Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Buquebus, Av. Antártida Argentina 821, C1104 CABA, Argentina

Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Theatre Solis, Calle Reconquista Corner of Bartolome Mitre, Montevideo 11000 Uruguay
Disembark the ferry and start your 1.5-hour sightseeing tour around the city. Truly a cultural capital in South America, this vibrant port city is home to many first-class singers and musicians. Visit famous landmarks in both the old and new city sectors, and stop at one of the main theaters -- the Solis Theater. Recently restored, this was one of the first theaters in South America and is a must-see when visiting Montevideo.

Walk through the beautiful streets, take time to browse the local shops, and discover the old part of the town, where you'll find cultural centers and museums that feature paintings and photography throughout the ages. Street festivals are very common in Montevideo, so don't be surprised if you stumble upon a Candombe or Carnival show. While the Carnival shows only operate in February, the famous Candombe takes place all year round.

The tour operator never showed up On our arrival into Montevideo. And no one at buquebus seemed to know anything about The Viator city tour. We had no way of contacting anyone to help in Montevideo. So I would definitely not recommend this tour.
programm referred free time to explore the city but we were driven to a shopping center and had no time to visit more places. Information should refer: arrive with some time to the BuqueBus terminal because you need to check-in and cross Argentina's and Uruguay's borders
very good tour
This tour was big disappointment. Not worth taking - better buy round trip ticket at ferry place for USD 100, and hoop on/off bus tour locally for USD 15. You get pretty much same thing with this trip. No tour guide, no tour in English. Beware that trip is really 17 hours long, from 5:30 am t 10:30 pm advertised as 10.5 hrs long. First bad experience ever with Viator.
Excellent, educational and enjoyed especially from one that comes from the South Pacific.
The actual tour of the city was excellent, however the transport to and from was pretty disappointing No directions or person to direct Arrived in Montevideo and once again no direction or person to direct Arrived back in Buenes Aires and was left stranded at Port as no transport back to hotel
Your pretty much on your own with this one. Theres no tour guide. I never received any help at all. I enjoyed seeing Montivideo, but it would have been better to just go to the Buquebus website and buy your own ticket. Its cheaper.
our trip was very enjoyable and went well. pick up and drop off were on time, would not recommend to any one, to much in one day. from start to finish, a 16hr. day.
