“Great Colonia del Sacramento Tour”
We had a wonderful tour in Colonia del Sacramento. Adrian gave us all the information needed and more. We learned a lot of the history but also things about the normal life of an Uruguayan. We had a mate-ceremony and went fishing. We can fully recommend this great tour. Thank you for a great experience.
