Hello! My name is Fabian, I am passionate about surfing, good music and gourmet cooking, as well as I had some very nice experiences both in the US and in many cities in Brazil, in both cases as a tourist first, but then as a citizen of each one of these countries, today, I offer you a great tour, through one of the wonders of my country.

Tour description

If you travel to Montevideo you can't miss this tour!
In a maximum of two hours we will visit the places that you cannot miss.
This is a free tour of the Old City of Montevideo, starting at the gates of what was the walled colonial city and all the curious and relevant facts about the history of my homeland!!
Among all the historical and architectural beauties that are still maintained as local heritage, there are beauties and icons such as the Mother Cathedral, where in 1988 it was visited and declared a Basilica by Pope John Paul II and all the curiosities such as, for example, the remains of our heroes, the chapel of the saint and the baptismal font of our hero José Gervasio Artigas , which make this a central and unmissable point!!
The also emblematic Plaza de Armas or Plaza Matriz , with its historic fountain and relationship in design with Freemasonry.
The picturesque Mercado del Puerto , where you can find dozens of gourmet options of classic dishes such as Uruguayan meat and our excellent wines.
The tango museum , where you can learn more about this very Creole and sensual rhythm.
The town hall of Montevideo
, with all the history of our nation.

There will be time at each point to explore it and take the photos you want, with great groups, with excellent energy and, above all, very good humor and vibes.
