“Really get to know the resort community of Punta del Este”

We had a marvelous tour thanks to Germán. It was comprehensive and covered a lot of ground, ending ideally at the circus of sea lions dining on fish scraps at the port. He has an obvious love for his occupation, and his command of history is impressive. Just as good was learning how Uruguay is different in Latin America, and how folks live day to day.

Punta Del Este Walking Tour with German ???????????? Upon arrival i was welcomed by German. I had a private tour because there was only me ???? German was motivated also to do the tour gor 1 person , a friendly atmosphere so we had a good start in the heat ???? German and tour was good, very flexible (appreciate this!) and for that he deserves a special thanks. German is such a highly motivated/knowledge guide -(recommendable!) I truly enjoyed our walk. The scenery was beautiful -also quiet and peaceful Thanks German… a true sample of excellent tour guide! Gwen

“Highly recommended!”

This free tour is perfect for exploring the Punta del Este peninsula. Our guide, Germán, was very attentive at all times. He messaged me beforehand to confirm our attendance and answer any questions. There were only four of us on the tour, yet he still carried out the full itinerary, taking the time to answer our questions and share the history of every corner of the city. Thank you so much, Germán—we had a 5-star tour!

German was amazing! Excellent English, superb knowledge, and very accommodating. I was a solo traveler and the only one who signed up for his tour that day, so he was very willing to change up the pace, the method, the times, everything. He was great! And Punta del Este is a fabulous city!

“Highly Recommend”

It was my first experience with FreeTour, I invited some travel colleagues to join us and it was super useful. We didn't have much free time outside of our conference and the tour with Germán was a great opportunity to visit several of the city's tourist attractions, along with rich historical information and tips that we wouldn't otherwise know. We had a lot of fun along the way! We were able to mix English, "Portunhol" and Spanish to communicate. It's a free tour based on tips, it's definitely worth the recognition for the work done.

Es lo primero que debes hacer al llegar a Punta del Este. Es un recorrido muy bien planeado, mientras conoces la ciudad vas coleccionando muchos datos que hacen memorable cada rincón. Además, se nota que Germán conoce muy bien la historia, y siempre está dispuesto a resolver cualquier duda que vaya surgiendo.

“Excellent snapshot of Punta del Este”

German is the whole package; on time, well spoken, informative about how Punta del Este was ‘born’ with several interesting stops that we would have missed entirely!! Some fun stories (especially about soccer????), tips related to national dishes, beverages, restaurants, tours etc. So much accomplished in 2.5 hrs and he even shares a ‘recap’ message in the end. You will just have to take the tour to get all the highlights!! He is a credit to the tourism industry.

Very interesting tour. Our guide spoke English that was very easy to understand for a European. He told us many things about the history, society today, their fighting spirit in soccer and much more. The weather was perfect! So happy we made this tour. It was very good that the tour ended in the port next to our tender boats.
