and I understand that some tours will cover some places but this was unclear

    Montevideo: Walking Tour with Photographer and Audioguide: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Montevideo: Walking Tour with Photographer and Audioguide cost?

    +

    Prices start at $38 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: Walking Tour with Photographer and Audioguide take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.8 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: Walking Tour with Photographer and Audioguide worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 38 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: Walking Tour with Photographer and Audioguide?

    +

    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: Walking Tour with Photographer and Audioguide suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Montevideo: Walking Tour with Photographer and Audioguide?

    +

    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 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Montevideo: Walking Tour with Photographer and Audioguide 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.
