What people love about touring Brazil solo
- Colors of Brazil: Rio, Foz do Iguazu & Salvador (incl. domestic flights)
We are a private tour of four people, visiting the Iguazu Falls. The arrangements for the three days, including the design of the itinerary, the selection of hotels and assignment of the local Iguazu tour guide, were all excellent. We feel very well taken care of the whole way. Thank you for an enjoyable time.
- Brazil and Argentina with Iguazu Falls 4 Star
It was certainly an amazing and wonderful tour and we enjoyed it very much! The tour was greatly organized and the tour plan was very well implemented. The tour organizers showed excellent capability of solving unexpected issue (transfer driver no show at EZE airport) very quickly and effectively. The tour guides and transfer drivers we met during the days showed great professionalism and kindness, in particular, we would like to send many thanks to two tour guides: Juliana (Buenos Aires) and Jim (Iguazu Falls). We really appreciate the time spent with them respectively! By taking the tour, we visited a number of very interesting and impressive historical and cultural spots, including globally well know places, in BA and Rio. We were really astonished and amazed by the splendid and magnificent Iguazu Falls. We also had opportunity to enjoy some local cuisine and wine/beers! All of these have made the tour unforgettable!
- Best of Brazil
Great tour overall. Itinerary was perfect for a short trip to Brazil. The transportation was average with a mix of shared van, private van, public transport, boat, etc
