We traveled with Oceania cruise line to Montevideo which was our second stop after Buenos Aires. Bruno picked us up in a van with a driver, rather than a car, which allowed for plenty of room and comfort for our two hour ride to Colonia Del Sacramento. On the way he told much about the history of the country and... More

Two of us participated in a private 3 hour walking city tour of Montevideo in March 2012. Bruno, our local guide was excellent. He was very well informed about the history and architecture of the city. We were very pleased with our tour and felt we received excellent value for the cost. Highly recommend the services of Cultura Cercana, Uruguay. More

We hired Bruno for our pickup from the airport which was great! We liked him right away. We kind of felt like we could hang out with him since we were the same age. I hired him based on the tour companies history in buenos aires and his limited reviews. He dropped us at the hotel and we checked in... More

To be truthful, my wife and I didn't know too much about Montevideo prior to arriving. However, now that is very different thanks to our very knowledgable tour guide Paula. We had a very enjoyable day touring all around this beautiful city. Paula had a great itinerary for the day, including a delicious lunch at a great location(her suggestion) and... More

Bruno met us at the port. Toured the downtown area before it got too busy. Most informative on history, current affairs, health & education systems. More importantly his love of Uruguay. Travelled to other suburban areas ie. Beaches, shared his mate with us & yes, we too got to see the car museum. An incredible experience thanks to Bruno Paul... More

While visiting Buenos Aires, my daughter and I decided to spend a day in Colonia. We had been so impressed with our Cultura Cercana tour there with Pablo, that we decided to sign up for a private tour in Colonia. Bruno was an amazing tour guide. He was waiting at the Buquebus terminal with our name on a sign (have... More

We were in Montevideo on a Sunday, so much of the city was closed, but we had a wonderful day with Bruno. He changed courses a couple of times---first, when I wanted to tour Teatro Solis and again when my husband mentioned his old car obsession......Bruno took us to a car museum run by the Uruguayan equivalent of AAA........I wouldn't...

We arrived in Montevideo in late November for a couple days during a longer stay in Buenos Aires. We hadn't planned much and were looking for a tour at the last minute. Fortunately we ran across Cultura Cercana on the internet and sent an email. Bruno got back right away and we planned a full day trip for the next... More
