Amazing experience!
An amazing experience from start to finish! Flew into Iguazu for the day from Buenos Aires. They helped arrange transportation to and from the airport for me for an additional fee, totally worth it for convenience! Nicolas was my tour guide! He was very professional and informative! Did a great job of providing an amazing experience of experiencing the falls from both Brazil and Argentina, while personalizing the tour to my preferences, providing lots of great information about the falls, wildlife and vegetation! They made traveling to both sides of the falls a breeze! Overall an amazing day! Highly recommend this tour company!

Iguçau with Falls Vision Receptivo
Both, the Argentinian and the Brasilian Tour was awesome. The tour agency organized very well the temporary closure of one side due to high water. Both guides Fabio and Cris, very informative, friendly, attentive, giving usw a good feeling. I can recommend this very much.

We booked a private tour...
We booked a private tour for a day trip from Buenos Aires to see both sides of the falls.
We arrived a little late due to a weather delay.
Perro, a very friendly and humorous local, greeted us as we exited the terminal and promptly brought us to the Brazilian side to meet Rodrigo who would be our personal guide for the rest of the tour. Rodrigo was very knowledgeable about all the local wildlife, culture and history of the Iguazu region and delighted us with his ability to communicate with us in English, German and Spanish. We were very impressed with his detailed explanations of the fauna and his ability to answer all our questions. It was very convenient for us to leave our belongings in his SUV as he brought us to all the viewing areas and was able to get us to the front of lines due his private tour credentials. He also brought us to a beautiful local restaurant where we enjoyed a wonderful lunch. After an incredible time on the Brazil side we were ready to see the Argentina side of the falls. Unfortunately due to very high water conditions the elevated walk ways to the Devils Throat area were closed limiting the viewable parts of the falls from the Argentina side.
We also drove through a very interesting community where the where the indigenous people live. A final stop at the juncture of the three countries of the Iguazu Falls was a nice finishing touch and photo opportunity for this tour.
I would like to advise those that are planning a day trip from Buenos Aires that it is important to arrive in Puerto Iguazu on schedule if you want to see both sides.

Excellent Tour, Super Recommended & Very Accommodating
Super grateful to Neiva and Floripa by Bus tours for this trip. Had no read all the information properly, leading to not being picked up, however alternate arrangements where made to have me connect with the trip and experience what was left of the tour. The experience itself was excellent, despite the weather on the day and met plenty of new people. .

Jersey Girls trip 2027
Our Iguassa Falls tour with Iguassu Life (Nilsa) was amazing! The tour begin on the Brazil side of the falls. Nilsa was great, very informative, knowledgeable and flexible. We saw the falls at a relaxed pace and got to enjoy the experience comfortably.
She took us to a very nice buffet lunch than onto the Argentina side. The afternoon was great. The falls are breathtaking and Nilsa is a fantastic guide. I'm gonna recommend the tour and Iguassu Life to all my family and friends traveling to Iguacu Falls Brazil.

What a wonderful trip!
A truly worthwhile day trip—highly recommended! You won’t miss any of the most beautiful sights or the exciting activities at Iguazu Falls. The itinerary is very well planned, and experiencing both the Argentinean and Brazilian sides of Iguazu Falls made the whole trip absolutely perfect!

Marvelous day in Marvelous Rio
Excellent day in Rio. Our guide Vitor, met us on time at our hotel in his comfortable van, including water and light snack, and suggested the perfect itinerary for our day. We are six adults, two from US and four from Argentina. None of us speaks Portuguese, but that was no problem as Vitor switched between English and Spanish easily.
Our first stop was Sugar Loaf mountain and the beautiful views from the top. Vitor gave us the history of the sight and pointed out buildings and neighborhoods. He also explained about the flora and fauna we saw.
Next we did a brief stop at Maracana Stadium, and again Vitor pointed out significant sights and gave their history along the route. He also gave the history of Brazil and Rio. We went past the sight for carnival parade and Vitor explained its history and perfectly described the floats and parade.
We then went to Tijuca forest. We stoped at many vistas throughout the park, each more beautiful than the previous. We learned about how the park was created and about the flora and fauna in it.
Last Vitor dropped us off at a bar we selected in Botofogo neighborhood. He provided suggestions for other activities for the rest of our stay in Rio.
We had a marvelous day in the Marvelous City. We highly recommend Gregtur for booking. They were informative and responsive to all our questions and very accommodating to all our specific needs. Vitor was pleasant, informative, and helpful. We would do this again.

Fabio was an extremely knowledgeable and attentive guide. He helped us to appreciate the riches of the Amazon as he shared what is almost literally his back yard. The lunch prepared and served on the floating house was local and delicious. We had an incredible day!

Great tour
We had a great time exploring Rochina with Mateo. We were picked up by Mateo and taken to the favela by Uber to meet the rest of the group. We spent plenty of time walking round exploring with Mateo who was very good at explaining anything you wanted to know about Rochina. He is a local & it was great to hear from his experience.
The only thing I would say, this tour advertises taking you to two favelas but we only explored Rochina - it wasn’t an issue for us as we had a great time anyway, just be aware. Also, there is a lot of walking up & down stairs that are quite steep.

Arraial do Cabo is...
Arraial do Cabo is absolutely beautiful, and the water was some of the most stunning I’ve ever seen. The boat tour was a great experience, and the scenery alone made the trip worthwhile.
A special shoutout to Cristiane for being an awesome guide and handling everything with grace and professionalism throughout the day.
A couple things future travelers should know: this is a very long day, including approximately 6 hours of round-trip driving from Rio. Also, if you’re the type of traveler who prefers spending several hours relaxing at a single beach location, this may not be the best fit since the itinerary keeps moving.
The restaurant stop was good, the facilities were clean, and I had no issues with the bathrooms or overall organization of the tour.
Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend it to anyone wanting to see one of the most beautiful coastal areas near Rio.

Great Day Trip
This is a nice little boat getaway to escape the hustle and bustle of Rio for a day. The bus picked us up right in front of our hotel and it was about a 2 1/2 hour bus ride to the boat location. The bus was very comfortable and allowed you to rest. On the way there, we were able choose optional activities (for a fee). I chose to jet ski and have my picture taken with the fishes. The prices were very reasonable. The actual boat was 3 decks and spacious enough to fit around 40 people comfortably. There was good music playing and a fully stocked bar to purchase drinks. There were 4 different spots where we were able to do the activities and swim in the ocean if we wanted. Stop 3 is where we were served lunch. It was buffet style with a decent selection of options. We did have to pay for drinks and dessert if you wanted them. After the last stop, we were able to catch a beautiful sunset over the ocean. We were dropped off at our hotel around 8pm. The experience was definitely worth the money.
