I had the pleasure of working with Mauro from Ripioturismo

"I had the pleasure of working with Mauro from Ripioturismo in Buenos Aires. I am located in North America and had to do everything through email. He was very detailed and put together a great itinerary for our visit to Iguazu Falls. He was patient when corresponding with me and even with a few last minute changes, he was on top of it. Everything worked great, the travel was easy, pick ups were on time (even at an early hour of 5AM) and the guides were amazing. All in all a great experience to the Falls. I would recommend Mauro to plan your trip.

Don't miss both excursions, lunch in Argentina and boat ride!

"We booked the excursions that included both the Argentina and Brazil sides. Our guide in Argentina, Llarena was great. She was funny and very personable. She gave us some great insights on the history and other information regarding the falls. She gave us plenty of time to enjoy the sights and our included lunch. The food at the falls was delicious. Our second guide in Brazil was very professional and made our trip unforgettable. His knowledge of the falls and fondness for his job and country enhanced our overall experience. The boat ride under the falls was one of the highlights of the trip. Both guides, boat attendants and other personnel we met on both countries were friendly and made our trip to the falls great!
