10/10 MUST DO - We had the most amazing trip! The guides were amazing and so informative. There was so many activities included more than what was listed. Highlight of our trip so far! I would tell everyone to do this excursion.

Variety of experiences - This is a FULL DAY tour and there is no shortage of activities. I believe the tour description guarantees less than the tour offers. There are optional stops for minimal cost which we eagerly embraced. If you enjoy eco-tourism, I highly recommend this tour for you.

AMAZING - AMAZING!!!! Relaxing, fun, exciting!!! All in one package! The guild Rodolpho was perfect!!! He speaks great English and gives you a great experience!! Working with wildlife is never an easy job because the animals in the wild never want to work with you but he gives you the best opportunity possible! We had a great time and ended up doing the half day city tour with him as well!! BOOK THIS TOUR!!

Great experience of the Amazon - The experience was great: swimming with dolphins, piraruku fishing (and it's tasty as well), meeting of waters, the jungle tour and indigenous village.
The guide was helpful to provide the tour in English (in addition to Portuguese)

Best Amazonian tour! - It was wonderful, thank you so much for choosing Francineto as my guide he was amazing, very knowledgeable, attentive and responsible. Felt secure and enjoy the tour very much. For Spanish or English speakers that wants to join this tour, I will suggest Neto as the guide, you will enjoy the tour to the fullest. Now with lunch it was buffet style and one of the best meals I've had in Brazil (been here traveling all over for 5 weeks). Also I chose the tour with transfer to and from my hotel and the taxi driver was excellent! As a tip to travelers, buy souvenirs from the villages, the prices from them to the mercado/city is just a few cents difference and you are helping them a lot!

This is a must do tour in the Amazon - Rodolpho did an excellent job. He took us for a full day Amazon experience. We could not have asked for a nicer and more knowledgeable guide. He adjusted the tour based on our preferences. Everything was flawless and we had an excellent time. Paul the boat driver was also phenomenal. He took us on some less travelled routes and we saw a lot of great stuff. We highly recommend Rodolpho and if we come back will sure give him a call.

Great time with Rodolpho - Rodolpho was fantastic. His attention to detail and knowledge is great. Had him for two days for two full day tours. He delivered on both. You will not be disappointed as he puts in the extra effort to make sure you get a great handle on brazil and the Amazon.
