"We had a really nice 2 hours with Mirtha. Picked us up at our hotel and took us on a tour. Her knowledge of the city and it's history, challenges and achievements was exceedingly good. We would recommend her without hesitation."

Excellent crash course on Montevideo!
"Our family of four (2 adults, 2 kids - ages 10 & 12) had a great tour with Mirtha! We unfortunately only had one day in Montevideo and were looking for a brief tour to give us an overview of the city and its history, and Mirtha more than delivered! We got a wonderful introduction to Montevideo & Uruguay, and Mirtha was even able to cater our brief tour to our interests: when she heard my daughter played piano, we took a quick detour in to one of the museums to see the gorgeous pianos inside. We also got a great recommendation for where to eat lunch in the market and sites to see on our own in the afternoon."

Simply the best
"A wealth of information! We covered it all yet only scratched the surface. Mirtha had so much to offer from our post tour to do list, to food choices, to history lessons, to in-depth cultural conversation…it went by too fast. My brain and stomach were bursting. Having been on one other walking food tour with a group in another country, I thought I knew what to expect. But it exceeded all expectation. And the laughter! -D
Ready to go again! -R"

Fabulous experience
"There is nothing to compare with having a guide like Mirtha. It was great to be taken to special places in the city and to hear stories of life now and in the past. Mirtha was punctual, knowledgeable and a caring guide. Highly recommended!"
"Lovely guide who showed us the interesting points around Montivideo and told us all about the country of 4 mil people and 10 mil cattle."

Exceeded expectations!
"Mirtha was a friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating tour guide. We visited a number of historic sites and she shared some of the history of Montevideo. The food we tried during our tour was excellent. Mirtha tailored the food items to accommodate our daughter’s vegetarian diet. Our tour with Mirtha added a lot to our visit to Montevideo. We highly recommend this tour with Mirtha!"
