I recommend - The tour was amazing and exceeded all my expectations. From the first contact until the end of the service, everything went perfectly. The staff was extremely attentive, with a special emphasis on the guide Ana Cristina, who was excellent and very careful throughout the tour. I highly recommend Amazon Private Tours.

10 Star River Day Tour! - The river day tour from Manaus was incredible and worth every penny! I’d give it 10 stars if I could. From the moment we booked and were contacted by Milton we felt well cared for. The trip is so well planned and each experience was wonderfully interactive and interesting. Milton, our driver, and our guide all spoke English making the experience so much better for our family. Our guide was so informative and friendly and attentive. I grew up in the area and still learned so much and did several new things I’ve never done - like swimming with a pink dolphin! Amazing! From pick up at our hotel to drop off we loved our day! This trip is perfect for young and old - we had from a 6 year old to an 80 year old in our group and everyone had a great time! The cherry on top was the next day when Milton contacted me that our child had left something behind, he immediately drove nearly 30 min to our hotel and dropped it off for us! Incredible! I can’t review this highly enough! Book with Milton and I promise you will not be sorry!

MUST DO!!!!!! - Absolutely unforgettable experience! Everything we did on this tour was perfectly crafted and enjoyable— for me, my 82 year old grandparents, as well as the teenagers that were with us. I cannot recommend this tour, tour company, and tour guide (Denis!!!) enough. I will never forget all of the special things we got to see and do in the Amazon!! (pair this tour with the “Whole Day in the Jungle” tour!!!!)

Great day on the river. - We had a wonderful day on the river. Our ship was late getting in but we still managed to fit in so much in one day. The guide was very helpful although his English was limited. I would definitely recommend.

A Dreary and rainy start… - It was a dreary raining morning on the Amazon, and our tour was starting late because of our ship’s late arrival. Our guide Dennis started with a recommendation that we go downriver first instead of later, and save the swim with the pink dolphins for the afternoon. It turned out perfectly as we avoided most of the weather and enjoyed everything that was on the agenda ! It was a great day !

Great trip! - Loved swimming with the dolphins and visiting an indigenous tribe. Arturo our guide was excellent! The only down side was the boat ride. Seats were so uncomfortable for such a long boat ride. Other that it was well the price.

River day tour - Trip was very inclusive. Guide was informative. Boat ride very long to include all we did. Indian village very good. I would suggest a boat with forward facing seats. Side bench seats a little much for this long trip. Good value.
