Only saw Punta del Este
Overall I recommend our experience. The morning of the tour we were told we weren’t going to Jose Ignacio randomly out of the blue even though this tour advertises that we would. We were on a cruise however we arrived on time as scheduled if not ten minutes early. So there was literally no legitimate reason we didn’t go there. I found this pretty disappointing.
