Summary: You cannot go wrong spending a day with Ryan. He took our group of five to the Narbono winery for lunch, and a tour of Punte del Este. Besides being a great guide and entertaining, the lunch and wine were fabulous. We were here on a cruise about six years ago and did a tour with him, which is why we wanted a repeat. He did not fail us!!! Thank you so much, Ryan for another unforgettable day!

Summary: We had the most amazing time with Ryan on this trip. There were 14 of us from an Atlas cruise and everyone said it was their favorite day tour! Ryan picked us up in a very comfortable roomy van. We arrived at the winery before it opened and we had 4 different wines and an amazing meal. Lots of history of the area and Ryan knows his wine!! 🍷 most bought multiple bottles for the rest of our trip and we were dropped off right at the tender boat back to the ship!! I can’t recommend this trip enough to anyone interested in Uruguay’s premier vineyard!!
