This tour will be a memorable…
"This tour will be a memorable experience for anyone wanting a one-day tour of Iguazu Falls. IguazuFalls.com provided door-to-door service, with every aspect on-time and as-promised. In particular, we had Junior as our Iguazu guide, and he accompanied us for the entire day, from picking us up at the airport, showing us the best viewing spots at the falls, and even returning us to the airport.

Everything about the activity was…PERFECT
"Everything about the activity was magical, from the ride through the jungle, to the ride onto the waterfalls! Unforgettable experience. The staff was professional, organized and provided a very fun exhilarating experience. We saw there were many activity options, this being on the more expensive side, but it was worth every penny! We had a large group of friends traveling and this was everyone's favorite adventure. If we are ever in the area, we would all return for another dip. Don't miss out on this incredible experience!

Great one dah tour with flights.
"Took a one day Iguacu tour from Rio de Janeiro and back to Sao Paolo. Everything was perfectly organized - pick up at hotel and airports, flights, tour of the falls and guide. The guide helps cut through hours of lines for park internal busses and was professional. The day was amazing and smooth
