Sua excursão começa com o embarque no seu hotel em Buenos Aires. Encontre seu guia e dirija até a estação para pegar uma balsa para a cidade de Colonia. A viagem dura uma hora e você pode admirar as vistas enquanto viaja. Ao chegar à cidade de Colonia, você desfrutará de um passeio guiado de 2 horas pela cidade. Essa cidade pitoresca do Uruguay fica no lado oposto do Rio da Prata. Você visitará o centro histórico e será levado de volta no tempo. Fundada em 1680 pelos portugueses, a cidade é famosa por suas ruas de paralelepípedos e casas coloridas. Hoje, é um Patrimônio Cultural Mundial da UNESCO. Aprenda com seu guia sobre o layout da cidade e como ela difere da maioria das cidades uruguaias. Admire suas ruas e casas, além de pequenos bares e restaurantes. Após o passeio, você terá mais três horas em Colonia para explorar por conta própria. Você pode ir a uma de suas lindas praças e pequenos parques cheios de flores. Você pode almoçar e visitar algumas lojas de arte e artesanato, museus e um grande porto de iates. Depois de um dia agradável em Colonia, você embarcará na balsa de volta a Buenos Aires, onde será levado de volta ao seu hotel.
Começa na Plaza Mayor e continua em uma ladeira até o Río de la Plata. É uma rua estreita com características portuguesas, com calçamento em forma de cunha e sem calçadas. As laterais são inclinadas em direção ao centro para formar um canal de drenagem. As casas, construídas na primeira metade do século XVIII, têm paredes de pedra, telhados de telha e pisos de cerâmica. As portas e janelas são pequenas e feitas de madeira, embora apenas as casas com telhado de duas águas estejam preservadas.
Foi construída no ano de 1745 por ordem do governador português Vasconcellos que na época comandava essas terras. Em suas origens, a Porta era o pórtico de entrada da Colonia, protegida naquela época por um forte exército de grossas muralhas que eram alvo frequente de ataques de piratas, espanhóis e ingleses.
Foi construído em janeiro de 1857. Ele tem dois flashes vermelhos a cada nove segundos. É uma torre circular de alvenaria branca com uma cúpula com listras radiais brancas e vermelhas. Tem uma estrutura única com uma base quadrada e uma torre cilíndrica que alcança a lanterna. Foi construída sobre uma das antigas torres do Convento de São Francisco, cujas ruínas estão aos pés do farol. Sua altura é de 26 metros e tem um alcance luminoso de 7,8 milhas náuticas.
A Basílica tem a característica de altar mais incomum para sua época e até mesmo para os dias de hoje: uma alcova semicircular iluminada por trás que apresenta uma custódia muito grande (receptáculo para exibir a Hóstia Sagrada ou o Santíssimo Sacramento). A alvenaria externa mostra a influência portuguesa de seus construtores.

Helped with all the logistics along with information about the town. I also like the free time it provided to explore.
We had a wonderful time! Ruth! She really knew the history and different architectural styles of Spain Vs. Portugal. She was so kind answering all our questions and her recommendation for lunch was amazing. We appreciated having her show us around. We would not have been able to truly experience Colonia without her. The place is amazing and the history visible to still see! This was a calm trip where you can move around at your own speed. We enjoyed the calming day with so much history to soak in.
We flew into Buenos Aires a day early because we wanted to take the opportunity to visit Uruguay and this tour was how we did it! We knew we’d be a bit jet lagged so doing something easy seemed a good idea and Signature Tours made it easy. Our driver picked us up at 7am and ensued we had our tickets on our phone. He explained what to do in the ferry terminal. We had to queue to get through passport control but it wasn’t too bad (and we were on a public holiday). The Argentine and Uruguayan controls were right next to each other and unlike Argentina, Uruguay does stamp your passport! We had a smooth crossing and bought some hot drinks to have with our takeaway breakfast. At the other side we were met by our delightful guide Alejandra. We learned a lot of interesting stuff about Uruguay and had a good tour of the town. We could see BA in the distance across the River Plate estuary. We then had time to ourselves and chose to eat at the restaurant in the square by the church. It was good. We then walked some more around the town and stopped at a bakery for coffee and cake. Alejandra then took us back to the ferry terminal. We went through passports and got another stamp! At BA we were met by our same driver and we were back in our hotel by 18.30. Some reviews say there’s not a lot to Colonia. Yes, it’s certainly not as exciting as BA and there’s nothing really amazing there. But if you’re looking for an easy relaxing day, visiting and learning about a new country, having a friendly guide and a nice lunch, then this tour is a good way to do it.
Jesus the driver was incredible. Very prompt and professional and great communication. Mayra our guide in Uruguay was outstanding. She gave us some much incredible information. Highly recommend this!
All went as it should, I think it could be a little bit shorter in duration, but overall a good experience
Our visit included early morning pick-up and early evening drop-off, with driver assisting to obtain our boat ticket. Customs and trip over and back was uneventful and our guide was waiting for us in Colonia. Alejandra was enthusiastic about her country and provided a leisurely tour. Very informative and enjoyable.
Beautiful city tour, very friendly your guides, very friendly your people. Lindisima city
I booked this after my Antarctica cruise on my last day in Buenos Aires before heading home the day after. No issues with booking the tours. Signature sent me a message on what's app when they would pick me up and the van was there on time and took the 5 of us to the Ferry. Some notes about the ferry. The line to get on is long and takes a while. You have to go thru both Uruguayan and Argentine customs going over and coming back. It took45 minutes or so each time, maybe a little shorter in the morning since the ferry wasn't as full and longer in the afternoon. We did go on a Saturday during the summer, a lot of the Argentines go over for the day to go to the beach, so that may have affected the line a bit. We had someone drop us off at the ferry, get our tickets and put us in line, at the other side we were supposed to be met by the guide. When we got their no one was there they showed up later as they had been told we were on the ferry after ours. Onto the tour. Once you are on the ferry it is a nice ride across the Rio Plate. The city of Colonia is nice but I would say hour and half is enough time to walk around. There is a lighthouse, a church, city walls and the port to visit along with some other buildings. We got quite a bit of free time. I ate lunch and walked around the town twice and still had time before we headed back to the ferry, I don't shop. The guide in Colonia was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information on Uruguay and the city. It is a nice day just be prepared for the lines at the ferry terminal.
Well organized from end to end. From pick up to return everything was well organized with a knowledgeable guide. Definitely worth the experience if you have a few days in Buenos Aires. The small group experience is well with it.
While the weather was tricky, we had a great time on this quick visit. Our Uruguayan guide Alejandra was the highlight - she was fabulous. The ferry check-in can be a little overwhelming but the guides helped us up until immigration. There was a problem with no driver waiting for us when we returned to Buenos Aires but it was quickly resolved after a WhatsApp msg to the tour service
