It was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. My guide was very kind and explained things well, and the view of the waterfall was truly indescribable. My only regret is that I want to go again. I highly recommend our guide.

Itinerary
Day 1
1
Live a complete immersion in the Iguacu Falls – Argentine side! We left the hotel at the agreed time, preferably at 7:30, towards Iguacu National Park, the Argentine side. At the entrance, we embark on a beautiful and quiet eco-friendly train, which takes us to the beginning of the trail to the imposing Devil’s Gorge – one of the most spectacular viewpoints of the tour, where the force of nature impresses in all directions. Then we head to two incredible circuits: the Upper Circuit, with panoramic views from the top of the falls, and the Lower Circuit, where we explore surprising angles from the base of the waterfalls. A spectacle of water, forest and wildlife at every step! In total, it is about 8 km walk, with plenty of time to contemplate the rich fauna and flora of the Atlantic forest, and with luck We can observe tucans, butterflies and quatis and feel the pure energy of this unique place.
Day 2
2
Explore the Brazilian side of the Iguacu Falls with comfort, exclusivity and excitement! In this private tour, we leave your hotel at the time you prefer. When you arrive at the park, no queues or waiting: with our licensed vehicle, we enter a VIP area directly to the start of the track, ensuring fast logistics and much more time to live this natural wonder. The about 1,500-meter walk reveals a stunning panoramic view of the more than 275 falls. Every step, the landscape changes and surprises, until we reach the high point of the walk: the viewpoint to the Devil’s Gorge, where the shocking sound of the waters and the refreshing steam create a magical and unforgettable feeling. After the trail, you can (optional) have lunch at the Porto Canoas restaurant, with a spectacular view of the waterfalls. And in the afternoon, for those looking for even more excitement, there is the possibility to take the famous boat ride to the incredible waterfalls – get ready to get wet and get excited!

Iguazu falls are a stunning natural wonder. Even though it was raining both days, and one of the circuits was closed while we were there, it still remains very well worth the journey. The opportunity to see the falls from both sides is a rich experience and one not to be missed
Nelton is super communicative, helpful, and understanding of special circumstances and requests. Highly recommend!
We decided to do two days at Iguazu Falls on a Brazilian trip, one on the Argentinian side and one in Brazil. Both were incredible. The first gave us some incredible views from the two different trails, with lunch in between. The second allowed us to get much closer to the falls (tip: take a poncho) both on foot, and then in a boat which took us literally underneath once of the waterfalls (tip: take a towel and change of clothes). Whilst we could have done this on our own, having a guide gave us a much richer experience, as well as the added advantage of taking much less time in queues, accessing the parks etc. Our Guide was Douglas and he was superb. Not sure if you can choose your guide, but if you can you should ask for Douglas.
We had an amazing time! So glad we selected the private tour as well as two days. Nelson was outstanding - going above and beyond for us. We spent out first day on the Argentina side and were able to hike all the main trails. Day 2 was the Brazil side which I expected to be shorter but somehow we filled it up! Everything was outstanding, Nelson was wonderful, the area breathtaking - a for sure trip! Side note - it turns out we picked a nice time of year to visit (late May/early June) - more comfortable temperatures and crowds were manageable.
We had a fabulous 2 days seeing Iguazu Falls. I highly recommend booking with Nelton Linden. He was very responsive by text and answered all my questions. Most importantly, he arranged for Douglas as our guide. Douglas is an excellent guide- he was knowledgeable, courteous, organized with all the pickups, drop offs, tickets and we were always at the right place and time to get on the next train, tram, boat. He was patient when we took so many pictures and, somehow, I think he arranged for us to have a sunny day with a perfect rainbow just as we got to a beautiful waterfall (weather.com predicted rain and clouds). This was the best and easiest way to see amazing sights in 2 countries with a local guide who handled every detail. I would rate this >5 stars if I could.
Iguazu Falls are the most beautiful waterfalls I have ever seen. Felipe was a great guide. Very knowledgeable, and was very considerate. Along with visiting both the Argentina side and the Brazil side, we opted to take the boat ride that takes you under one of the falls. I highly recommend the two day tour, and adding in the boat ride. I would definitely request Felipe as our guide if we return.
This 2‑day Iguazu Falls tour was the highlight of our travels. Visiting both the Argentina and Brazil sides gave us incredible views, and our guide Douglas made the experience outstanding. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and full of insider tips about local culture, history, food, and the best places to shop for souvenirs. Douglas’s guidance made the trip smooth, fun, and truly memorable. If you’re booking Iguazu Falls tours on Viator, we highly recommend Douglas — he turned a great trip into an extraordinary one.
This was a great way to experience Iguazu Falls. It took all the stress out of the logistics and our guide Felipe added all kinds of stories and information to our days. If you only have one day, maybe it makes sense to do both parks in one day, but spreading it out over two days was much nicer. We went to the Brazilian side the first day and added the boat trip; it was a perfect first day. The second day was the Argentine side, which is a lot more walking, but gets you closer to the falls. We had lunch at the restaurant in the park, and while it was fine, it was too expensive for what it was, and I’d probably eat somewhere outside the park if I did it again. Felipe was with us each day, and helped coordinate buying tickets, the lines, and the itinerary to maximize our time and minimize the crowds. We highly recommend him.
We spent two very full days touring both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides of the Iguazu park and Falls. Our wonderful tour guide, Everton was caring, patient and very informative. He looked after all the details of our tour. His company coordinator and boss Nelson was easy to contact and made all the arrangements to get from the airport to our hotel, the tours and back to the airport. We would both recommend and if ever there again use this company. Thank you for a great trip.
Douglas was a joy to have as a guide. He was professional, went above and beyond to ensure my time at Iguazu Falls was an experience I will never forget and will treasure. He is knowledgeable, polite, flexible, and extremely helpful!
Douglas was a terrific guide that provided not only transportation & information but connected with us in a professional yet fun & caring way. He helped us with some physical problems as my friend was stung by a bee & he helped me with navigating with an injured ankle. Very kind & thoughtful! Thank you Douglas for helping us with our two days of amazing service & details! Great job!
We had a wonderful day out with Nelton he was so informative about the falls. Never rushed us and was happy to wait while we did the boat trip under the falls. A really lovely man we had an amazing day with him he could not have done anymore to make our day special. I have wanted to see these falls for years and they exceeded my expectations.
I highly recommend booking this tour with Nelton through Viator. Iguazú is an enormous and breathtaking place, and exploring it with a professional guide makes the experience so much better. We were fortunate to have Pamela Lopez as our guide, and she was absolutely outstanding. Pamela is incredibly knowledgeable about both the Argentine and Brazilian sides of Iguazú. As an official guide, she knew all the best viewpoints and helped us avoid long lines and crowds. She took excellent care of us throughout the tour, ensuring our safety, comfort, and enjoyment at every stop. She was always on time, explained the daily itinerary clearly, and shared fascinating details about every site we visited. Beyond her expertise, she has a wonderful personality that made the experience fun and stress-free. We felt safe and very well taken care of. I strongly recommend doing the two-day tour to fully experience Iguazú — it’s absolutely worth it. Pamela truly exceeded our expectations.
I strongly recommend taking this tour with Nelton’s company through Viator. Visiting a place as vast and spectacular as Iguazú on your own can feel overwhelming, and having a professional guide truly makes all the difference. We were assigned Pamela Lopez, who was the best tour guide we could have asked for. She is extremely knowledgeable about Iguazú from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides, and as an official guide, she knew every spot and how to help us avoid long lines and crowded areas. Pamela took excellent care of us in every way — from safety and logistics to making sure we fully enjoyed each experience. She was punctual when picking us up from our hotel, clearly explained the itinerary for both days, and provided detailed, fascinating information at every site we visited. Beyond her expertise, she has an amazing personality that made the experience even more enjoyable. We felt safe, relaxed, and genuinely happy throughout the tour. I highly recommend staying for two days to fully experience Iguazú. Pamela made sure we explored all the key locations and trails without feeling rushed. She truly exceeded our expectations and is simply the best. Nelton, who organizes the private tours, was also incredibly responsive and attentive to all my questions and needs. Iguazú is a place you will never forget. If you love to travel and experience natural beauty that feels like heaven on earth, this destination is a must. However, I truly believe that having a tour guide is almost essential to fully enjoy it and make the trip unforgettable. Thank you for such an amazing experience!
Nelton is an engaging guide, very amenable and will take the day at your desired pace. Picked us up from the hotel both mornings and dropped us off at the airport after our second day. Each side of the falls and the boat trip give a different feel to this remarkable place well worth it!
Best tour ever. Nothing but praise for this group. They got us to the front of the line for everything. Both the guides were extremely knowledgeable and vey engaging. Throughly enjoyed the falls experience and don’t think you could get a better tour or guides. Thank you for a great two days!
We had an absolute splendid two days with Nelton, our guide. I would definitely recommend the two day option for visiting Iguaza Falls so that you have plenty of time to walk all of the trails, deal with the crowds and get plenty of good photos, and be able to take advantage of the other activities like speedboat rides, etc., during your visit. Also, on the Brazil side of the Falls, having a private guide allows you to skip riding buses as the guide can drive you directly to the walking trail, which was much easier and a lot more relaxed. We also were able to beat the majority of the crowds as we got to the viewing trail on the Brazil side right as the first bus of the morning arrived. Nelton was very professional, spoke fluent English, and obviously was very experienced, as he not only helped us to navigate these absolutely huge parks, but he also made sure that we saw everything and every single “significant” viewpoint. I don’t know how we would have seen everything on both sides of the park (as well as navigate crossing the border so easily) without his help. He also helped us to understand the history of Brazil and Argentina, and the history of the park. We would definitely highly recommend this tour operator and his perfect two day tour itinerary!
We had a nice time. Our guide Chil was good. She knew how to skip the crowds and gave us some good information about the falls. She gave us some good recommendations for restaurants and other things in the area. Our only concern is that the tour is listed as a private person not a company. We thought we would be booking directly with Nelton as he was who was listed on Viator and who we had been communicating with since booking. He never indicated we would have a different guide. We would have appreciated more transparency. Not Chil’s fault.
Hiring a private guide is the way to go. Nelton Linden was amazing. He was early each morning he picked us up and never rushed any part of our days. He stopped things and pointed them out to us - like a toucan out during the day We would definitely recommend this tour
I went with my husband for a day trip to both the Brazil and Argentina side of the Iguazu Falls with Nelton. We coordinated with him to make it happen because our flight arrived around 9am local time and left 8pm same day, and all the tours listed online commenced at 7am instead. He coordinated all drivers, cars, tickets for us and even with a 45 minute delayed flight, we did it all and had some time to spare. We explained in a whatsapp call prior booking that we are young, active, and determined and he trusted we could follow his lead to make it happen. It was appreciative he took the time to nurture our questions and desires. Nelton was a great communicator before and during the trip to give us faith we'd be taken care of, receive fun facts throughout our journey, and have a blast, which all were true. 100% recommended!
Nelton arranged everything from airport transfer to the tour and crossing the Brazilian border. He let us take our time with everything and it was a very breathaking and seamless tour with beautiful waterfalls. Nelton made sure we didn't have to worry about anything and could focus on the falls; we shared great conversation along the way too. Definitely recommend doing both sides of the fall!
Nelton Linden is absolutely amazing 🤩 Our time in Aguayo was very important to us so we chose our guide very carefully and we were absolutely happy with our choice. Nelton was very accommodating to our specific requirements. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Aguayo area and because of this, he helped us gain an application of this amazing natural wonder. We don't think we could have made a better choice!!! If you are looking for a guide in Aguayo, I doubt you could make a better choice than Nelton Linden You are amazing Nelton, thank you so much!!!
Nelton is a really knowledgeable, friendly guy. Explained everything really well. We always felt we were getting the best attention and seeing the best detail. We were very happy to be guided by him.
Nelton has been a tour guide in Iguasu area for over 20 years. He is a professional guide who has dedicated his life to providing his expertise to the first time visitors like me. He was very punctual and was flexible meet our needs as we flew into Brazilian side airport and flew out of Argentina side airport. He described just about everything you need to know and answered thoughtfully to every questions. Boat ride from the Brazilian side was a blast. And the helicopter ride was an icing on the cake. Argentina side day was a bit longer and more walking than the Brazilian side but you get very close to the Devil's Throat. I wholeheartedly recommend Nelton based on my two days with him.
Iguaçu National Park was one of the best travel I have ever made in my life, guide Pedro great acquaintance with the wildlife of the area
Incredibly beautiful, everything super organized, very friendly guide Lurdes that led us to navigate the best trails
Highly recommended service, nelton from the first contact we helped a lot in the organization of the tour, guide Diego was also super helpful and friendly
Tour in Iguassu was sensational, guide Pedro very young was essential for us to have had a beautiful experience, do not miss the boat ride that gets very wet
I traveled with my daughter and my mother, we were lucky to have an excellent guide as Nelson, a very funny and friendly Cover and with great knowledge, always led us in front of the crowds without us rushing, which made our experience wonderful... Lucky to have him as a guide
Excellent Service and attention, 500% recommended for a memorable and entertaining visit. Nelton knows very well the places and the best times to know the falls both on the Brazilian and Argentine sides, with a lot of kindness and patience to make a personalized tour and at the necessary pace according to the group. I visited with my family, including my mom and aunt, older adults, and my wife and 8-year-old daughter, Nelton accommodated the schedules and places for our comfort and gave us a great family time.
We had booked Nelton, who was unfortunately ill. But he got a replacement: Pamela from Pame Tours. Nelton informed us about everything to do before the tour. Pamela is a very friendly, competent and informative guide who also drives well and safely. She led us past large crowds and was there in the right places for photos. She had great recommendations for local restaurants for lunch! Conclusion: we would both book again!
Guia Mateus helped us a lot to enjoy all the trails in the iguaçu waterfalls and was fantastic in being able to organize the boat ride for our family
We made a beautiful tour of the waterfalls of Brazil and Argentina with the guide Nelton, who was very helpful and friendly. We recommend
Visiting the waterfalls was wonderful , we were lucky to have the guide claiton that facilitated all our navigation through the passages avoiding the crowds , thank you very much also to the driver jairo who had a lot of patience with us
Great service, punctuality and cordiality! Nelton and helpful and well-humored! Indicate as a great suggestion for your trip!
Excursion in the waterfalls of the incredible iguaçu fa, all very well organized by our guide nelton who was very informative and friendly
We were very well served by the Nelton team, we did two days of tours in the two waterfalls. We highly recommend.
We decided to meet the waterfalls of Iguaçu on both sides with a lot of calm, it was amazing, the team is congratulated.
We know the Iguacu waterfalls on the Argentine and Brazilian side. We chose to do the tours of both the waterfalls in two days, one in each. It was wonderful.
A lot to thank the guide nelton and the driver Lucas who gave us all the assistance every moment bass cataract; everything very beautiful
We were amazed with the walk in the waterfalls of Iguaçu, we know from both sides: Brazil and Argentina. We went with a comfortable car and an exclusive guide. It was calm and very profitable.
We had the privilege of having the guide Lucas on the visit to the waterfalls of Iguaçu, everything very well planned, everything surpassed our spectacles
The tour is highly recommended, it exceeded our expectations by far. On the first day (Argentine side) we were accompanied by Douglas, on the second Nelton himself was our guide. We got an infinite amount of information that went far beyond the waterfalls. Nelton led us to a restaurant with a fantastic buffet at the end, which we would never have come up with ourselves, and we sat there for a long time and talked well. All in all two enriching days, thank you both!
Great guide. He sees it as his job to have the best experience possible. Nelton is very knowledgeable about the waterfalls, the history, in short everything. He is incredibly helpful and he is a pleasant person to be with.
Tour was excellent, knowing the Iguassu waterfalls really worth it, very attentive guide accompanied us every moment sharing your knowledge
Wonderful tour, best experience of my life!!! The guide super attentive and patient, was extremely helpful and welcoming.
I have a lot to thank the guide nelton , who took us the Brazilian waterfalls in one day , also the Argentine waterfalls the next day, always had a lot of patience with our family because some members had problems to walk , even so we were able to see the best points in the Argentine side of the waterfalls, in the Brazilian waterfalls nelton organized our walk seeing the best points without walking the stairs , so we saved energy to finish with the best tour of all that was the boat ride that took us to the waterfalls where we got completely wet 😁😁😁😁, thank you very much nelton, we super recommend you
I traveled to Foz do Iguaçu with my family in January, and we were lucky to have the Nelton Guide to guide us through the triple border. We visited the two waterfalls in a single day and it was an amazing full day, Nelton is very prepared, enriched our experience with information and stories about each journey. It's a great guide, I always recommend!!!
We were very well served by our guide Nelton, who provided us with an unforgettable experience in the Iguacu Falls. With patience and knowledge, he showed us incredible details about the history, geology and biodiversity of the region. We recommend😊
