How to see Manaus

Susan_D, Apr 2024

This was a great tour. The Manaus Opera house is a real gem. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating to those who had mobility issues. I recommend this tour.

Manaus city tour in a compact car

Brian_B, Mar 2024

The tour started out a little rough with the guide showing up with a compact car to pick up 4 adult not skinny people. This is the be aware that the vehicle used on tours in Manaus might not be your SUV or van type of vehicle. The next disappointment was that the Opera House was closed that afternoon due to an upcoming event. Not the tour guides fault but still disappointing. Since it was rainy season we were continually dodging rainstorms. But overall we saw some interesting museums and markets and the guide was very informative about the places we saw and visited. I would recommend this tour with the caveat that if cramped transportation isn’t your style then verify what size of vehicle is being used up front. These tours advertise air conditioned vehicle but don’t indicate size.

Thank you for your feedback. Sorry for the size of the car we use in Manaus. Milton Fernandes

Our guide was patient and helpful. Communication prior to tour was excellent. So helpful to have a car take us from place to place. Interaction with local people is always an education.

Great Day in Manaus

Karen_S, Dec 2022

Arrived on a "pathetic" 5 hour late cruise. Joao (John) was waiting and showed us an nice tour. Behind the scenes and skipping the lines at crowded venues. As a native, John had an incredible knowledge of Manaus, and knew how to relay it to us in perfect English. HIghly Recommended

Milton and Manaus

Michelle_H, Dec 2022

Our guide was able to access points of interests very quickly and it was apparent that he was a common presence as he knew most everyone we encountered! He was knowledgeable about the city and answered all of our questions. He even gave insight and shared local Foods and drinks.

Manaus

myronprosser, Feb 2020

Our guide Sergio had limited English. It was very hot and sticky for the first part of the trip - a walking tour of the coast and market. Hi car did have air con but no bottle of water as described. The Rio Palace and Opera House were interesting but there must have been other area of Manaus that were missed.

Response from Host, Mar 2020

Thank you for having chosen us to guide you through Manaus, We are sorry for not having reached your expectations and do hope to have you back one day to do better. Best regards
