Montevideo for Cruise Passengers – Personalized Small Group Tour

Service Description

Discover Montevideo during your cruise stop with Blanco Tour Uruguay. This shared small-group tour is specially designed for cruise passengers who want to see the city’s main highlights comfortably, safely and make the most of their time ashore. After leaving your cruise ship, simply walk toward the exit of the pier, where our coordinator and guide will be waiting for you with a Blanco Tour Uruguay sign. From there, we’ll start our tour of Montevideo. During approximately 4 to 4.5 hours, we’ll visit some of the city’s most representative landmarks, combining history, culture, architecture and the beautiful scenery along the Rambla. The tour includes: • Ciudad Vieja, Montevideo’s historic district. • Plaza Matriz and the Metropolitan Cathedral. • Plaza Independencia, the Mausoleum of José Artigas and the iconic Palacio Salvo. • A drive along 18 de Julio Avenue, the city’s main avenue. • Panoramic Viewpoint, offering great views of Montevideo. • Legislative Palace, one of Uruguay’s most important and impressive landmarks. • Montevideo Agricultural Market (MAM), with free time to explore, take photos or discover local products. • Batlle Park and the historic Centenario Stadium. • Pocitos and its beaches. • The traditional Montevideo Rambla, along the Río de la Plata. • The famous Montevideo sign, one of the favorite stops for photos. The tour is operated in comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles, accompanied by a local guide who will share stories about Uruguay’s history, culture and everyday life. As a small-group shared tour, you’ll have the chance to explore Montevideo with fellow travelers from around the world, while enjoying a more personal and relaxed experience than a large group tour. We carefully plan our tours around cruise ship schedules, so you can enjoy Montevideo and return to the port with plenty of time before your ship departs. Blanco Tour Uruguay has been welcoming cruise passengers since 2012. Welcome to Uruguay! We look forward to showing you Montevideo.
