If you are looking for a day trip out of Buenos Aires and want to learn about Uruguay, this is a good trip. The best part of it was the guide, Alejandra. She taught us a lot about Colonia and also Uruguayan history and culture. We liked the business class ferry ticket, and the driver Jesus was nice. One thing to mention is that we went in the mid-week on the low season (a Wednesday in June), and several businesses were closed. One of the shop owners told me that some people take off mid- week because they work weekends. You also need Uruguayan currency for the museum; there is a bank in the town. There are public bathrooms near the entrance to the town. Overall, I enjoyed this and was glad I did it, primarily because Alejandra taught us so much and was such a great ambassador for Uruguay.
