Colonia de Sacramento is a very uninteresting destination - since almost nothing remains of the old city
I'd like to thank you, everything was great on the tours. Super punctual, organized. Super recommend. 👏🏻☺️
Excellent..punctuality.excellent explanations..adoramoa
Sorry, there was a booking error. The executing company Viator did not go to Colonia del Sacramento on 30.04.2026, but to Punta del Este. The pick-up from the hotel was on time, the drive to Punta del Este without any problems. The tour as a whole was interesting in all parts, including the stops in Piriapolis. I used the free time in PdE extensively for sightseeing. For this tour, I give the full score. Remark Perhaps the guide should not use the Spanish routine when explaining in English: machine gun talk. English is starting to sound better. And maybe a little more enthusiasm for what he's doing.
Excellent and very complete tour. The guide Pablo was attentive, lively and brought various explanations along the way, making the trip even more interesting. We had a stop for a simple and delicious coffee at a hotel on the way, which was a great bonus. Then we visit the Plaza de Toros Real de San Carlos, the sign of the city and finally Colonia del Sacramento, which is charming. The guide also made a quick walk with an explanation of the main historical points. Then we had enough time to enjoy Cologne calmly. I was able to have lunch, ice cream, walk and visit some points of interest. On the return, there was still a stop at a museum of collections that also has a store to buy cheeses, alfajores (Sierra de minas is more artisanal and a delight!), milk candy and jelly. It was a very well spent day, despite being a long walk, around 10 hours, the experience was excellent and very well worth it
Punta del Este and Cologne both the very professional guide and driver. Thanks.
The tour canceled us even after my repeated attempts to find out what time exactly we were supposed to meet at the hotel. We showed up at the hotel the morning of our tour only to be told they had canceled us because they assumed we were still in Buenos Aires, even though we were on a cruise and were in Montevideo that morning! They should’ve known that there was a cruise ship in that day! That’s why we booked the excursion!
Colonia is a charming city, small, nice. Climbing to the lighthouse is a separate experience. The Museum of Collections is fascinating. I would like the tour to include an internal visit to Plaza de Toros. It would have been very nice.
Very good service and driving. Would have liked a longer walking tour in Colonia itself. But the guide was very nice and professional
Very good tour, definitely worth going. Paul, the guide, was fantastic. Our first stop was a remote hotel where we were welcomed with coffee/tea and croissants.
