Amazing! - This was amazing. From start to finish the experience itself was fantastically planned. Weda was incredible and very knowledgeable.

We would definitely recommend - Our guide, Joao, was energetic, enthusiastic and helpful throughout the 8 hours, weaving between languages fluidly.
We enjoyed all the events of the day which ended with the excitement of the boat ride.
It was also a pleasure chatting and laughing with a very nice group of fellow passengers.
The only downside to the day was some extended stand and wait times between different parts of the trip (especially in areas where the bugs were biting). Perhaps a tighter schedule with less downtime between excursions? Any lineups moved smoothly.
The start to the day was also delayed due to a marathon on the same morning but that worked in our favour as we then had the option to fill in time with a visit to the Parque des Aves. A very big bonus!

Easter in Iguazu - Helpful MMC drivers. Very organised, explained what to do, where to go. Falls are amazing and Manuco safari & boatride was fab. MMC drivers also sorted us a taxi back over boarder from Brazil to hotel in Argentina 🙏🥰

Amazing experience - Wonderful place, perfect view, coming to Foz and not doing this is a sin. What a crazy but rewarding experience. It's worth every penny, even if it's affection for those with a family of 5 people. Moments that are worth it.

Fantastic - Second time I'm going, despite the above average price for tours, it's worth the experience, for those who don't have a phobia of water, they can't go through this life without doing it.

Amazing…DEFINITELY get WET - Amazing experience, went with my parents, husband and 8 yr old daughter. Take a little ride then walk a bit get a life jacket and load onto a boat, they take you out to see the falls which is amazing… then you go under one of the small falls and doesn’t matter where you sit you get soaked. I would recommend leaving your bag at the dock to ensure your belongings stay dry. I think our daughter had the best time she wanted to go again

Good value for amazing experience - Amazing tour! João was an excellent guide, and very helpful throughout the day. The walk to the falls is wonderful, so many photo opportunities, and the brindle out over the falls is incredible! Highly recommend this tour, I have complaints.

Very disappointed with lack of a true guided experience. - On the day of our scheduled tour, we were not picked up. The phone number of the tour company was busy for two hours. Neither our hotel nor Viator was able to contact the tour operator until two hours after the scheduled pick-up. The tour operator said "we were not in their computer database." Viator had confirmed our tour arrangements just days before our trip. Fortunately, we were able to reschedule the tour on the day we were supposed go to the airport. No apology for the miscommunication from the tour operator.
This was not a tour. We had a driver that picked us up and brought us back to the hotel. We did not see him at the site. No guiding. Just a time to meet for the return. The guide/driver spent 8 minutes reviewing the location map with the Brizilian couple (Portugese) and one minute with us in English.
The Falls are spectacular, not to be missed. But it was a lot of money for just a driver.
