Great tour, I learned quite a bit about Punta Del Este and felt like we had enough time at each stop to explore. We originally booked an English tour and didn’t realize that it had been changed at the last minute, the tour drivers were sympathetic to our issue and went out of their way to get us on a tour with an English speaking guide. I highly recommend this tour - our guide was knowledgeable and entertaining and clearly enjoys his job.

The guides were great but This tour is not in English. The majority was in Portuguese, a bit of Spanish…, luckily a person in our party spoke enough Spanish to be able to translate. At the stops the guide would give some info in English, I think they just forgot to conduct the driving tour in both languages. If you need a tour in English, would not recommend.
