Exceeded expectations - We did the panoramic, but I recommend the special (which goes denyto of Itaipu and also does the panoramic circuit). It's impressive and worth every penny.

Sensational Itaipu - It is the second most fascinating attraction in Foz, second only to the Falls, they are always friendly, polite, priority for disabled and elderly people works and the Itaipu Iluminada tour is incredible, it is always worth it, it was my second visit with my mother and kids and they loved it, the musical show that precedes it is anthology. Looking at Itaipu as an engineering work is brilliant, not only technically but also in terms of the logistics of the place, first world!

Very good experience. - Great tour, the driver was very friendly and sharing a lot of cool details and open for any questions. He let me do the tour at my own pace, which is always good. I extremely recommend it. The dam is amazing and great place to visit.

3 country point - Definitely worth it, beautiful surroundings and a 5 minute walk is also a large Ferris wheel. Entrance costs 48 BR and the park itself is not that big but the view is grand. Food and drinks very affordable.

Very Expensive Transfer - The place is great to visit, but the price charged by Viator is very high for what is essentially a transfer from your hotel to the place and back. Once there, you pay an entry fee (definitely worth going for the more expensive internal tour, especially if you are interested in engineering). All of the time at the site is managed by the Itaipu Dam staff. Get a taxi there and save a lot!!

AVOID AT ALL COSTS - This is not a tour but a taxi ride to the dam, where you have to pay for the entrance and tour when you get there. There was no sightseeing because all the driver did was picked us up from hotel and took to the dam. Do not get trapped in this scam.

Disappointment, tour takes tourist - They charge R$154 for a panoramic tour on the bus, with a stop of 15 minutes each in 2 different viewpoints, after knowing the first viewpoints we have to go back to the buses and wait for release until the next viewpoints (we stayed longer on the bus than in the contemplation). The construction is pharaonic, but the view is not there these things, my feeling was of waste of time and money, so if n want to waste money and time in this beautiful place that is Iguaçu, avoid this tour. If you still want to make the ride, go on account and buy the ticket there, you will leave much cheaper and more comfortable going by Uber.
