Hi there! We are the first Free Walking Tour of Uruguay and we want to invite you to be part of our fun and informative tour of Montevideo. We are a local company who are in love with the city and we want to show you the best in the best way, walking! Our main tour is a walk of approximately 2.30 hours, through the Old City of the capital. There you will know the most important details of our history, culture and society.

Take a self-guided GPS audio walk with Alberto Rodriguez, a historian from New York who'll tell the story of Montevideo's Old City. He'll uncover its most colourful decades, from the 1870s through to the roaring 1920s, when there was rapid development here, led by a diverse group of industrialists. Behind today's facades, you'll find bawdy entertainment, exciting sports and a cast of fascinating characters.

This is a personalized visit to Montevideo's highlights, down town and suburbs, and it has all the ingredients to provide the traveller with a very good idea of what this friendly city has to offer. The tours are tailored to the preference of the visitor whenever required, and usually include a few stops in places of personal interest to the visitor or curious settings which happen to be along the way. We have stopped for cakes and coffee, ice cream, lunch, souvenir shopping and local markets. I will show you the place the same way I would show a friend of mine. Welcome to Montevideo.

I think that I am able to provide a lively historical review of the Old City. Many who come to Uruguay, arrive via Cruise liners and I believe that throughout the 2 and half hours that I show them around, that they have fallen a little in love with the city. The Old City has a lot of history waiting to be uncovered, as a guide I am there to reveal that while we walk around, we are also walking around with the past.
