“I highly recommend using Elias for a guide in Montevideo, Uruguay. He was prompt and very knowledgeable about the City and surrounding areas. The purpose of our trip was to gain information about real estate in Uruguay with the intention of possibly purchasing a property. Elias picked us up at our airb&b in his private car, and then drove us around the greater Montevideo area including both higher priced and less desirable areas. He gave us exactly the experience we were looking for, and was willing to adjust the trip to accommodate our desires and needs. I appreciated that he was attentive to my needs as I am slightly handicapped due to a stroke. We stopped at a delightful coffee shop, which he knew about, for a sweet refreshment. Elias was a wealth of information about the history of different neighborhoods and real estate in Montevideo, and he pointed out historical sites we might visit on our own later. His command of English was impeccable. After our day-long excursion we went to dinner at Montevideo Al Sur, a restaurant near where we were staying. I recommend that Elias be used as a tour guide. He exceeded all our expectations.” – Chas Dean & Douglas Rupp. USA
“Elias is very friendly, well educated and his mind is like a guidebook, we had a great day, he made Montevideo special for me, I wish we could have stayed longer there.” – Josh, Dubai
