New Year’s Day Tour

We arrived on a cruise on New Year’s Day. Many stores were closed so taking the tour to Punta del Este seemed like the best option. However, it is 2 hours each way leaving not much time in the middle for exploration. Tour guide was very inexperienced and didn’t provide much information or guidance. We even picked up a random person on the way back to the ship which is really odd for us Americans but seems to be pretty common practice with the locals. Overall only take this tour if you don’t have anything else better to do on a holiday.
