“Eddie, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, conversational, helping us see and understand one of the greatest wonders of the world! He helped us with tips to get ahead of the crowds, such as where to sit on the train. We explored all 3 trails, a must! The boat ride was fun, takes you right under the falls, literally—you will get soaking wet so be prepared with a change of clothes! Eddie’s knowledge of English is excellent. And we were picked up from our hotel on time. I can give the highest recommendation to him and the tour.”

“Esta excursión fatal. Es una estafa. El proveedor del lugar no responde. Nunca me recogieron en el punto de recogida señalado. Nunca se pusieron en contacto conmigo ni responden los correos electrónicos ni los mensajes. Me cobraron muchísimo dinero 390 USD por 3 personas. Y EN CATARATAS DE IGUAZÚ NADIE LOS CONOCE Y EL MISMO TOUR POR PERSONA CUESTA 60 dólares.”

“Não podemos fazer o passeio de barco Gran Aventura com o filho mais novo porque tem 11 anos (faz 12 no dia 3) e o programa apenas indica que é não recomendável a menores de 12, não indica que é interdito. Obrigou a que a minha mulher ficasse com o filho e não usámos 2 passeios de barco para os quais gostaríamos de ver o valor devolvido. Não informaram que o passeio a pé à Garganta do Diabo está fechado desde Outubro 2023. No final tivemos uma paragem de 1h10m num centro comercial que não está no programa e dispensávamos”
Pick a park, a boat deck or a way of getting wet.
