"Mirtha was like a book that keeps pleasantly surprising you with each page turned. And you could not wait to see and hear what is on the next page. She is simply amazing. Mirtha is Uruguayan through and through. She loves her Country and Montevideo. To say that I fell in love with the Montevideo is understatement . I love how Mirtha went about it. She adjusted the pace of the tour to match my interests explaining everything and answering my 5,000 questions like a Pro. Mirtha I can't wait to see you again Girl and share Chevito with you again. That Restaurant that Mirtha took us was an experience on its own. Mirtha IS a Super Star in my Book. Gracias Amiga xoxo 💕. "
"Mirtha communicated well with us, was flexible and helpful and gave us the type of tour we were looking for, which was history, culture, and typical local foods."
"Mirtha knows everything you could want to know about Montevideo and she will share it with you in a light fun manner tailor made to your interests. She will leave you with so many ideas for the rest of your visit to the country she loves so much. Book her if you can. You won’t regret it ! "

Fabulous local guide!
"We had a fantastic two hour tour with Mirtha! She met us at our hotel and showed us so many interesting sites and gave us ideas on how to spend the rest of our time in Montevideo - including restaurants, cafes, and key sights. She also gave us recommendations for other areas of the country where we are traveling to. She's continued to answer questions way beyond the tour. She's a fantastic person, great sense of humor. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

"There’s a reason Mirtha consistently gets highest ratings: she’s knowledgeable, personable and flexible. The depth and breadth of her knowledge enables her to tailor your interests to a custom tour on the fly. I signed up expecting a food tour. We got so much more- architecture, museums, culture and delicious food.
Mirtha earned and deserves five stars. Rush to book her tour!"
"I very much enjoyed my 2 hours with Mirtha. She was personable and easy to talk with. She is a wealth of information and I learned a lot about Montevideo's history. We covered a lot of ground and she made numerous recommendations that I am going to try to sneak in during my time here on business. She was even available to me after the tour to ask a few follow-up questions. I would highly recommend booking a tour, and if you have the time, I'm sure a longer tour would be even better!"
