Private Highlights of Montevideo

Immerse yourself in the enchanting culture, history, and charm of Montevideo, Uruguay’s capital city, with a personalized, private tour. Ditch the large groups and tailor your voyage through this vibrant Latin American metropolis to your interests.

Kickstart your adventure right from the pier, hopping into a comfortable, air-conditioned car accompanied by a professional, local guide knowledgeable about the city. Explore the city crowned as the 8th destination on the 2013 MasterCard Global Destination Cities Index for Latin America.

Unleash your inner historian in the Old Town, the cradle of Montevideo's history. Witness the architectural grandeur of Spanish military fortifications, antique shops, Solis Theatre, The Cabildo, the Metropolitan Cathedral and more.

Next, find yourself in the pulse of the city, Plaza Independencia. Here, appreciate the solemnity of the Mausoleum of General Artigas, surrounded by the regal Estevez and Salvo Palaces. Continuing your journey, stand in awe of the exquisite neoclassical architecture of the Parliament Palace, a glowing testament to Uruguay's democratic values.

From there, a scenic ride takes you to Montevideo's sprawling Mercado Agricola (MAM), a city block-long market that started as a humble vegetable stand in 1913. It has since boomed into a lively shopping hub, with vendors still selling fresh produce.

Journey then to the Prado neighborhood, home to the Presidential Residence and Botanical Garden. Witness the bronze and granite Obelisco De Los Constituyentes, a tribute to the country's first constitution.

Stroll through Parque Batlle, the city’s largest public park, and pause at La Carreta, a bronze monument emblematic of Uruguay’s history. Next door is the famous Estadio Centenario, declared a World Football Historical Monument by FIFA.

Experience the breathtaking bay view from Buceo neighborhood, a historical site of naval combat and independence wars and home to the Arab-style, Damaso Antonio Larranaga Oceanographic Museum.

Treat your senses with a panoramic view of Carrasco, Punta Gorda, and Pocitos Beach, and snap a memorable photo at the iconic Montevideo sign. The Punta Carretas neighborhood greets you next with the majestic Punta Brava Lighthouse.

Wrap up your expedition with a brief stop at the bustling Port Market, bustling with mouthwatering Uruguayan barbecue and theatrical street performances.

This tour's perfect blend of history, architecture, culture, and cuisine guarantees a comprehensive yet personal perspective of Montevideo - ideal for those short on time but eager for a rich, local experience.
