Small-group day trip from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento. Ferry, guided Old Town, and free time for lunch and shopping.
“Great guide, extremely informative. I will remember her for years to come. I liked this option to arrive in Colônia alone and then meet the guide as it’s cheaper than meeting the guide in Buenos Aires. However the port is chaotic.”
Express ferry from Buenos Aires to Colonia, a guided UNESCO Old Town walk, and hotel-to-port transfers so your Uruguay day runs smoothly.
“We had a wonderful time on our trip. The company was so professional in making arrangements for the hotel pick up, ferry ride, registering us for the walking tour, and picking us back up as soon as the ferry arrived back into Argentina. I would definitely recommend their services. It made the whole process very easy and the staff and communications at the ferry itself were very helpful if you were even the tiniest bit confused. We are very grateful it was such a beautiful day and a smooth experience”

“Excellent tour. Well worth the money. Pick up from the hotel - comfortable, roomy car with water, snack and map provided. Air conditioning. Excellent guide. We were the only people on the tour which was really good. Day was planned well. Guide was so knowledgeable. He spoke very good English and was easy to understand and talk to. Lunch with wine pairings was fantastic and we had plenty of time so it was very relaxed.”
Ferry to Uruguay for a guided Colonia del Sacramento day trip with a two-language walking tour and an included lunch at Mesón de la Plaza.
“Great experience. Thoroughly loved it. The Walking Tour (led by guide Nataly) was fantastic and very informative. She went over and above to explain everything in 2 languages. In addition, the lunch at Meson de la Plaza was superb - the 3 of us had the 3 different dishes on offer. They were all excellent and service was exceptional. The transport over to Colonia del Sacramento was efficient and very comfortable. I would thoroughly recommend donig this excellent tour for a day out in Uruguay.”
