Parque Nacional do Iguacu - Experience the longest waterfalls in the world on a private day trip with me, surrounded by breathtaking nature, in the heart of Iguacu National Park.
The natural boundary divides the national parks into two completely different halves and thus 70% of the falls are on the Argentine side.
However, according to most visitors to date, the guest has the best panoramic view of the falls from the Brazilian side, from where you can see about 90% of the falls.
At the end of the trail, a bridge awaits you that leads to the horseshoe-shaped canyon with a view of Devil’s Throat.
If you want to avoid the hiking trail or some stairways, you can use the panoramic elevator at the end of the hiking trail.
Boat trips and helicopter flights can be booked locally, as well as restaurants in the national park or Belmond Hotel Das Cataratas.

We had an experience... - We had a wonderful experience with the tour guide. He was professional, respectful, very friendly and patient. The vehicle was also great, with air conditioning and provided us with water at the end. The tour guide really is a nice person to explore and I would recommend it to others.

Worthwhile tour - We had booked the Iguacu waterfalls on the Brazilian side and the bird park. We were picked up at the hotel in Porto Iguacu and brought back.
The tour was great. We also saw the Argentine side. We liked the Brazilian side better. The bird park is also worth seeing. Here you can also observe the birds that otherwise hide in the treetops. Rodrigo has an extensive knowledge of flora and fauna, you could also talk about the land and the political situation. Would book the tour again immediately.

Excellent tour - Super Guide - very informative - Good afternoon, everyone,
The tour was just great.
From the Brazilian side you have a unique view of the falls.
In addition, the Brazilian side is much calmer and more relaxed.
Rodrigo is a super guide who knows very well about the history of Brazil, the history of South America, the political situation and current developments/events. Furthermore, Rodrigo has experienced a lot. He likes to share these experiences with others, which is incredibly exciting and has made the tour very entertaining.
To anyone taking a tour in Iguazu, I recommend this tour and Ridrigo as a guide.

We had the big... - We were very lucky to be on the road with Rodrigo – he speaks perfect German (raised in Germany, therefore at native speaker level) and is incredibly familiar with Brazil, its history, politics, culture and nature. He really offers all kinds of tours and is very flexible: even on the same day he spontaneously organized a tour for us.
Especially around the Iguazú waterfalls he is an absolute professional – he takes care of everything and makes sure that you can enjoy the tour relaxed and without stress. We highly recommend taking a private tour with him, because you are so much more individually looked after and all wishes are taken into account.
The next day we were on the Argentine side of the falls with his business partner Everton. He is also super friendly, speaks fluent English and has also shown us the Itupú Dam.
Both guides are very dedicated, fulfill practically every wish and design the tours with a lot of passion. Of course, private tours come with a price – but since all tours are expensive in Iguazú anyway, you get by far the most for your money here.

Wonderful host, astounding day. - Great private, personalized tour which was a great value for 6 hours. Willian is a superb host with great knowledge of the flora & fauna, history, food and culture of the Falls, the National Park and surrounding communities. He made the pick up from our hotel and the border crossings fast and seamless. Much smoother than trying it as a foreign tourist. He’s a great photographer and knows all the best spots for photo ops along the trails. I would refer him to anyone visiting either Brazil or Argentina!

Greatly recommended, tried this private tour instead of shared one since you get the best dedicated care possible. - We had a blast on this tour. Rodrigo is the best guide ever, his english is great and took care of us the whole time, very knowledgeable of the geography and the history of the place. He even dropped us off at our hotel on the other side (Argentina) of the border after the tour ended.

Amazing Day Trip - Very affordable for a private guide. We did a day trip from Rio and was picked up and dropped off at the airport. Boat Ride is amazing but pricey and we had to pay the guide at the end of the day which was weird (would have preferred to just pay at the boat launch). The guide spoke English but certainly didn't fully understand the English language. There was a lot of confusion and misunderstanding of each other due to this. Nothing we couldn't move past though.

Great Tour, Terrific Value - Very well organized! Varela and the drivers were terrific! Tour was a very good value. If you have limited time to visit, this is an excellent way to do it.

Cancelled the tour last minute without telling us - Horrible experience would not recommend going with this company, very unprofessional. We paid and confirmed with Viator for a half day tour with them, I directly messaged them to make sure it was possible and confirmed it was. When it came time to be picked up at our hotel at 4pm, we waited for 15 minutes then called to see what the delay was, just to be told that their office was closed at 4pm and no tours were being booked from 12pm. Fine! Annoying but understandable however then why did they not inform us once they knew the tour had been booked and paid for, a simple message earlier would have sufficed! No they waited until we contacted them at 4:15 to tell us that essential we paid for nothing and they didn’t have the decency to tell us beforehand. After all this the worker decided to RUDELY HANG UP on me when I said that a refund was to be expected and not a question. Overall very much not impressed, so proceed at your own risk!
