Itinéraire
Bienvenue à Montevideo, la capitale de l'Uruguay ! (Durée : 20 minutes) Nous vous attendrons au point de rendez-vous du port de Montevideo pour commencer la visite de Ciudad Vieja. Notre premier arrêt est la Plaza Constitución, où nous visiterons l'historique cathédrale de Montevideo. Promenez-vous avec nous sur cette charmante place, entourée d'antiquités et de pièces de l'histoire uruguayenne.
Nous reprendrons ensuite le minivan pour un court trajet de 3 minutes jusqu'à la Plaza Independencia. Aux côtés du guide, vous découvrirez des bâtiments emblématiques tels que le palais Salvo, la tour exécutive, la porte de la ville, le théâtre Solís et le palais Estevez.
Nous poursuivrons notre visite en empruntant l’avenue 18 de Julio et l’avenue Libertador jusqu’à atteindre le Palais législatif. Nous nous arrêterons pour prendre des photos et admirer ce magnifique bâtiment néoclassique du début du XXe siècle.
À seulement 500 mètres, nous visiterons le célèbre MAM, un charmant marché et une zone commerciale faisant partie du patrimoine historique de l'Uruguay. Vous pourrez y déguster une cuisine typique uruguayenne, des bières artisanales et des produits locaux comme des vêtements en cuir et en cachemire.
Poursuivons notre visite de la ville en nous dirigeant vers le quartier de Battlle Park, connu pour ses ambassades au milieu de vastes jardins luxuriants. Nous y visiterons le Monumento a La Carreta, un impressionnant monument en bronze représentant une calèche.
Non loin de là, nous visiterons l'historique Estadio Centenario, un monument du football mondial où s'est déroulée la première Coupe du Monde de la FIFA en 1930. C'est un incontournable pour les fans de football de prendre des photos à l'entrée de la loge officielle, à côté du panneau commémorant cet événement sportif emblématique.
En seulement 10 minutes, nous arriverons au pittoresque quartier de Pocitos, l’un des plus beaux quartiers de Montevideo. Prenez des photos mémorables avec le célèbre panneau Montevideo, avec en toile de fond la Rambla et la magnifique plage au bord du Rio.
Nous poursuivrons notre route sur 16 km le long de la Rambla, en passant par Pocitos, Punta Carretas et Parque Rodó. Le guide vous indiquera Parlasur (siège du Mercosur), l'ambassade des États-Unis et d'autres monuments et bâtiments remarquables.
Enfin, nous retournerons au port de Montevideo. Pour ceux qui souhaitent continuer à explorer, vous pouvez choisir de terminer à seulement 50 mètres de notre point de rendez-vous, où vous trouverez le Mercado del Puerto. Vous pourrez déguster un barbecue traditionnel uruguayen dans ce lieu gastronomique et historique agréable.

Avis(10)
Our guide was very knowledgeable. Great shopping and lots of history. Beautiful city, and very clean.
A great way to see the attractions of Montevideo in a short space of time, with plenty of opportunities to take photos. Our hearts sank when our guide immediately apologised for his lack of English, but we managed. He was very friendly and helpful (stopping the car wherever and for as long as we wanted) and the car was comfortable and clean.
Well worth it! If you can, ask for Fernando. Knowledgeable, friendly, and considerate of your time and needs.
Our guide Martin was fantastic. Very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun to be with. We’ve been to Montevideo before, but he showed us so much of the city that we didn’t know. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour.
Raul did an absolutely amazing job, if we could’ve given him 10 stars we definitely would have. Montevideo was absolutely beautiful and we were able to see so many sites. We were picked up at the port and our private tour was totally customized to meet all of our accessibility needs. Two of us travel with portable oxygen and we use one scooter and one walker. Raul made e everything as easy as possible and we were able to see and do many more things than we had thought possible. The communication with the tour group was spot on and getting Raul as our guide was the icing on the cake! In addition to the many sites that we saw we were able to enjoy a massive Chivito sandwich for lunch and then enjoyed a sweet treat, Alfajorcito, courtesy of Raul for dessert. Raul told us many stories, shared the history of what we were seeing, and we found ourselves laughing and enjoying ourselves all day long. We could not have asked for a better day in port.
Spectacular tour…highly recommend! Our guide (Raul) was so knowledgeable and friendly. He was patient to answer our questions and never tired of taking pictures of us in front of key locations. It’s a great way to see the city in 3-4 hours…and leave free time after the tour and before you get back on your ship. The retail area near the port is packed with food and shopping experiences.
Very well organized. Tour was very knowledgeable and informative and made the day enjoyable. Would definitely recommend if you’re travelling with a group.

We hope to welcome you back to explore more of South America with us! Yellow Penguin Team 🐧💛
We had a great time. We took the morning tour. Steven, our guide was very easy to find among all the hustle and bustle of the cruise port. Our group consisted of us and 5 other couples. The coach was very comfortable and clean. Steven pointed out all the highlights and told us the history behind all the significant monuments. Before heading to the Mercado, he gave us all this amazingly delicious chocolate that is a specialty of Uruguay. We ended up buying a package that they sold in the Mercado. Highly recommend. We had time to explore on our own at that time. He got us back to the cruise port by 12:45pm. Steven, thank you so much for the fun and informative tour. From your Canadian friends :)
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear that you had a great time on our morning tour and that Steven made the experience both fun and informative. It’s great to know that finding Steven at the busy cruise port was easy—we always make sure our guides are highly visible to ensure a smooth start! We’re also glad you enjoyed the comfortable coach, the historical insights, and of course, the delicious Uruguayan chocolate! 🍫 (It’s hard to resist, right? 😄). We truly appreciate your recommendation and are happy you had some time to explore the Mercado on your own before heading back to the ship right on time. Steven sends his best regards to his Canadian friends! 🍁🇺🇾 Hope to see you again on another adventure! 🚢🐧
Carolina was a wonderful guide! She made the tour magical. She showed us the highlights of the old town, (we even watched a tango performance), downtown, as well as the Mercado Agrícola de Montevideo, General Assembly of Uruguay, the Artigas Mausoleum, and so much more. Our van was comfortable and clean, not mention stocked with bottles of water and small alfajores (for a sweet treat). We had so much fun. I highly recommend yellow Penguin!
