Fabulous, customized tour to Iguazu Falls - Mauro Levin was very helpful (and patient) helping us customize our fantastic tour to Iguazu Falls. We ended up also doing the Argentine Experience and Itaipu Dam, both of which we really enjoyed.
The private guide that was assigned, Ricardo, was dynamite, with excellent communication and guidance. He picked us up from the airport and was with us every step of the way, taking us back to the airport as well, even helping us at the counter with the check-in. Thank you, Ripio Turismo. Your excellent reviews are well deserved.

Top - Very cool park, well marked and structured.
Nice to go well to take good advantage!
Accepts a Brazilian student wallet, with which the price of half the Argentine ticket is 7,000 pesos and whole Brazilian 45,000 pesos.
The park is well organized and marked. It is possible to access the bottom, upper and the throat of the devil by walking, but for those who prefer it is possible to buy train tickets to make the route without hiking.
Me and my husband did walking right, the trails are quite quiet, it is possible to make the trails safely and calmly if you are pregnant. The water flow was much larger than the Brazilian side.
The stop from the throat of the devil is spectacular and the view is also breathtaking. Super recommend!

Amazing views - Both tours were wonderful. The guide Junior on the Argentina side was fabulous. He was very accommodating and so informative. The same goes for Macca, our guide on the Brazil side. Well worth visiting both sides.

Visit to both sides iguazu falls with manual wheelchir - My husband (76) can walk only a few steps so I pushed him in his manual wheelchair to both sides of the falls.
Tours were $350 per person for 2 days--after reading the forum, decided to use a taxi.
We took a taxi from the airport offered with the set price of 15000 to town to drop off luggage, then realized the falls were closer than the town, so had the taxi driver take us to the falls, where he facilitated my husband's free entrance (Argentinean law). I should have also been free as his companion but we did not have a certificate of handicappedness, so 2 for 1.
The top circuit is closed. Pushed him around the superior circuit, mostly a grated path, ok for WC, not too much up and down. Views were ok--from the top looking down on different falls. Near the end a Brazilian man offered to push him--it was hot, I was tired--and he pushed him the rest of the way. After lunch, set off for the inferior circuit. Lots of vague signage and going up and down looking for the path-- the kind of thing one would not notice were one not pushing a WC in 90-degree heat-- before finally realizing the trail began down a VERY steep hill which I knew I could never push him back up, so he waited for me in the shaded lunch area. The inferior circuit was an almost flat grated path with better views than the superior. A golf cart for the truly handicapped would have made it accessible.
Paid 35000, ie $30, for transport from the airport to the park, storing luggage in taxi trunk, and then transport to town. seemed ok, so didn't bargain.
Next day our driver picked us up at 8:30--our choice, he suggested 730--took us to the Brazilian side across 2 borders, waited for us 2 1/2 hours, then took us back across borders to a gas station where we were picked up for another trip. Cost 45000. Did not bargain. Handicapped's only advantage, at least with a taxi: is going to the front of the line.
On the Brazilian side, we took the bus- into the park. I got off at the path and my husband took it to the end. The walk to the falls was in the shade of the hill and very pleasant with nice views. Had stairs so impractical with chair.
No real signs but at the elevator, you are near the bus stop. I found my husband and walked back up to the building then DOWN to the elevator. I advise taking the downhill shadier path into the elevator building to avoid a steepish hot path, which I did not know til I did the opposite as NO SPECIFIC SIGNS..
But--HOW GREAT!-they have a panoramic elevator to get close to the falls, which otherwise would be inaccessible. I pushed him to the last platform beside the falls, There was a lower grated path directly in front of the fall, EXTREMELY crowded, think Times Square on Saturday night. I could have probably taken him there but he declined. We returned on the non-panoramic elevator and walked (Up through the sun) to the bus stop.
My only regret is that I later discovered an 8 km hiking trail starting at the visitor center on Argentinian Falls. I would have loved to walk on it, but as my husband had already had to wait for me, sadly impractical.
Cost for 2 days: taxi 80000--about $ 68, plus entrance fees
The experience was truly priceless

Two day Iguazu Fall tour - The arrangements made by Lucia Rubio were prompt and professional. The taxi and airline booking were done well. Having traveled from California, we had to prompt the taxis and agent the day before to verify the appointment to feel comfortable. But they were prompt and courteous. The tour guide was good and knowledgeable. We covered amazing views from Argentina's and Brazil’s sides of the Iguazu Falls, including a helicopter tour. The weather also cooperated to make our trip comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, the trip was excellent.

Incredible tour, incredible sights, incredible guides - Paharo (Brazil) was an amazing guide. Appreciated his vast knowledge of the falls but most importantly his positive energy. He showed true character when he stopped the group to help an elderly lady down the steps. He was always a willing photographer when offering to take pics. The beauty and power of the falls is one not to be missed.
Fredrico (Argentina) was an amazing guide taking his time to walk the trails and let us take pictures and be in awe of the falls. The Argentina side is a longer walking tour but it’s slow and easy. Saw Toucans and a monkey which was pretty cool. The boat ride (additional cost) is a must but keep in mind there are a lot of steps to get down to the boat. As a Canadian we chose the end of October which was great as weather was not too hot but definitely hit enough. Highly recommend!!

Double check your reservation - Our original booking fell through with the local tour provider RipioTourismo. An attempt to reach them at the number provided in the Viator app failed. An alternate number was found but the person answering spoke no English. Our hotel staff in Iguazú was able to speak with a tour operator. Later, we received an email from the tour provider indicating our original reservation had not been processed due to system error. We successfully re-booked with a different tour provider from our hotel. We request a refund be provided for the original booking. Thanks.

Not recommended for this - The tour company RipioTurismo accepted this booking wasn't well organised. It's more like a 3rd party agent who sells the customer to other local tour agent. Day 1 and Day 2 are from the different agency. The local agent texted to purchased in advanced in both side of the fall, however this step wasn't needed and it costed trouble the the tourist for take the fixed timing to enter the park in the Brazilian side.
Recommend NOT to do this 2 days tour. Should get a day tour instead which you Will not be confused by 2 different agencies.
