Must-See Montevideo: History, Architecture & Local Secrets

The meeting point will be at Plaza Independencia, at the kiosk across from the Palacio Salvo. Look for the guide with a burgundy umbrella.

The walking tour starts on time; the maximum wait is 5 minutes, and then the tour begins. The average tip ranges from $10 to $15 per person; please remember that this is the guide’s only source of income.
