Wish we could give Pedro 20/10. He was brilliant from start to finish. We booked a full day private tour with him to visit both the Brazilian and Argentinian side of the Iguacu falls. Pedro was so knowledgeable and helped us understand the falls in the best way possible. Would 100% recommend booking with him when visiting the Iguacu Falls.
Highly recommendable. Sidnei is a gentle and friendly man with a tremendous of experience. Just rely on him.
We had an exceptional experience with Nicholas as our private guide for a full day visiting both the Argentine and Brazilian sides of Iguazú Falls. Nicholas met us at our hotel precisely at the agreed-upon time, and from that point on, the entire day could not have gone better. We were especially glad we chose to have a private guide because we had only one day to experience both sides of the Falls. Nicholas made the entire day easy, efficient, and very well planned. His knowledge of the area and his recommendations were invaluable. He knew how to navigate the border crossings, how to make the most of our time at the Falls, and, importantly, how to avoid many of the inevitable crowds. His planning allowed us to see and experience so much without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Nicholas was professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and clearly committed to making sure we had a great experience. Having him guide us through both Argentina and Brazil made a complicated one-day itinerary remarkably easy. We could not have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Nicholas to anyone visiting Iguazú Falls.

We just had an absolutely perfect experience with our guide Sidnei. We were picked up at 7am from our hotel in Puerto Iguazu in a nice clean vehicle. First, we crossed the border to see the falls from the Brazilian side. Great planning, thanks to an early start and our guide’s expertise, border crossing was a breeze. Because of Sidnei’s special access to enter the park before hours, we more or less had the trail to ourselves before the park opened to the buses. It was truly magical, double rainbows, tears of joy, almost a religious experience. We did get pretty wet but didn’t care a bit. Parque de Aves was another bite size treat, we would highly recommend to see. Sidnei recommended a great buffet style lunch stop for us in Foz do Iguacu and then again as smoothly as before, we crossed the border back to Argentina. Cataratas on Argentina side also are very beautiful in their own way. We definitely had a day to remember! If we could give 6 stars to this tour, we would! Thank you Sidnei again!
This is a wonderful tour and Sidnei, our guide was fabulous! He picked us up at our hotel at the time we had been given. He was knowledgeable, professional and patient. He helped us navigate passport control quickly and efficiently. He never made us feel rushed taking pictures and just enjoying the falls. I would highly recommend this tour and tour guide.
Sidnei was an excellent guide for the day. He was prompt and professional. His love for the falls and the area were evident in his knowledgeable narrations. He patiently allowed us as much time as we wanted to take pictures and just stand there to enjoy the fall’s experience. I would highly recommend this experience with Sidnei!
Excellent Day at the falls with our fun and energetic guide, Eduardo. Highly recommend this private tour - extremely easy and well communicated allowed for a stress free adventure.
We had an amazing 2 day experience of both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides. The guides were amazingly friendly and informative. The private guide is highly recommended.
Try to do both Argentine and Brasilian sides Bring rain coat good non slippy type shoes and sense of adventure!
We had the most amazing tour of the Argentinian and Brazilian side of the falls with Sidnei. He was knowledgeable, informative, shared everything he knew, but also allowed us to conduct the tour at our own pace. Thank you so much! I would not hesitate to book a private tour, it was well worth the additional cost.
An amazing experience, you really get to experience Iguazu Falls up close. Our tour guide Sidnei was amazing, very accommodating and knowledgeable, going above and beyond any other tour guide would. I would highly recommend this tour for small private groups. We got to experience both the Argentinean and Brazilian side getting to see the the Devil's Throat, various waterfalls and experience a boat ride out to the falls. Sidnei was very accommodating and adjusted our itinerary based on what we wanted to see and experience. The tour was definitely worth it as we got see and experience more than we would have had we done a group tour. Sidnei has a lot of experience spanning back 3 generations of tour guides and knows a great deal about Iguazu and the place in general.
Sidnei planned and arranged a spectacular day on the Brazilian side. He picked us up early in the morning from our hotel in Argentina. First we visited the falls, followed by a helicopter ride, then to Parque do Aves, and lunch. A perfect day our family will always remember. The border crossings, crowds, and logistics are pretty intense, and Sidnei managed it all with expertise that helped us get ahead of it all. Highly, highly recommend this private tour!!
Fantastic tour of area’s big draw Iguazú Falls. My guide Sidnei wisely started early, on Brazil side, and amazingly avoided the crowds, which was very much appreciated. He also tailored the tour to my preferences. Visiting both sides of the falls provided great perspectives of this world-famous travel site. I highly recommend this tour.
THE falls are breathtaking — powerful, humbling and , unforgettable. Our guide Eduardo made it even better: he was punctual, attentive, and full of smart tips that helped us find the best routes and views without the crowds. It was an incredible experience from start to finish. Tip ...go early and do the Argentina side first.
Our tour guide Douglas went above and beyond excellent knowledge friends and colleagues that helped through the day top marks and would recommend him and the excursion to anyone first class
Since we booked our trip to Argentina many months ago we had been looking forward most of all to the Iguazu trip Today we visited the falls and had an experience like never before This was due to the falls but also our guide Fernando He could not have been more helpful, courteous and thoughtful His local knowledge was second to none and we could not rate him or this tour more highly
Eduardo picked me up on time, clean and comfortable car, with water on hand. Trip was seamless, having a guide helped navigate the crowds and tickets, and also meant that the best spots were visited first. The trip into Brazil and through customs was also easy and quick. Lunch stop was really good! Unexpectedly tasty food (buffet) for a decent price. Eduardo was funny and kind and safe and informative - and a great photographer too! Would recommend.
Our tour of the 2 sides of Iguazu Falls was perfect. Sidnei was punctual, friendly, and knowledgeable—we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He worked within our time constraints to construct a wonderful tour of the falls. He was flexible and offered us options at multiple points during our day. We highly recommend this tour!
Brilliant tour of Iguazu falls from both sides . Went smoothly and Sidnei was a great tour guide and he also arranged our boat trip which was great fun . Can’t think him enough for organising a brilliant day for us , he’s friendly and knowledgable , definitely recomend SCA Falls Tour
Sidnei is an excellent guide and ambassador for beautiful Iguazu Falls. We visited both sides of the falls in wonderful fashion…Sidnei knows all the best ways to see the spectacular area, navigated the border crossings as an expert and made our excursion very memorable. Highly recommended for this tour.
We booked a one-day private tour of Iguazu Falls covering both the Brazilian and Argentine sides, and it was truly unforgettable thanks to our guide, Sidnei. He was incredibly well-organized and thoughtful, taking care of every detail so we didn’t have to worry about the itinerary. Sidnei’s planning allowed us to simply enjoy the experience while he handled all the logistics. He guided us to every extraordinary viewpoint we hoped to see, ensuring we captured the full beauty of the falls from both sides. His professionalism, knowledge, and warm personality made the day seamless and enjoyable. Sidnei also went the extra mile by picking us up directly from our hotel and dropping us off at the airport as needed—without hesitation. I highly recommend Sidnei to anyone visiting Iguazu Falls—he is without a doubt one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had.
Fantastic opportunity to see both sides of the falls in one day. Our tour guide Eduoardo was very knowledgable and spoke perfect English. It was an amazing day one we shall remember forever.
Sidnei was able to get us into the park before it opened to the public - what a treat! It was a wonderfully comprehensive day. Wear sunscreen!
The service provided by Sidnei and his crew was outstanding. Everything from assisting us with Argentine and Brazil border crossings to providing transfer support to and from the airport to our accommodation. Jair our guide for the day was fantastic, very informative and very enthusiastic about the Iguazu National Park, it’s history and wildlife. Jair spent the whole day (9 hours) with us, from pick up to drop off. We would highly recommend this company and in particular doing the smaller, personalised tour. The early start (7am) ensured we got the 1st train and beat the majority of crowds.
Our guide Eduardo was a friendly young guy who was able to speak good English. During the whole journey, he briefed us about the history of the park, the wild animal and birds living in the park. He not only showed his professional as a travel guide but also was concerned about safety of his passenger and never exceeded the speed limit.
What a great day. We started on the Brazilian side. WOW! Our guide Sidnei was the best. He knew where we needed to go to get through all the different customs. He dropped us off at the start of the trail and met us about 1/2 way through. We decided to go to Paraguay during our drive and for a fee, he accommodated us, no problem. When we got to the Argentina side, I got dropped at our hotel (I was way too hot), and he took my husband there. Hubby said it wasn’t as impressive but still nice to see. Sidnei spoke excellent English. I would definitely recommend his company and him.
Get Fernando as your guide. Excellent service. We added on the soaking boat trip which was fun. The 600 meter optional walk was a waste of time.
Sidnei was an excellent guide. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about the area. We were able to enter the Falls early & avoided the queues at the Brazilian border. Overall an amazing experience.
Sidnei took us on an amazing tour of Iguazu falls. We started our day around 7am when he picked us up from our hotel in Argentina and took us across the border to the Brazilian side of the falls. We spent most of the day there, and then came back to the Argentinian side in the early afternoon to tour that side of the falls. Logistically, having a knowledgeable guide made the border crossings so much smoother than they could have been. We didn’t have to wait at all, and he told us exactly what to do, where to be, and what documents to have prepared ahead of time. His timing was also impeccable for ensuring we got to see everything we wanted to as well as make it to our flight that evening on time. He was able to be flexible while still making sure we got to see and do everything we wanted to. In addition, Sidnei was very personable and informative. He told us a lot about the animals in the area, as well as the formation of the falls. He clearly knew the area well and could tell us about not only the geological history of the falls but also some of the more recent floods and infrastructure around the falls and how that is created and maintained. Overall, he made our visit a great and very smooth experience!
We had a very fun, jam-packed day with our guide Douglas! He arrived for pick-up on time in Argentina and laid out the plan of activities for the day. As we were completing the Argentinian side of Iguazu Falls, we spontaneously decided to add a stop in Paraguay before going to Brazil for the other side of the park — Douglas was happy to accommodate this with no prior planning for a reasonable fee. Just be aware that crossing the Brazil-Paraguay border on foot (to avoid road traffic) is a bit chaotic as it’s a very busy area. We crossed many borders throughout the day, and he clearly knew the ins and outs of each. This saved us HOURS of time, especially on the way back to our hotel in Argentina at the end of the day. We trusted him very much because of this experience and hired him to take us to the airport the next morning, which required yet another border crossing because of our flight out of the Brazil airport. If you are concerned about how to manage time, belongings, and border crossings on your own, I would highly recommend this tour.
Had an amazing time at the falls with Sidnei as our guide. We got picked up from pur hotel in Brazil and immediately went to the Argentine side to avoid the rush. Sidnei knew all the short cuts so we were able to take the train and do the devils throat trail and then the upper trail before heading back to brazil for lunch and the brazil trails. Sidnei' family is three generations of guides, so he was also able to help us with a few inquiries we had about hotels and local spots. Amazing experience!
Eduardo – I truly cannot recommend you enough! We spent an absolutely fantastic day with you during the Argentinian and Brazilian Iguazu Falls tour. From start to finish everything was perfectly organised — easy pick-up, smooth border crossing, and comfortable drop-off. Eduardo is an incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and kind young gentleman. His fluent English made communication effortless, and his passion for the area really made the experience come alive. Thanks to him, we were able to enjoy both sides of the Falls in one day without any stress. If you are looking for a professional, friendly and reliable guide who will make your Iguazu visit unforgettable — look no further. Highly, highly recommended!
Sidnei provided the most seamless experience for our trip to Iguazu falls. From the pre-tour communication, to pickup, border navigation and navigation through both parks, everything was professional. I would definitely recommend booking this tour.
Excellent trip. We had an amazing time! Our tour guide was excellent, we were kept well-informed throughout the day and learned so much about the falls
We had a great experience at our private tour to falls. Our guide William Ribeiro was amazing. He was on time, spoke good English and made sure we were having a good time. We asked him to take a few detours to get money exchange and some personal items and he was able to accommodate us.
This tour is the perfect way to see both sides of the falls as seamlessly as possible in one day. Both sides of the border offer unique perspectives and are not to be missed. This is truly one of the world's great natural wonders. My guide, Sidnei, was extraordinarily good. He has an ideal balance of competence and deference to allow you to make the tour experience your own and get the most out of it. He is exceptionally knowledgeable about his subjects and possessed of excellent English. I've had many guides and few have been as as good as Sidnei.
Edouardo is a courteous and trustworthy young man. He has a firm grasp of English and is very knowledgeable. I have no concerns recommending him as a guide.
Before our tour Sidnei gave us a list of things we should bring for the day, as well as a list of admission prices. Sidnei picked us up early at our hotel and took us to the Brazilian side of the falls. It was so special being one of only a few people and a large family of coatis as we walked along the trail. Sidnei pointed out various sights along the way. We then drove to the Argentinian side where we took the train to the path to the Devil's Throat. He was there with us the entire time and pointed out the various animals in the water and birds perched in trees. We appreciated his being cognizant of our individual physical capabilities. Perfect guide - the Falls were the highlight of our South American trip. We hired Sidnei to take us to the airport the next morning. Always on time and willing to meet our requests. Would definitely hire SCA Tours again.
What an amazing day. Leonardo picked us up promptly at 7am and was an excellent tour guide. He speaks 5 languages and provided us with so much information and knowledge. It was just my wife and I so was completely personalized to our needs. The waterfall from both the Brazilian and Argentina side was absolutely spectacular. A beautiful experience and memory.
We had a fantastic full-day experience at Iguazu with Sidnei, visiting both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides of the waterfalls. He was a very pleasant presence and an excellent organizer, making the day smooth and stress-free. The Macuco Safari boat trip was absolutely amazing, and Parque das Aves was an extraordinary place to visit. We 100% recommend Sidnei for an unforgettable Iguazu experience.
I would definitely recommend this. While you could technically do a tour on your own. There is no way it would be as efficient and enjoyable without a guide. We had William and he was knowledgeable, friendly, and he got us past all the crowds. He basically waited so that we were the first us to arrive at devil’s throat on the first trolley. We weren’t able to do the Brazil side because we weren’t able to get the E visa in time. Kind of tired from the all day tour and the optional boat so it kind of worked out. Do the optional book tour no question. Pro tip: if you can stay at the Gran Melia hotel, because basically you can walk to the park anytime you want.
Great communication after booking with Sidnie which enabled a great day. We met at Belmont hotel early and viewed Brazil side before crowds We then went via his transport to the Argentina side, initially viewing the devils throat via train and after lunch the blue trail. Sidnie was a great tour leader for my wife and I, giving good information but not overwhelming us. I would definitely book Sidnie for a tour of the falls again.
Our guide Sidnei was excellent, & spoke very good English. He was extremely well informed regarding the falls, he was able to secure entrances in a very timely manner. He was very careful with his driving & overall, he was a personable & wonderful guide.
Truly professional and personable Father and Son team. Had a brilliant day with them. Breath taking scenery and great knowledge and general conversation. We would absolutely recommend. Thank you for an unforgettable day. The highlight of our South America Trip.
Probably the best, if not the only way to see an entire wonder in one day. Iguzazu is a very large waterfall system with a wide network of walkways. I believe that navigating it all in one day without experienced guidance is a difficult task. Sidnei, however, made our experience enjoyable and straightforward. I will certainly recommend it!
We had a fantastic day with Sidnei! He was on time, very helpful, very knowledgeable, and very flexible. He’s easy to talk to when you have questions or are just making small talk, and he’s also good about noticing when you’re tired and giving you some space and some quiet We had to make several adjustments to the schedule during the day because of our travel plans and he was super accommodating He even had his son go pick up our luggage from our hotel so that we would have more time to do the activities around Iguaçu Falls and still get to the airport on time When I come back the next time with the rest of my family, I’m going to reach out directly to Sidnei. He’s the best!
Sidnei was a great and knowledgeable guide on both sides of Iguazu Falls. We enjoyed a beautiful day.
Sidnei was great. He showed up at our hotel on time and was great providing information on the falls. As a guide, he was able to make getting into and out of Argentina smooth without any issues. He allowed us to take our time and wasn't rushed. He was reasonably priced and we would definitely recommend him for touring the falls and would book him for other trips around Foz do Iguacu.
The experience itself is one of a kind. We had never seen anything like Iguazu Falls. We got to see both the Brazil and Argentine side of the falls and also did the boat trip. Sidnei was an incredible guide. He has a ton of knowledge about the whole Iguazu ecosystem and made traveling very easy. He kept us ahead of the crowds and gave us options while making great suggestions along the way.
