Great tour of all the major sights in the area

David_M, Feb 2023
This was a great tour and all of the tour guides were extraordinary. The pickups were always on time. They went out of there way to make my tours great even helping me send postcards at a post office. We visited everything noted in the description and they helped me book two additional tours to make the most of time in Iguazu. I can’t recommend them enough.

What an amazing experience 10/10 - once in a lifetime!! Make sure you do both sides of the falls

The communication was not great for this tour initially. No airport pickup mentioned or when asked they did not respond about it. My tour guide was Nilsa and she is an amazing tour guide and woman in general. I was lucky to get her for the Argentine side, Brazilian side and the city tour. She really cares about your enjoyment and goes the extra mile to ensure you have the best time. Day one was amazing - tour to the Argentinian side of the falls - make sure you pack your passport and vaccination card and wear a comfortable pair of shoes as there’s a lot of walking- you get a little wet but not too much. Day two, I thought would be a tour to the Dam via mini bus or car but was actually a bus tour that I had to pay for - if it’s windy ensure you pack a scarf and wear long sleeves as the bus gets cold. The windows are ‘closed’ via a thick plastic covering but it’s still slightly open. It is a hop on/ hop off bus where they let you get off for a few minutes at a time to take pics then you get back on. Day 3 we went to the Brazilian side of the falls and this was stunnnnnning I also did the boat and helicopter rides that I’d 100000% recommend as both show different views. Make sure you wear sandals and clothes you don’t mind getting soaked. Day 4 was the city tour which was really good as Nilsa showed me different areas in the city. I’d def recommend this to everyone and anyone - you HAVEEE TO see both sides of the falls and I’d recommend on different days as it does get tiring. The city tour and dam tour can be done in one day tbh. All in all an amazing tour and cost effective. They also dropped me at the airport which was great.
