Short Tours in Uruguay

Mirtha was so smart. She shared her love for Uruguayan history in wonderful detail. She approached that history from multiple angles, including geography, early Uruguayan history, European influence, anthropology, psychology, art, music, culture, and more. We were curious about today’s geopolitics in the region, and in South America as a whole. She shared information on that too. There were no questions she couldn’t answer. On a personal level, Mirtha was super pleasant and helpful. We came in not knowing much, and we leave knowing a whole lot. She was excellent.

Mirtha was fantastic! I reached out to Mirtha on relatively short notice and asked if she could customize our tour of the city to highlight the history and culture of the Afrouruguayan population here. She went above and beyond! She arranged for a local with expertise in Afrouruguayan history to join our tour and provide unique insights firsthand. She also arranged for us a private visit to a cultural center, where we were able to hear directly from a descendant of prominent Afrouruguayan community leaders. She made sure that we understood what we were hearing, offering Spanish interpretation when needed. The whole experience was so beautiful and enriching for us. Halfway through the tour, my colleague who was with me said to me, "I'm having the time of my life!" Mirtha provided a ton of personalized recommendations for us to explore while we are in Uruguay, and was gracious enough to take photos for us, which she sent to us immediately after the tour. This tour has been the absolute highlight of my time in Uruguay. If you want to get to know Montevideo, she is the person to guide you.
