The falls were beautiful - the words paradise and Eden come to mind. The stay in the rainforest at Yacutinga was also a highlight. Tell people to go there! The service is outstanding and the rainforest is beautiful and exciting." Ryan Wong "What can I say... it was amazing! i was expecting to join group tours, but I had the lovely Luiz all to myself! He was there to meet me at the airport and looked after me until I was almost in the departure lounge on the way back! Iguassu was amazing.. the falls were awesome from both the Agentinian side and the Brazillian..I actually took the boat trip that went under one of the waterfalls and got drenched! Thanks so much for help organising it all... it all went really smoothly from arrival to departure and I had a great time! Thanks!!" Ali "My trip to Sao Paulo, especially the visit to Iguassu was for me an enjoyable trip . The Falls was impressive and I made many memorable photo's. The trip was the more succesful with the professional of your team. Airport pickup was on time. and the two days tour was done nicely with your friendly and knowledgeable guides.Comfortable transportation. I thank you for that." Wardiman "It was great...our guide was a great guy...and knew a ton. More like traveling with a friend than a guide. He and our driver were always right on time. We really enjoyed ourselves. No way we could have seen all that we saw on our own." Larry "We’re home now after our South American adventure, and I wanted to thank you for helping us make such wonderful arrangements in Iguazu, Argentina. The guide Carlos was wonderful, informed, entertaining, funny, and attentive; the driver Roberto was very nice; and the person who helped us to the airport as we departed (whose name I cannot remember) left no detail unattended. The falls themselves are indescribably beautiful, and the tour was great fun, a real highlight for us. Further, the Hotel St. George was a delight, very attractive, wonderful staff, excellent on-site restaurant. We couldn’t have wanted for a better trip." Susan "The trip was excellent. Both guides, especially Jessica, were really good, helpful, experienced, and spoke fluent English. Joanna was good too. The Viale Tower hotel was very nice, new and the room was clean and big." Sonia "I am at the airport in Sao Paolo and wanted to let you know what a wonderful trip I had to the Iguazu. Everything was very well organized, airport pick up, hotel, the guide, all fantastic.
