Great Rio & Iguazu Experience We had a really great time on this tour. Lucas in Rio and Cezar in Iguazu were both excellent guides — friendly, helpful, and made everything feel easy and relaxed. The tours unexpectedly felt more private and personalized, which made the experience even better. The hotel in Copacabana was a great choice too. Loved the rooftop deck and the location was perfect near the beach, restaurants, and shops. OntheGo Tours was also easy to communicate with before and during the trip, which made everything smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an easy and enjoyable Rio and Iguazu trip.Show more

This was a great tour through Columbia with countless highlights! We enjoyed the last 11 days very much, from receiving a lovely welcome bag, lots of good activities, tours, guides and beautiful accommodations! What could be improved is the flexibility for airport transfers in case one arrives a few days early or leaves later. The only negative experience in Columbia was with Avianca and their very disappointing service; Avianca's so-called modern cabin is the worst and most claustrophobic configuration possible - it's a shame for Columbian Tourism and as frequent flyers we can say with confidence that Avianca has the worst cabin standards in South America, even budget airlines offer a better service.Show more
