Private - Iguazu Falls In 1 Day Brazil + Argentina + Boat Option

Nelton was a fantastic guide. We hit all the key sites at the right time to avoid the crowds and he dropped us back at the airport when we finished. Great trip.

Guide was great. Bring something that is waterproof for the boat trip. You will get wet. The boat trip is a must!!!!

The experience was amazing, it exceeded all of our expectations and everything went out smooth and well. Our guide was Pame and she was the best of the best, because of her we did all the activities on time; both sides of the falls, the train trip, the boat trip, she took us to have a delicious lunch and a great coffee. Plus she’s a really funny girl and a delight while she drove us from one place to the other. I totally recommend this experience and would definitely do it again and for sure would as Pame to guide us once more.

Nelton took us to both side in Argentina and Brazil. Amazing, good conversation and very knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommended tour and tour guide.

What a spectacular day straddling two countries to get the absolute best of the Falls. Our guide knew the in and outs so we could have the best experience possible. Nelton is highly recommended for his knowledge, his kindness and his passion for his tourism mission. Spend the few extra dollars for a private guide, I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed!

Douglas was super knowledgeable and very patient with us. We had a great day exploring the Falls! Highly recommended.

Nelson, our guide, was excellent. Extremely knowledgeable and stayed with us the whole time except for the boat tour and when he ran ahead to cool down the car on a very hot day. He made sure we were comfortable with a cooled car and water.

Fabulous day with our guide and driver Douglas. We started on the Argentinian side, and having booked our tickets in advance and with the guidance of Douglas, we were able to enter the park quickly. The pathways are easy walking, and the viewpoints provide great views of the cascades. The border crossing to Brazil was pretty slick and we stopped at restaurant designed to cater for coach loads with a buffet offering, but it defied expectations. Obviously there was meat of every kind, but unexpectedly there was a fabulous selection of vegetables and salad, and even fish. The dessert table with something to satisfy the sweet tooth of anyone. Our guide Douglas is from Ciudad del Este on the Brazilian side of the border, so it was no surprise that he championed that side as providing the better views. As it transpired it fully delivered, where in Argentina we had great views of a few cascades at various locations, on this side we had unrestricted views of the full expanse. We had a 90min wait in the ☀️ to take the optional boat trip, and although it only lasted about 20min it was great fun, bouncing upstream. Having chosen the wet option, in addition to getting to see the falls close up from water level, we also got to enjoy the full cascade shower. The falls are understandably the star attraction, short of seeing a jaguar, but we did see some of the park’s wildlife. There were scores of soaring vultures, lots of Coatis (raccoon like), a variety of beautiful butterflies, reptiles, Brazilian Guinea Pigs, Brocket (small deer) and the pick of the birds a pair of toucans. I’m very glad that we took the tour of both sides and we had a great day with Douglas.

We had a great day with Nelton today. He was great company, full of interesting info about the falls and Brazil, and totally took the stress out of navigating through all tte different components of the trip. The falls are magnificent, and well worth seeing from both sides. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience and the boat ride to the falls was once in a lifetime experience. The tour guide William is one of the best. He took extra care and went above and beyond.

Our guide, Eduardo, was perfect. He took care of us so well and made a lot effort to make our trip as comfortable as possible. He was knowledgeable and took us to shortcuts to save us time. He impressed us for being a young student and working so diligently as the same time. If you book this excursion, Please ask for Eduardo. You will not be disappointed!

Very much worth it! We had only one day to tour the area and Alessandro was a perfect guide - ensuring we saw all the highlights while also making accommodations for our kids who were flagging a bit in the heat. My husband preferred the Argentinean side for getting up close to the falls, I liked the Brazilian side for the majestic views, and the kids loved the boat tour (add on) where you get to go right up to the falls. You will get wet! But Alessandro supplied us with ponchos and phone pouches to help us stay dry. There are plenty of places along the routes to buy drinks and food especially on the Brazilian side. Do note that crossing the border to Argentina can take awhile so plan to have a bit of time waiting on traffic.

Our guide, Pamela, was great. One hundred percent accommodating and interested in her clients’ enjoyment of the tour.

We did a private VIP tour of Iguazu Falls booked directly with the owner, Nelton, who was incredibly responsive and professional from start to finish. His colleague Douglas guided us for the day, and the experience was truly VIP. I had no idea how essential a private guide is if you’re doing both the Brazilian and Argentine sides. You absolutely need one. They manage the timing, navigate the long lines, and handle all the logistics seamlessly. Trying to do this on your own would be frustrating and a huge waste of time. If you’re considering Iguazu, don’t hesitate — book with them. Fabulous experience all around.

We visited both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides. Excellent organization. We were able to explore everything at our leisure

Had a wonderful time with our guide. Nelton he was really knowledgeable, helped us avoid long lines and moved at our pace.

So, we flew early into Puerto Iguazu from Buenos Aires. Our private guide, Douglas Albino picked us up at the airport and for that day and the next, Douglas took us all over to visit the Falls on both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides. He even took care of our border crossing into Brazil and back and on the 2nd and final day, he dropped us off at the Iguazu airport for out flight back to Buenos Aires. Douglas was a marvelous guide. He was very friendly and yet professional. His English is excellent and took care of all our special needs and requests. He adjusted to our pace as we are an active but retired couple. His knowledge of the local area and its fauna and flora is great. We had a lot of good conversations. If you plan to visit the Iguazu Falls, we highly highly recommend that you request Douglas as your private guide, and make sure to visit both sides of the Falls. On the Brazil side, Douglas was able to get the 2 of us on a boat just by ourselves, with him and the 2 boat operators to near the bottom of the Falls. We saw the Falls from all vantage points, at the bottom and literally on top of the Falls, near and afar. We did a lot of hiking, too, but the trails were easy and safe. All in all, a great adventure, made unforgettable by a very knowledgeable, friendly but professional private guide, Douglas Albino. Two thumbs up!!!

Pame was a great guide very informative about the falls and it's local legends! She was friendly and very helpful with tickets. As the tour title suggests it was a private tour and we had her all to ourselves. The falls were amazing

Our guide, Douglas, was fabulous. Great english, sense of humor, interesting conversation during car travel and waiting in Border Crossing line (Argentina-Brazil). Douglas adjusted well to our private group's fast pace and ensured our viewing of the spectacular Iguazu Falls was the best once-in-a-lifetime experience for us. I highly recommend doing BOTH Argentina and Brazil side of Falls as well as booking a separate Boat ride on the river for a proper dousing underneath the Falls. You will see the Falls from the top, middle, and bottom from all amazing vantage points.

The guide was excellent very helpful in aa way did all the tramites of the border and very knowlegable

Fantastic tour. Covered the highlights from both sides in one day and still allowed for flexibility in the exact plans. We could not have done it without this tour.

Alles so wie erhofft...ein rund-um -sorglos-Paket. Douglas organized all very well and we had a very chilled day. We recommend to the Rest of the world!

Great Private Trip. Nelton is very knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. He adapted the tour to my pace and showed flexibility. Highly recommended.

We had our private tour of the Falls, both from Argentina and Brazil sides, with Nilton Linden. He is a great tour and an excellent person who took care of every little thing and provided the best tour possible, covering the falls from every angle possible. We recommend Nelton with any reservations.

Lot of hiking bring a hat or umbrella if summer sun. Worth it all, beautiful views. Guides are clear and organized.

Had a great time and experience. Be ready to walk. First couple trails flat but little long. Brazil side trail had lots of steps but ended at elevator to ease return. Guide was great and appreciated when got to last border crossing having us walk across and different driver take us to our hotel. Staying with original driver would have taken an extra hour or two. highly recommend won’t post pics of falls but of couple animals we saw.

Nelton picked us up at our hotel and took us to both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides of Iguazú falls. Prior to the day he made contact to prepare and ensure the day was as smooth as possible. Nelton was friendly and informative and made the trip incredibly smooth and interesting. Nelton also arranged for us that day a tour to the Monday Falls in Paraguay the next day with a guide called Enrique. This was another excellent half day tour that you just don’t see in the official tours. Thank you Nelton for making our visit so great.

We had an excellent guide, Neide. She was on time, knew when toke time and when to move quickly. We managed to see everything we wanted, on both sides. We missed the Boat trip because we of rainy weather and we decided against it. All in all we had a fabulous time and can recommend this operater and guide, Neide, wholeheartedly.

Nelton was brilliant. We unfortunately happened to book our tour on a day that Brazil lets all the locals go for free but Nelton managed to arrange our tour in a way that meant we avoided all the queues and crowds. The waterfalls were incredible and it was great getting insights on local history/culture etc from Nelton.

Nelson was incredible, friendly, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. My best friend and I took this trip to explore Brazil for the first time and I am so happy we chose to see Iguazu Falls and that we had Nelson for our guide. We saw both the Argentina and Brazilian side, he helped navigate the border crossing, helped us get into the park before the tourist crowds and was able to share about the history of the falls, the flora and fauna. 10/10 recommend this tour!

We had a great experience with Nelton and seeing both sides of the falls! Nelton was very knowledgeable, prompt, friendly and took care of all the planning. Would definitely use him again! The falls were spectacular and must see in person.

This was a great tour. Mateus picked us up at our hotel which was inside the park (Brazil side). Not all tours will do this. We had already walked nr the falls nr our hotel so he took us to Argentinian side and we did this early so to avoid the extreme heat. We decided to do the boat and we were pleased to know that there was a dry option. Our group of four were the only ppl on the boat! Amazing waterfalls...and this tour delivers on seeing the falls from all vantage points. Highly recommend.

Great day vising both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides of Iguazu falls and a boat ride up into the falls. Falls are excellent; Nelton (our guide) is a bit of a character and was great. Did everything promised on time/as planned; helped expedite a number of issues (mostly around avoiding lines!). We were really happy we booked with him.

My husband and I (in our 70’s) were treated in a very caring way by Douglas who tailored our visit to both sides of the falls. He looked after us in every way - skipping lines and dropping us close to ticket booths even arranging a buggy to take us back to our hotel. Totally recommend ❤️

What an amazing place and tour. Our guide Douglas was so professional, knowledgeable and personable. His planning and pace made our tour a totally enjoyable and informative experience. From original booking through to the completion of the tour was completely seamless. Our day was further enhanced by the quality, comfort and cleanliness of his vehicle . To get the most out of a visit to Igaucu we would highly recommend this tour.

This tour was great! Pamé and her associate looked after us incredibly well. Always eager to help, take photos, avoid long lines, take us to the best spots. They were terrific!

Our guide was so helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Went out of his way to give us a memorable experience.

Great tour with Chill. Everything was perfect, Chill made everything run smoothly - we didn’t have to worry about the border crossings - which was great with a tour guide since you have a separate fast line. Also what was golden was not having to wait in the massive lines for the buses in the Brazilian side of the Iguazú falls, since going with a guide the park allowed her to use her own car to drive us around. The boat tour is a must!!!!! A fantastic way to end the tour.

Nelton is an amazing guide! And we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. He's super organised, punctual and knowledgeable. We started early (7:20) on the Brazil side. Stopped at the border in Brazil to exit and the at the border in Argentina to enter. We were at the park just as it opened and took the first train up to the Devil's throat. From there we went on the big circuit. After finishing the Argentina side, we drove back to Brazil, stopped at a shop for some quick snacks, went through immigration and entered the Brazil side of the park. In Iguaçu it's not only about the falls, it's also about the animals and Nelton knows a lot about them too. He pointed out quite a few to us. We were done with the tour around 18:00. The car was super comfortable. We had one more day in Iguaçu, and he gave us a lot of great recommendations and even offered to drive us around and then drop us off at the airport. We went to see the Itaipu dam and the bird park. Both worth a visit 👍.

Wonderful!!! Davide, our guide, is very professional and patient; he helped us a lot. We had an issue with canceled flights, and he stayed with us. He knows a lot and knows how to organize things to make the most of our time! We loved it! Also from the beginning with the organizer it was perfect, he was always assisting me.

The perfect private tour, it is worth investing in this. With our guide Willian, we had the opportunity to be among the first on the way to the Garganta del Diablo. He was able to tell us a lot about the fauna, land, and people. It is worth booking this tour for visiting the Iguazù waterfalls. Perfect logistics, guide, and organization. It is also highly recommended to visit both sides, Argentina and Brazil.

Nelton guide very good, professional, knowledgeable, attentive, punctual, available to answer concerns. The visit to the Brazilian side of the Falls very good experience. On the other hand, the visit to the Argentine side was very wearying physically, when performing on foot the Superior Circuit, which no greater stage experience. On the Brazilian side it is only justified to make the excursion to the Devil’s Throat, going to that point on the Park train. inconvenience of the Argentine sector park: bad service of payment equipment with cards (the same happened to me in Perito Moreno Glacier National Park of El Calafate). It shows mismanagement of Argentine Park Authority.

What a lucky thing we booked this private tour. Our guide Roberto was just great. We could never have experienced it in such a short time without him. Not only did he know the best trails and viewpoints. We were always in the right place at the best time. We learned extremely much about the country and people and were able to ask 1000 questions. Great also the organization. While others had to wait forever at the border or at the park entrance, we were always on the road as VIPs. This saved extremely nerves and also time. So the tour is more than recommended. Ten stars are still too few.

The guide/chauffeur is a love! But I do not recommend taking this excursion for Argentine residents. It is very expensive and you are only taking transfers and guide by cataract from the Argentine side. Tickets are paid separately. I recommend coordinating with the hotel and doing it with taxis.

Better experience in tourism, great accompaniment, we were very well served, in the next times I will go again!!!!

Excellent day! The Nelton guide is fantastic, familiar with all the trails and attractions in the waterfalls of Iguaçu, both on the Brazilian side and on the Argentine side! Pretty quiet walk in a unique landscape!

We had a wonderful experience, we visited the Iguacu waterfalls on both sides. We recommend the walk. It was peaceful to go through the customs in Argentina.

Thank you guide Nelton Linden incredible tour, me and my family loved, super recommend let's repeat soon.topppp

They contacted us often right after booking and came up with plans for private tours together. Even though it was a hard schedule, they listened to our wishes and it was perfect planning. I was able to turn around with a guide who smiled wonderfully while listening to Iguaçu's commentary, and it was a lifetime memory.
