We had the best time with Laura cycling around the Old Town. She is very knowledgeable and knows the history of the country and the city well. She gave us lots of tips about what to see and where to find special items. It was especially lovely to have the opportunity to eat lunch (which she provided) outdoors and chat with her. AND we had a lot of laughs throughout our time with her. A great day !!!
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We are delighted to hear that you had such a great time cycling around the Old Town. We truly enjoyed having you with us and hope to welcome you again in Montevideo someday!

We met Valentina near the cruise terminal early on a Saturday morning in February. She led us to the bike store, pointing our the Art Deco buildings we passed. Our bikes were manuals but fine for the road conditions in Montevideo. We set off around the historic centre looking at the architecture, parks and culture. After that we went down and along the Rambla seafront for a cooler ride passing the beaches and waterfront. After suggesting a stop for a drink in a cafe, we cycled on till we found a shady park for a light picnic then returned to the start. Cycling in Montevideo is easy and on the Saturday we visited it was especially quiet. We would like to thank Valentina because she added so much more to our brief stay. She had very good language skills and knowledge of the city and went out of her way to make our tour enjoyable.

I had a lot of fun on this tour. It was very helpful for me to see a lot of Montevideo In a short period of time. Valentina was wla really good guide and she knows the city so well.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re very happy to hear you had fun and that the tour helped you see so much of Montevideo in a short time. Hope to see you back!
This was a fantastic way to get a feel for Montevideo. Lara, our guide, was extremely friendly and clearly knows what she is talking about. She took us to all the must-see sights and informed us about their background. She provided us with a great little picnic including the best empanadas ever and her own baked cake (also delicious - not sure she does that every tour!). We also drank mate as the Uruguayans do: a great experience. The (electric) bikes were new. All making for a great tour. We can thoroughly recommend this.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and got a real feel for Montevideo. It means a lot to know you appreciated the stories behind the city, the picnic, the mate experience, and the bikes too. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
This tour was a great way to explore Montevideo. Valentina was friendly and informative. Cesar did a great job fixing a flat tire quickly when one of bikes got a flat, and sharing a mate with us.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed exploring Montevideo with us. We really appreciate your feedback!
We had a wonderful day with Valentina and Cecil. We had a great ride and only 2 incidents. One a flat tire and a new bike was delivered quickly and a chain came off and immediately put back on. I think it was a fluke because the bikes are newer. We stopped for our picnic and there was so much food. The empanadas were delicious, along with the homemade apple bread and other desserts. I would recommend the e-bike as when we were riding along the river it was windy and the e-bike personally helped me a lot. I would highly recommend this tour. It was a lot of fun.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re very happy to hear you had such a fun day with Valentina and Cesar. Thank you as well for recommending the e-bike, it really does make a difference on windy days by the coast. We truly appreciate your recommendation!
Valentina was a very friendly and informative guide. Cesar helped out when one of the bikes got a flat tire and when my chain fell off, and also prepared the mate. The bike tour was a great way to explore Montevideo. Valentina also offered up some other activities for us to visit in the neighborhood of our hotel.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so happy you enjoyed exploring Montevideo by bike with Valentina. We’re also glad Cesar could help quickly along the way and that you enjoyed the mate experience. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to see you again in Uruguay!
Great way to see the old town and learn the history of the country. Ride through the modern areas on the way to a beautiful ride on La Rambla along the beach. Since all the signage at the monuments and at the mausoleum of Jose Artigas is in Spanish, It would have been more informative if our guide had interpreted that informative for our group that did not speak Spanish. Also, as an experienced cyclist, better safety instructions for biking in a group through city streets should have been given for those who are not as familiar. Thank you for introducing us to the Mate drink custom!
Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback and for joining our bike tour. We are glad you enjoyed discovering Montevideo, the ride along the Rambla and the mate experience. Your comments about interpreting the monument signage and providing additional safety instructions are very valuable. We continuously work on improving our tours and will certainly take this into account with our guides. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, and we hope you had a wonderful stay in Montevideo.
Very nice owner and Guide. We saw the old city, the newer parts of the city the oceanfront, and went to a really nice park and had a little picnic.
Thank you very much for your kind review! It was a pleasure showing you around Montevideo. We’re happy you enjoyed our bike tour! We would love to welcome you again on another Touruguay experience.
