Absolutely an exceptional...

Absolutely an exceptional experience from start to finish! The Iguazú Falls tour covering both the Brazilian and Argentine sides was one of the highlights of our trip. The views were simply breathtaking. Seeing the falls from both sides gave us completely different perspectives, and each was spectacular in its own way. The power and beauty of the waterfalls were something we will never forget. A special mention must go to our guide, **Henrique**, who was absolutely excellent. He was knowledgeable, friendly, patient and extremely helpful throughout the entire day. He made sure everything went smoothly, guided us through the different areas, and shared interesting information along the way. His attention to detail and warm personality really made the experience even more special. The organisation was also excellent, and we never felt lost or rushed despite visiting two countries in one day. If you are planning to visit Iguazú Falls, I would highly recommend doing both the Brazilian and Argentine sides. And if you are lucky enough to have Henrique as your guide, you are in for an especially memorable experience! An unforgettable day and truly one of the best experiences of our trip. Thank you, Henrique, for making it so special!

A Good Trip

We came to Rio from Chile and we had Daniel Israel from C2rio as our guide, and honestly, everything was very good; the guide was very informative, the transfer was very spacious and comfortable, and of the group of tourists, I was the only one with my 1-year-old baby, and they were always aware, especially the guide. The places to visit were beautiful and the tour had plenty of time to enjoy each place.

One day out in Rio

Good day out seeing highlights of Rio. Go hungry, there is a lot of lunch. Flavoo was a very competent guide

Be aware it’s a multilingual tour

The tour does gives a quick walkthrough of the classic highlights, which is great, and the lunch was really good. What I did not like was that the trip was guided in multiple languages and that makes it really boring and scripted. The guide needs to do all the jokes and facts in multiple languages and it all feels flat. Also we sat back in the bus and could se much out of the windows because we where elevated and the windows are low. Last point is the super annoying booking AI that spams you with 5-6 messages before the trip. «Are you ready for your trip in a few hours?» was sendt over a day before, so I was panicking and thought I had booked the wrong day.

Unforgettable tour of Rio: Priscylla and Alex are the best!

Excellent service and an unforgettable tour of Rio! Everything impeccably organized. The guidance from Priscylla and Alex was on another level: professional, super well-prepared, and with a charisma, energy, and good humor that were contagious and made the tour a thousand times better. If you come to Rio, 100% recommended!
