Overview

I discovered Colonia del Sacramento with a local guide born in the city. This walking tour of the historic South Quarter is not only a tour, but an authentic experience where history comes to life through real anecdotes and stories that do not appear in the books.

There is a professional guide, offering tours mainly in English, adapting each traveller to enjoy a close and personalised experience. During the tour, you will not only know the history and evolution of the area from its humblest origins to become a World Heritage Site but also its most special corners.

In addition, he loves to help you capture unique memories, so I can take pictures during the tour. He will also recommend restaurants and local places, far from traditional tourists.

More than a tour, it is an experience designed to make you feel accompanied, connected with the history and the real essence of Cologne.
