Although our tour guide did their best to translate, most of the time they were speaking in Spanish or Portuguese, so it was hard to understand as an English speaker. Also, the location we went to for the Three Points was not open with much to do or see. I probably would not recommend this trip.

Itinerary
Speak about Iguassu history and do not talk about Brasil Avenue Street is not possible.
The mosque was inaugurated on March 23, 1983, with white as a uniform hue, its architecture inspired by the second largest sacred center of Islam, the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem.
The Buddhist Temple is a place that keeps alive the oriental culture of Foz do Iguaçu. With over 120 statues in an outdoor space, the Temple is a place that transmits peace, coupled with a unique beauty: views of Brazil's border with Paraguay and a garden where the Buddhas welcome tourists with good energy. The Shrine, the sculptures and the harmonious open-air temple park convey a lot of peace and balance, inviting us to meditate. It is a true tour of the East without leaving Foz do Iguaçu.
TThe Barrageiro Market is one of the most traditional spots in Foz do Iguaçu. It emerged during the construction of the Itaipu Dam and became a cultural hub, local trade center, and gathering place for the community. There, fresh produce, regional foods, and the memory of the dam workers remain alive. It’s a significant part of Foz’s history

Comfortable bus. It goes to all the places you need to know there or pass by. The crew is very pleasant and knowledgeable
We booked this tour online and received a confirmation email that was not particularly clear about the meeting time. Unlike our experience with other tour operators in Foz do Iguacu which contacted us the day before the tour, the tour operators provided no further information. It was only with the help of our hotel receptionist that we learnt of the meeting time. The official guide that accompanied us in the bus was informative, and it was a good way to see the city. But some of the tour was left to the caretakers of the locations we visited (Buddhist Temple, Mosque). The caretaker of the mosque did not speak a word of English, so as non-Portuguese speakers, we missed out on a good 15 minutes of the tour.
Elmo was the guide and the trip was very good. We went to Agentina for dinner. He gave us tips on what to do and where to buy, accondif to our expectations. I highly recommend this tour.
<p>We were a family of 4 with 2 kids 7 years old. Trip was comfortable for us with ample time to experience each place. We were little concerned about the scheduled drop time as it was cutting close to our time to depart for airport. Bus picked us on time and we made it well within the drop time so overall good experience. Giving it 4 stars as we were expecting to be able to tour the Mosque but were just shown from outside.</p>
If you have more time in Foz and you want to see more than the falls or Itaipú Dam, this is for you. I spent here three weeks volunteering in a hostel so I had a chance to see everything around here. The Foz do Iguacu City Tour takes you on a bus ride to the three most important places around the city - monument at the triple border, a muslim mosque and a Buddhist Temple. There is no rush and you have enough time to see and enjoy all three attractions where the bus takes you. Our guide, I wish I remembered her name, was very nice and fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese and told us a lot about the history of the falls, the city and some fun facts about Alberto Satos Dumot and the hard beginning of the aviation in Foz. If you spend more time in Foz and you actually want to learn something about its history and culture, this is definitely for you. Bring repelent, there are bugs at the Buddhist Temple. The time I visited, the triple border monument was closed, it's under construstion.
We had a blast at foz do iguaçu is a beautiful place, do the macuco safari tour, is totally worth it, bring your go pro and repelent, be careful about the coatis as they still your food; every view is beautiful there! The falls are amazing buuut you have to do both Brasil and Argentina. Bad thing: if you dont ask for your change they will keep it so dont be afraid of asking for your change back.
<p>The tour was ok, however we didnt speak any portuguese and the tour was done in portuguese.</p>
It was a quick, but history filled tour where we received explanations for why buildings existed. Most of the time was spent at the religious sites (the mosque and Buddhist temple-30 mins each?). We also got to see views of the "friendship" circle, where Argentina, Paraguay and, Brazil meet via the Paraná. It was only 2 hours and I was mostly underwhelmed. Iguaçu is a sleepy town with not a lot to partake in outside of the waterfalls (not included).
This company dominates the scene and urgently needs competition. It is very weak, starting with the attendants who have zero training in dealing with people. Lidiane on WhatsApp is rude, ironic, and disappears when you suggest trying to cancel or change a reservation. Besides totally POLLUTING with long messages about trips. They want to embed ten thousand types of tours in you without explaining properly. Another employee who stays at the ibis hotel is also ironic and interrupts you when you are speaking. They schedule tours on top of each other because when they schedule the time it is x, but when they issue the tickets the time becomes earlier because of the transfer (this is not clear beforehand). Another very important criticism: in Puerto Iguazu, they forced us into a store that they claimed was reliable for buying wines, alfajores, etc. The "store" has no sign, does not issue invoices, and when it was time to swipe the card, the guy was looking directly at my entered password. I pretended I forgot the password so that the new payment would get the machine and direct it to me. Seriously? I feel like I bought counterfeit items in this place. They say it's called "the tavern" and it's on Paraguay street almost on Brasil avenue. Positive points: buses and guides are good overall. Punctual. Jessica and Fernando are very good guides. I did the tours around the company by going alone and being afraid of the area, but now I see that it's NOT necessary. You can do everything on your own time, without the rush of scheduled tours and without the aforementioned inconveniences.
Considering I was in the city only with my daughter and without a car, the cost-benefit is very worthwhile. The cararatas are really far from the center. The bus was late and they promptly answered my message in customer service. The return was punctual. They go to several hotels and we can get to know the city. The only part I didn't like was that we didn't use the Falls transport at any time. Everything came through the agency. I would have liked to have contact with the bus from there.
Company with very attentive employees (Karol, Gabi, Letizia) for sale of tours or tickets. Get discounts on buying more tours, I managed to rearrange some tickets due to the condition of the weather. I made private tours..which is just my point of complaint..the private tour is agreed with the agents and the company normally outsourced the service. When the driver arrives he already has a script ready (I believe the same of the collective ride) that is not the customized and that was discussed with the agent, which ended up impacting some tours. But in general it is a good agency
Loumar delivered everything he promised us. I traveled with my daughter. The staff is punctual, organized and very friendly. The tours were wonderful on comfortable buses and the staff was always available to guide us. I also bought tickets and accommodation with them. Everything went within what was planned. When we return to Foz do Iguaçu, we will go again with Loumar! Thank you all! Arthur Orfanaki who guided us with the travel package, Camila and Jade who guided us at the Loumar desk (yes, they have a desk in the hotel) and the support team. Thank you!!!
I did the tour by Loumar tourism. During the city tour there is a guide at all times, telling about curiosities and showing the main points of interest. The guide of the day was very friendly and with a good oratory. The tour makes stops in some places, such as the mosque and Buddhist temple, where there are many statues a shop, there is no guided tour there. What I liked most was the mosque, women should wear a typical clothing, as there are some clothing restrictions according to their culture (men if I remember well are optional). There is a guided tour by the employees themselves, where they explain about the culture and remove the doubts, if you have doubts they are very kind to answer you. I liked it quite because you had a pretty big shock of what I thought with reality, I recommend. On the outside there is a snack bar with some delicious things, I recommend picking up something to try (but it is a tourist spot, so the values can be a little more "salted"). In the end, I hired a transfer to the mark of the three borders, which uses the city tour bus itself, so it doesn't even leave the place. I strongly recommend doing the same.
We made the City Tour, Buddhist Temple, Mosque (including street tour of places with crafts, sweets, cafes and Arab salts), ending with the Three Frontiers Framework, thematic space honoring the three countries, with concerts, restaurants, all very organized. The tour was more or less from 15:30 to 20:00. The service of the staff of Loumar is excellent, from the Cover who stays in the Hotel selling tours to the drivers and Guides.
Great tour, with the great guide Elmo. Lots of information, fun and culture on a trip that is well worth it.
We used the services of Loumar in 2019, I, my wife and relatives (total, 7 people), package from the transfer, use of the Van for displacement at will (Service paid separately), visit to the three marks, Italian night (particularly) in the hotel Bella Vista. It was a total success, which motivated a new visit with more relatives in 2020. And they're on programs with other family students for the third year.
Foz do Iguaçu has more to know besides the Falls, shopping at the PY and a visit to Itaipu. On this tour we get to know through the guide Elmo, the history of the city, the Itaipu, the richest Muslim culture, Buddhism and other curiosities. Super worth it.
A bus with panoramic views and a nice guide. Tell the story of Foz in a well-humored way. And visit very cool places.
Excellent service, from the purchase of the tours to the guides, all very experienced and prepared, leave no doubts and know a lot about the history of the city. Super recommend!!!
Great service by Loumar, first of all by Giovani who helped us to plan our week in a very productive and productive way. We liked the means of transport, the advice of guides and drivers, especially Izabel and the driver who accompanied her, a lot of knowledge about the customs, history and places we visited. Excellent.
I completed the tour of the city, visiting the Marco das Tres Fronteras, Mosque and Buddhist Temple with the presence of a guide that demonstrated that Foz was keen on tourism!
Considered one of the best receptive tourism operators of Foz do Iguaçu, it has a great structure. There are about 19 service points, of which 17 are in the main hotels in the city. The service is great and the punctuality excellent. We recommend using your services.
We made two tours with the city tour, the Buddhist time is very beautiful, very inspiring place, the mosque is cool, but there is not much to see, when we entered we stayed very little time, the cool even in the mosque is the candy shop in front, we picked up several different candy at an affordable price...
We learned a lot, were wonderful, and look I ended up being a little late and still were waiting for me a little. Wonderful people and great tips.
Two visits to evaluate here. Mosque: We had to pay R$5,00 to put a white skirt and a scarf on the head and we found this fee absurd. Tip: Go in long pants or underneath your knees, choose a cool cloth to be able to take photos. The visit was 6 minutes; two to get dressed, two to take off the dresses and two to come in and take a look. If you're curious, it's even worth it. Who has ever been to Turkey, it is not worth not. The guide told us that we would have a Cover to explain about the culture but was entertained with another Cover and with that we ended up giving up waiting. Buddhist temple. Very interesting. It's worth visiting.
Excellent guide (Andre) and driver (Gilmar), with a lot of affection and attention with the tourists. May they continue like this. Congratulations.
Real panoramic bus, guides speaking three languages and telling everything about the city. Unforgettable tour.
We did the City Tour Foz. We thought it was some circular buses, but we didn't. It is a tour that visits 3 points. We were a little disappointed to have stayed short in the Buddhist Temple. That place is beautiful, with several places to take photos. The time they gave did not give to see everything. In return, the mosque that has not much to look at, we stayed for a while! The Three Frontiers Framework was worth it.
The City Tour is an essential tour for those who visit the city. It is very interesting, the guide Ana Maria was very accurate in the information and quite friendly. Since I was in a pantacourt pants I was forbidden to enter the mosque, but the city tour staff themselves borrowed me a skirt and I was able to enter. It was very cool.
It's worth it. For about 70 reais, today 18 dollars, and 2 hours. Visit the Buddhist Temple, the Arab Mosque and the beautiful Mark of the Three Borders, with cult guides.
I did the city tour of Foz do Iguaçu, which is worth knowing the city, and the city tour of Puerto Iguazu at night, which was sensational! The guide Elmo is a good guy, quite enjoy the tour and knows a lot about the history of the cities, with good cultural enrichment. In addition, he gave several tips on the way, in addition to even taking good photos of Por do Sol to prison! I highly recommend!
Comfortable bus with good quality Wi-Fi. Excellent Guides, who know everything about Foz and the local stories and are extremely cordial and polite!
I passed the mosque, Buddhist temple and the mark of the three borders. Incredible and complete tour, you end up learning a bit about the city. Worth the price for the walk
They are very responsible and cordial, with organization and clarity in the explanations made on the city tour. I would recommend whoever needs. Thanks for your attention!!!!
We made the tour to Puerto Iguazu with stops at La aripuca and the Marco of the three borders Argentine side. The guide very friendly, organized and with a great knowledge about the locations and their stories. Paseo is worth very much for those who want to know about foz and Puerto Iguazu.
It was all perfect. The guide Elmo and the Christian driver were note 10. super comfortable onibus and attractive price
I thought it was worth it, as it would take time to get the points on a regular bus (there are people who do). The guide was great and gave quite interesting information about the construction of the city due to the Itaipu Plant. The day was beautiful so it was very beautiful to see the exterior sculptures of the Buddhist temple. The mosque was closed (it was Saturday afternoon and holiday), but we used to eat in the Arab candy shop in front. We went to the Marco de las 3 Fronteras (the ticket must be paid in part) and it is interesting to see it during the day (but it is more beautiful at night).
Wonderful experience. It starts late in the afternoon and ends the night in Puerto Iguazu no Rest. Maitena, where you eat an excellent chorizo steak with a craft beer of the best quality. But none of this would be so good without our guide Elmo, along with mot. John. Elmo has a native charisma of an experienced guide despite being new, has a joy, spontaneity, sincerity in giving any information and best of all is not that boring and mercenary guide that only takes us to shopping where they earn that commission of practice. Perfect and congratulations to Loumar for having a guide of this pattern in your picture.
A very pleasant experience for those who want facility to go to the Argentine side, the Enterprise has very attentive guides, our was Elmo and the driver João, the customs was quiet, because it was not a holiday, neither fds, 17min, and we departed, the guide Elmo, made the tour quite interesting, with lots of information, both from the points visited, as well as from other attractions, from Foz, was very worth the investment, ah we ate well in Restaurant Te Amare Maitena, in Puerto Iguazu.
Nice new bus. We made the tour on 9 people on the bus, of which 2 lived in Foz, 3 in the vicinity. R$ 75,00 per Cover for these 3 stops. At no time was spoken of the economy, population, history, relevance geography of the city and the region. Passeio leaves at 14h and would return at 17h/17h15 (thus I was sold), however at 16h30min we had already returned to the point of departure. Guia had knowledge about the 3 sights we stopped to visit. I found the ride expensive for what we were offered, but it was worth it because the 3 locations are far from the city centre and taxi we would spend more and we would not have the Guide Service... These buses do two other routes that do not leave on Sunday, which is why I did not, one for Argentina (I like to walk in La Aripuca) and another for Paraguay (with 4 cultural and nature stops). Finally, since the route is relatively new (less than a year), I believe it can be more complete, including talking about the wonderful other tourist points that the city offers, so that tourism is explored (and not the tourist). When I bought the tour, the girl told me that from Bermuda I could not enter the mosque and that I should buy a long skirt in the trade or rent there in the mosque itself and I asked: will the mosque be open Saturday afternoon?, which I got a positive response. DETAIL: Mosque does not open on Saturdays in the afternoon. I'm glad I didn't buy such clothes... and I didn't even get stressed because I had already entered the mosque. Constructive criticism!!!
Very good, the tour is very well done and very complete! The guide André gave a culture show, told us many stories about Foz, congratulations.. And the driver Gilmar was very attentive and friendly!! The time given at each stop was enough to know.
We did the citytour in Argentina and we really liked the tour. The guide Elmo was very attentive, explained very well about the 3 cities, expedited our entry into Argentina and gave many tips about tours and shopping. I recommend taking the tour because doing alone you will not have access to much information about the history and curiosities about the city. The bus is very comfortable and has mineral water for everyone.
The City Tour is wonderful. The guide André talks with property about the sights. The time available at each stop is enough to know the places visited.
The tour guides are very friendly, well informed and talk a lot about the city of foz, but I would not recommend the city tour in foz to anyone... I did it only because it was cheaper to visit the mark of the three frontier with them, in a couple, than with a private taxi driver. Details, we bought the ticket by ticketloko, which came out much cheaper than the normal price. What I didn’t like were the parades, one in the Islamic mosque and one in the Buddhist temple. It's not the type of tour that short to do, but the guides left enough time in each place. In the mosque, they even gave skirt to women who were in very short clothes, I found it pretty cool on their part. But again, the only point I was interested in was the mark. Congratulations to the team.
This tour is mandatory to meet Foz. It is possible to learn history, culture and religion in a fun way even for young children. The tour covers the city itself, in addition to the Buddhist temple, mosque and Mark of the Three Borders (paid access). It is possible to associate with other tours such as the Iguassu River (we did to the end, in the late afternoon). The guide Elmo is beast! Tips: In summer, hydrate yourself enough. The rain does not get to compromise the ride, but given that the bus is open, consider rain covers.
I did the city tour. I liked the history of the city and the sights provided by the Elmo guide much more than the places visited themselves. We went to the Mosque, Temple and Mark of the Three Borders. I find it nice to go to the City to get to know the history of Foz, this was my fourth visit to the city, but I had not made this tour yet. Regarding the guide and the Enterprise, very attentive and helpful.
Very nice the tour, very attentive guide and with the correct information. The only problem is that we could not visit the interior of the mosque because it did not open on the weekend.There should be this information on the site and different values, because I chose the tour mainly for visiting the mosque that did not have.
For those who are going to Foz do Iguaçu do not fail to hire the Service of city tour with is Enterprise, which offers three types of city tour through the city, are they, City Tour Foz do Iguaçu, in which one visits the main points of the city with the Buddhist temple, the Muslim mosque, shop of Arab candy, landmarks from the three borders, already the City Tour Paraguay takes the tourists there explore the neighboring country, and also has the City Tour of Argentina, in which there is the option of a complete tour with show of tango and casino, or a more basic that goes to a place where wood structures are displayed, and is also offered a dinner and then a tasting of embedded and a sweet in famous Argentina the Alfajor. Of course this Enterprise offers the best guides to show some of Foz do Iguaçu to the tourists who are there. And I had the opportunity to pick up the same guide on the two times I used the Enterprise tour, the guide in question was Elmo, with a wide knowledge and super friendly and willing to clarify all doubts of tourists.
We hired the City Tour through Ticket Loko and was the best choice, in addition to the excellent promotion, we could count on the accompaniment of the tour guide Elmo and the driver João. Elmo, in addition to being very funny and charismatic, is a human encyclopedia, knows about the whole story, both from Foz and from Argentina/Paraguay, he also gives many shopping tips in Paraguay, which helped us a lot. The driver João is extremely cautious and attentive at the wheel, unlike some other drivers we had contact with. This couple is perfect! I highly recommend this tour of Argentina, we visited La Aripuca and Puerto Iguazu. La Aripuca is a whole park made of wood, there we enjoy a delicious grass mate ice cream and one of hibiscus, I recommend. In Puerto Iguazu we enjoy an excellent dinner and we buy milk candy and alfajores. Follow the tips of Elmo that is success!!!!
