An unforgettable wonder of nature

Gillian_P, May 2024

This was the highlight of my 5 week trip to South America and was beyond my expectations. What an incredible force and wonder of nature. Our guide was amazing, with prompt pick up, very friendly and caring , extremely knowledgeable and went beyond the call of duty. He gave us an unforgettable day. Thank you Viator and Marco.A wonder

Day at the falls

Tracey_F, Apr 2024

We had an amazing experience from start to finish. We were picked up from our hotel in Brazil and driven through passport control with ease. When we got to the falls our guide gave us a fantastic tour, very informative in excellent English, pointing out the best places to take photos and also telling us about the different wildlife we came across and on the way back he went out of his way to take us to Puerto Iguazú where we could see Paraguay and Brazil.

Absolutely great experience

Marcela_P, Mar 2024

Marco was excellent!! He went above and beyond to make the visit memorable. Travel with children is not easy. He was able to make changes during our tour to accommodate my family needs. Would absolutely recommend this tour.

At Iguazu, Daniel made our day!

Lynda_D, Feb 2024

Daniel was perfect. There were potential issues raised to us about our tour activities, less than 12 hours in advance of our tour, that was scheduled 3 months prior. However upon meeting with Daniel he addressed those issues, found work arounds in order to make our day outstanding. It was his care, courtesy and assistance that made it all worthwhile. He represents your company professionally. Dean & Lynda Duffy

Great time

Jameshenry_B, Dec 2023

The trip was great and I higly recommend it ! Marcos was an amazing guide, full of knowledge and extremely friendly and accommodating. We hadn't decided on whether or not to do the boat trip but he had already made a booking for us just in case and it saved us a boat load of time. Also the reception of their company was fast to responde and provided all the information we need to be ready for the trip even though we booked the day before.

Awesome

James_M, Oct 2023

Incredible tour,my guide was absolutely fantastic.He helped make it a memorable day. The falls are just awesome.

Private Tour Optimized our time successfully

Cameron_M, Aug 2023

My wife and I wanted to have a more private experience to see the falls, so we booked a day with Fabio. We were messaged the night before to ensure we had everything we needed, we were picked up on time by Fabio, he skillfully navigated the park, and allowed us to book the optional Grand Adventure tour during the day. We loved the falls, saw many animals, and were thrilled with the boat ride! While Fabio did not volunteer up as much information as other guides, he was able to answer almost every one of our questions, and was very helpful in optimizing our time and energy! Overall a great day!

We stayed on the...

Tony_G, Jul 2023

We stayed on the Brazilian side and booked this tour because it seemed that visiting the Argentinian side, going through border control, etc. would by time consuming .Our guide Fabio was great, punctual, very helpful and knowledgeable and was able to get us there nice and early and save us time on so many things. Also explained a lot. Was a great visit, but if you don't have time for both sides, all in all the Brazilian side is the best for the views.

Great Experience! B-e-a-utiful!

Thanh_T, Jul 2023

Our guide was amazing, super efficient and knowledgeable. Fabiano was a great guide to spend the day with taking us around the falls. Highly recommend!

Nature's Best!

Yilian_F, May 2023

This experience was on my bucket list for a long time and it was everything I had hoped for and more! The company communicated after making the reservation and provided information regarding what to expect. We flew in for the day from Buenos Aires and the guide/driver picked us up at the airport. We arrived before the park opened, purchased the tickets and were able to complete the three circuits, have a wonderful lunch and hike back down by 2:30pm. Our tour guide Fabiano was professional, knowledgeable and had great interpersonal skills. I highly recommend!

Walking and Water Fall Seeing

Scott_B, Apr 2023

Marcos was a great tour guide. He was extremely punctual to pick me up from my hotel and take me to the falls. He was obviously knowledgeable about everything from getting across the board to the history and best way to get around the park. He made sure to point out our great places for photos as well as was very knowledgeable about the local fauna. I had a great experience, plus the Argentina side of the falls is absolutely stunning!

An Amazing Tour

Mark_H, Apr 2023

Jorge is a fabulous guide. We were picked up on time at our hotel on the Brasilian side for our private tour, whisked through customs formalities at the border and had an amazing day touring the Argentine side of the falls. The transfer vehicles were all of good quality. Anyone who sees the Brasilian side of the falls and figures they’ve seen enough is making a huge mistake. You haven’t seen anything! A visit to the Argentine side is an absolute must and you’ll need to set aside 7-8 hours to do it right. Make sure you bring a power pack to ensure your smartphone has enough juice. You’ll take hundreds of pics and as good a view as you see now, they’ll be a better one in 10m. Jorge is an excellent guide with immense knowledge and easily understandable English. He’s been doing this for decades and it shows. It’s rare you’ll find a guide of this quality anywhere….and we travel extensively.

Beautiful tour with an excellent guide!

Ioanna_M, Apr 2023

Fabio was an excellent guide and the tour was great! He picked us up from our hotel and drove us to the argentinian side of the falls. He took care of everything regarding tickets for the park and he also booked the boat tour for us. He walked us through all the trails of the park and he also explained a lot about the history of the park, as he knows all about it! He was very kind and patient and overall this tour with him was a great experience! We totally recommend it!

Guide made the falls a fantastic visit!!

John_m, Mar 2023

Fantastic tour operator and especially fantastic guide. Followed up with details of tour and communicated promptly. Luiz was superb with full knowledge of the parks and was flexible and responsive to what we wanted to see. Would absolutely recommend!

Fantastic day

laborlady45, Mar 2023

This was one of the best tours we have ever taken. Fabiano was a wonderful guide. I am so glad that we took this tour, Iguazu falls was the highlight of our South American trip. The scenery was breathtaking. Fabiano adjusted the tour to meet our needs. We are two older adults and it was very hot out, we told him that we would be able to walk one of the circuits around the park after seeing the devils throat area. He made sure we had some rest stops along the way.

Great guide, great wildlife and views

Cbarit0211, Feb 2023

Enjoyed guide Fabio, great english and knowledge of the Argentina side of the falls! Saw lots of amazing views, soaked on the boat ride, but worth it! Lot’s of wildlife, birds, butterflies and monkeys+

Great tour - take the boat ride!!

John_H, Feb 2023

We had an excellent time at the falls with our guide! He was very accommodating, even when Viator had canceled the tour (according to the app) and we got everything sorted to go on the tour with him. He picked us up at and dropped us back off at the airport. We flew in from Buenos Aires in the morning an left on the last flight out in the evening. We saw lots of the falls and took the boat tour (which I cant recommend highly enough - but the video and photos they take at the end of the tour - they are amazing and only $15 for everything!!). The only down side is that because we only had half a day at the park that we moved very quickly (too quickly at times) to enjoy the moment. He did stop and show us great spots for pictures and gave us history of the flora and fauna. All-in-all, a very enjoyable tour.

Great short tour

corkadel, Dec 2022

Every worked as advertised (met at airport and returned to same) and Fabio was a wonderful guide. After 12 years doing tours he knows all the questions and answers. It was just my wife and I and he walked very leisurely never rushing or pushing. Definitely would recommend this option if doing a day trip to Iguazu falls.

Amazing Day!

Armando_G, Jul 2022

This tour took us across the border from Foz de Iguaçu to the Argentinian side of the falls. The tour organizer helped us prepare our border crossing documentation the night before, and gave me all the information I needed regarding fees and what we needed to bring with us. We were picked up at our hotel by our tour guide, Jorge, on time. We had a pervade driver and a newer vehicle for a comfortable ride. We crossed the border in quick fashion as we were fully prepared, and proceeded to start the day at the Falls. The sites at the park are spectacular, and the boat ride was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had. You are guaranteed to get completely soaked, so plan accordingly! We changed into bathing clothes and water shoes just prior to boarding the truck that takes you to the launch, and used a water tight case for our phones. What really made this tour stand out was the knowledge and experience of Jorge, our tour guide. Jorge has decades of experience in this area, and everywhere we went everyone knew him. He not only guided us through the park, he shared his passion for his country and Iguazu Falls with us. We received so much insight into not only the area, but also what it's like to be a local. It was truly an amazing day and we are so grateful that Jorge is the person that took us on this experience.

Un'esperienza positiva

Elettra_E, Aug 2023

Abbiamo fatto un tour privato con Marcos, una guida esperta di ornitologia e botanica. L'organizzazione ha seguito le nostre esigenze in merito a orari, luoghi e tempistiche di percorrimento (ho qualche difficoltà motoria mamalgrado il mio problema, sono riuscita a percorrere i vari sentieri in base ai miei ritmi e possibilità). La guida aveva prenotato il trenino interno al parco e abbiamo sfruttato al meglio il tempo a disposizione. Abbiamo fatto anche una sosta per il pranzo in un buon ristorante con buffet, per rinfrancarci tra una camminata e l'altra. L'esperienza è stata molto positiva perché poter vedere così vicino, tanto da bagnarci, simili cascate capita raramente nella vita.
