Will be traveling from Montevideo to Buenos Aires on Saturday, and noticed that there is only one Buquebus direct. However it departs very late for us. The other option is a Bus to Colonia and then ferry. There will be 2 adults and a child traveling. Few questions regarding this option:
1. If I will buy Primera tickets, do I get any better sitting on the bus or the bus seats are all the same.
2. Does bus make any stops on the way to Colonia?
3. Upon arrival to Colonia, is there any time to go and see the city? (if combo ticket purchased at Buquebus.com)
2. Is it worth having Primera ticket on Colonia to Buenos Aires? Do you get assigned sitting or first come first serve?
Another option is to fly. However, being US Citizen, if I will arrive to AEP, do I still have to pay a reciprocal visa fee of $100 per person? My understanding is if arrive by ferry, that fee is not collected, but what about by air from Uruguay?
