Excursion à Punta del Este: Excursion privée à Punta del Este

We had a very nice experience on this tour. Saw many sights within the city and also had time for the art and Casapueblo museums. The driver and guide did a nice job getting around and explaining the city. We were really impressed with all of the high end housing and amenities along the waterfront. This was a good tour for people on a cruise ship with limited time ashore.

Driving tour through neighborhoods was uninteresting. This is a beach area like Miami Beach. Nothing really historical to see. This tour was a driving tour and we saw the area, including the beaches. Seems a little pricey for a driving tour. The only thing of interest was the artist hotel/museum by a cliff. Interesting art and great views. Very crowded though, casa pueblo taller carlos paez vilaro. If I had to do it over again, I'd just hire a driver/taxi to take us to beach views and this hotel/museum.

We saw all of the important landmarks outlined in the travel brochures. The beach community here is quite beautiful. Our tour guide Franco did an excellent job as did our driver Danielle.

The tour was rich in history and local folklore. Our tour included an interpreter that spoke amazing English. All the main sights were included and we got to go at our own pace.

The guide was 15 mins late, spoke very poor English , wanted to know what we wanted to see. She was unaware there was an itinerary. Very unhappy with this tour.

Wonderful guide, excellent driver. We had a wonderful beautiful tour of Punta del Este!! What a beautiful peninsula !’ Thank you, Viator.

Pablo is a local and very knowledgeable about the area. He took us to a Ralli museum that was a phenomenal experience and customized the trip after that to match the group’s interest.

We met our driver/guide Nestor and Sophia, his translator, at the jetty. It was rather surprising that a guide in Punta del Este does not speak English and needs a translator. Sophia, only 17 years old, said that they were a team. Her English was ok but not more. Since I understand Spanish I noted that her translations were not always accurate. The car was nice and clean. They drove us around to various beaches and we did a lot of house watchin. They told us the name of the places and streets. However, we soon realized that the driver was not really knowledgeable. We had to ask for information and sometimes they could not answers e.g. number of people living in Punta del este (I googled it), or which kind of art is exhibited in the Ralli Museum (contemporary Latinoamerican Art, I googled it also). Nestor did not tell us anything about the history of the place or other interesing facts about the region. We think that he think it is sufficent to be native of punta del Este to be a guide. Both never left the car, they just dropped us to take photos. Finally we went to Casa del pueblo. No information about the place, they dropped us and away the were. Even at the end of the tour they did not leave the car to say goodbye. Not professional at all. And 450 $ is just over the limit for such a private Tour - it is definitely not worth the money!

Adriana, our guide, patiently waited for our late arrival with good communication. Car was clean and of adequate size for our party of 4. Adriana and Anna, our driver, were very warm, friendly, and proud of their city. The itinerary was complete and they were receptive to our preferences. However, Adriana’s English was very limited and her lack of historical and informative details was lacking. The city is gorgeous and well worth a look.

Our dedicated tour guide met us at the peer. Our guide was very informative about the history of Punta del Este. She wanted to ensure that we had time at each location, she even stopped at a convenience store for us to pick up some snacks. Our group of 9 enjoyed the day and all the sights.
