Very good and knowledgeable guides. Arrived for pick up on time and has good recommendations for places to eat and see. Will recommend to our friends. Both Andres and Jaime made our stay in Uruguay simply memorable

Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you or your friends again in the future. Kind regards, Blanco Tour Uruguay Team
Great tour to see outside of Montevideo. It was nice to see the coast and of course visit the sites Def. would recommend.
Thank you so much Monica! I’m glad you enjoyed getting to know more than just Montevideo ‐ Piriápolis, Punta del Este, and the coastline always make for a beautiful day out. I really appreciate the recommendation and would love to welcome you back to Uruguay anytime!
We were a group of 12 (including 5 kids) visiting Uruguay for the first time, and Andrés made our trip unforgettable! He greeted us at the Buquebus with a warm welcome, shared his deep knowledge of Uruguay, and made us feel at home right away. From Colonia to Montevideo and Punta del Este, every stop was well planned—The drive to Cerro San Antonio with Fito Páez playing in the background, a countryside estate with the Pencil Museum and delicious local honey and cheese, breathtaking Casa Pueblo, beach time, “La Mano” photos, and feeding sea lions at the pier. Andrés handled every detail, from lunch reservations to answering all our questions, always with kindness and professionalism. By the end, he felt more like a friend than a guide. 100% recommended!
Wow, what an amazing review thank you so much Cristian! I had such a great time with you and your beautiful family. From Colonia to Punta del Este, every stop was more fun because of your energy and good vibes. I’ll never forget the drive up to Cerro San Antonio with Fito Páez in the background—it was the perfect soundtrack! I’m so happy you enjoyed the local flavors, Casa Pueblo, the beach, and of course, the sea lions. By the end, it really did feel like spending the day with friends. You’ll always have a place to come back to in Uruguay, and I’d be happy to welcome you anytime. Big hug to all of you! Andrés
Really enjoyed our time with Andres. He was punctual, friendly, informative and gave us all the time we needed. We did a 1 day tour to Punta de Este and a transfer to Colonia out of Montevidello. He always pointed out interesting things along the way. It was just 2 of us but had a very nice, modern, clean van. Would hire him again if we visited.
Thanks a lot for the awesome review I really enjoyed spending those days with you and showing you around. I'm happy to hear you felt comfortable and had a good time—it makes it all worth it. If you ever come back to Uruguay, it’d be great to see you again. Wishing you all the best on your travels! Andrew
We went to Pinte Del Este and the garzon cellar in one day. And the other day we went to the blouse cellar and deicas cellar. It was two excellent days. Andres served us very well organized the visit to the cellars of the second day. Comfortable clean car. I highly recommend
Muito obrigado pelas palavras tao gentis! Foi um prazer acompanhar voces nesses dois dias e ajudar a organizar as visitas as vinícolas. Fico muito feliz que tenham aproveitado cada momento, tanto em Punta del Este como nas bodegas. Saber que se sentiram bem atendidos e confortáveis no trajeto é a melhor recompensa. Espero ve-los novamente no Uruguai para mais experiências inesquecíveis. Um grande abraço Andrés
We love Andres' service, company and tips! We closed the way to Punta Del Este with a beautiful sunset in Casapueblo.
Muito obrigado pelo seu comentário tão gentil! Foi um prazer acompanhar vocês nesse passeio e compartilhar um pouco da nossa cultura e paisagens. Que bom que aproveitaram o pôr do sol em Casapueblo, realmente é um momento mágico! Espero revê-los em breve para novas descobertas pelo Uruguai!
During our recent holiday in Montevideo, my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our private day tour to Punta Del Este, provided by Jaime Gutierrez Castro. Acting as driver, guide, and companion, Jaime’s friendly persona, wit, and knowledgeable insights enhanced the excursion. His flexibility to tailor fit the tour for us made for a wonderful day.
Hi Sharon, thank you for your review! We’re glad you enjoyed your tour to Punta del Este with Blanco Tour and that Jaime made your experience even more special. We take pride in offering personalized tours tailored to each traveler’s interests. We hope to welcome you again for another adventure in Uruguay. Kind Regards l, Andrés Blanco Blanco Tour Uruguay
Montevideo looks abandoned and dirty. Punta del Este is wonderful. Indicate Piriapolis and Atlantis. Who likes free tour indicate.
Ola boa noite Acho vc deixo um depoimento de outro parceiro. Nos, nao visitamos em passeios Atlantida e nao lembro nos atender vcs Alem isso quando vc deixa um depoimento sobre um tour ou passeios vc deveria falar da qualidade du servico e guía si foi bom, atencioso, etc. Nao pra falar mal de uma cidade como Montevideu que nao e tudo assim como vc fala . Nao comparto seu depoimento. Bom año 2025
great 5 days in Montevideo. Andreas was very efficient in all plans and reservations. Colony of Sacramento, Carrasco, Full day in Montevideo and everything else. I strongly indicate.
