"We had a 2 week adventure between Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls and Salta. All tours, flights, accommodations were thought out for us. Wonderful adventure.
" This was an excellent way to see Iguazu Falls and feel totally taken care of. Everything went really well from the initial contact to help us plan the trip to the airport transfers, flights, tour guide/driver and hotel. The tour guide/driver was great at flexibly meeting our needs and interests and making sure we got as much out of the 2 days as possible. He was very informed about the area and things to do. We could not have asked for a better way to experience this magnificent wonder from God.
" Fantastic experience and certainly worth visiting. The guide was friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and punctual. Visits to the waterfalls and the Itaipu dam was just perfect for a day trip.
"Our trip was amazing. Our guide Cesar was the best! He was flexible and so accommodating when rain threatened our trip. He made schedule adjustments and ensured we had the best views of the falls. The entire team did an excellent job from start to finish. Betty and Curt
"We had a great time visiting Iguazu Falls from the Brazilian side. The one day visit which started from our hotel in Rio de Janeiro in the morning and ended with returning to the same hotel in the night went according to plan without any hitches. Our thanks to Walter who made all the arrangements for the visit.
