A very enjoyable and exhausting day, traveling by plane to the great Iguazu Falls. Our party of 4 were able to leave the details of transportation, places to see the best sights, a place to eat, and shopping opportunities to the local guides. We were able to go at our own pace, and we had someone to take our group photos. Our main guide was perceptive to our needs. The falls were amazing, and the little coatis were fun to watch. We were able to shop in the nearby town afterwards, before heading to the airport. We were subject to a sales pitch, attempting to get us to pay extra for additional activities which did not interest us and/or were too expensive. Thus we had the additional shopping time because we were not in the mood for getting wet on a boat ride or taking a costly helicopter flight or crossing the border into Brazil where we were already going to be headed in the future. As we had these options before we booked this, we did not need to revisit the choices.

The tour was very well organized. Our flight was all booked and I appreciated that a link was sent to easily download our boarding passes. Guides were always on time and busses were clean. I liked the small group as well. Guide facilitated Brazil border crossings - all went smoothly. Our guide at the falls was friendly and knowledgeable. Would recommend this company for sure.

Very nice guide with deep personal interest and knowledge about the nature, animals, plants, butterflies which made my journey very unique. He took good care of me, made me wear repellent and sunscreen which was important. The guide knew the best photo spots and took tons of pictures of me)). Also nice and careful driver. Thank you!

Well organised, good communication from Caroline in the planning stages. Hotel pickup and drop off on time, no issues. Flights all ok. Our guide Ariel was lovely and knowledgeable. The falls are amazing and worth the visit! Would highly recommend.

Nature has so much to offer that you forget everything else. Our guide was very good once he had thawed out a bit. But it was definitely so impressive that you should do it if time and money allow it. We are very grateful to have seen it!!!!
