It is the most frequented walk both by Uruguayans and foreigners. La Rambla, with its views of the Río de la Plata and its pink granite walls, is a fundamental part of the Montevidean identity and a mandatory visit when visiting the country's capital.

Excellent tour with lots of photos and historical notes on the oldest part of Montevideo. Enjoyed a lot, I recommend!
It was a very pleasant tour, with excellent places, very good conversation and the photographs obtained are beautiful. Recommended 100%.
Martín was quite attentive on the tour as well as in offering a photographic experience through the beautiful city of Montevidéu. It’s worth it if you want to enjoy this experience in a charming city like this one.
I loved the tour! Martin is a super friendly person and the explanations of the tour about the points we passed are always excellent. In addition to general tips about Montevideo. And, of course, the most important thing: the photos are excellent!! I loved them all.
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!
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
It was an excellent way to get to know the Old City and take a memory. Martin was very friendly and provided very interesting information and even curious data. I highly recommend it to make your visit unforgettable.
Martin is a great guide. Very attentive and helpful. We took many photos in different and important places in the city.
Martin demonstrates the knowledge needed to keep groups, always small, entertained and safe. The photo service is also exceptional!
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! :)
