Insider travel resources

This book rocks!!

This book is a real treasure. I love that it is filled with smart tips about visiting this amazing country in a way that encourages you to appreciate all it has to offer.

We're not normally guidebook people, but we only had a short time to spend in Uruguay so I picked up this book. We found so many interesting places that we wouldn't have found otherwise. Led to some of our best memories of the trip!

One of the best guidebooks I've ever read.

The Guru'Guay guide MADE my trip to Montevideo.

Written for travelers who enjoy exploring on their own.

Written from the heart and an expat's perspective and knowledge of an adopted home.

Not a dry, automated guidebook. Well laid out, local insights, well written with charm and humor.

We used the guide to plan our trip to Montevideo and it was incredibly helpful. We packed a lot into our visit and felt like we accomplished all our travel goals. Karen has a network of colleagues and resources that comes from living in the city.

What I personally loved was that she included things that travelers might want to ask a friend, but not a "travel guide". I was even inspired to sign up for a couple tango lessons in preparation for my trip!

It reads as though you are reading a letter from a good friend who's telling you about the best-kept secrets in Montevideo.

The Guru'Guay guide is a winner. I'm interested in neighborhoods, food, and cultural activities and I learned so much…

I was traveling solo to Montevideo and found both the guidebook (and the author herself) to be so helpful. I visited many of the recommended spots and enjoyed all of them.

I already had the first edition of The Guru'Guay Guide to Montevideo and loved it so much that I purchased the 2nd edition for our upcoming trip to Uruguay.

The small details so often overlooked in other guides are not overlooked here.

If you’re visiting Uruguay then this book is an absolute must. Well done Karen! I’ve never met you but feel I’d like to!

The guide led us to many places we would have missed. If you are planning a trip to Uruguay you HAVE to get this book.

With an eye for the quirky and a deep connection to her subject, Karen offers up an enjoyable and easily accessible introduction to Uruguay.

Uruguay is very easy to maneuver your way through with this very helpful guide.

Excellent book!! It kept us plenty busy as we traveled around the country. We used it to plan our routes and used many restaurant, hotel, and sight seeing recommendations.
