Full Day Private Tour of Montevideo
This tour is planned as the welcome or first approach to the city. Montevideo has a lot to offer the visitor, so it is impossible to get to know it in depth in a single day. Here I will show you the entire city and its main attractions, but we will also enter small neighborhoods with their own style and characteristics.
If you are only visiting for a couple of days, when you leave you can be sure that you really enjoyed your time here and got to know all of Montevideo as very few visitors do. On the other hand, if you have more days to enjoy in the city, you will already have an idea of which points you want to return to to get to know them more deeply, dedicating more time to them.
It is really a long drive, and the possibility of doing it all will depend on how early we start and how long we stop at each place.
For my part, I will dedicate the whole day to this Tour, so I do not have an established end time.

(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Plaza Matriz
Here we will begin our tour. From 1726 it was the Plaza Mayor of the Fortress City of San Felipe and Santiago de Montevideo. Since its creation, this square constituted the civic and social center of the city, first with the construction of the Iglesia Matriz and later with that of the Cabildo (seat of the colonial government), to which were later added large shops, buildings of a social nature and hotels. Here we will walk the pedestrian circuit that will take us to our next destination.
Plaza Independencia
After the demolition of the fortifications of the colonial city, and the independence affirmed, the walled city gave way to an open city. The Plaza constitutes the link that unites the Old City with the New City. It also marks the beginning of the country's main avenue, 18 de Julio. Around it are some of the most outstanding buildings in the city, such as the Solís Theater, the Salvo Palace, the Puerta de la Citadel, the Estévez Palace and the Executive Tower of the national government. The monument to the hero José Gervasio Artigas rises above the center of the square. Below it descend some stairs that lead to the mausoleum where his remains rest.
Plaza Zabala
Its origin dates from the demolition of the colonial Casa del Gobernador at the end of the 19th century, seeking to generate green spaces as urban lungs. It has its own urban characteristics such as being a block turned with respect to the classic checkerboard of the colonial city, it is also the only Montevidean square that preserves its gate -in the French and English style-, although it is no longer the original one, and it is the only square that the traffic around you is in a clockwise direction. Its implementation was based on a "Belle Epoque" spirit, which aspired to resemble Montevideo to Paris, in 1889, the project was commissioned to the French landscaper André. The design, picturesque in nature, consists of an undulating walkway bordering large grass beds with flower beds and various species of trees. The Gothic-style equipment, with lanterns, a drinking fountain and the octagonal gate with small gates, contributes to its special character.
