Get everything and then some - This was a great tour, meeting on time in the terminal. I think the guide could have given a little more information when we were going to the pink dolphins. Turns out we only had about 15 minutes. Not enough time to change clothes and really enjoy them. But as it turned out for the rest of the tour we were always one step ahead of the bigger tours from the ship. The food for lunch was outstanding. The place was prepared, food was hot and mighty tasty. Especially the fried fish. The best I have had on this 2 1/2 month cruise so far. Right length of time and the price was very affordable.

Visit the real Amazon river - Seeing the many different birds in their natural habitat was wonderful. The captain was very well trained and resourceful. Our guide was knowledgeable and very helpful.

Use Amazon Amazing Tours!!! - Our guide, Islo, as well as our charming boat driver took us to view, and actually touch the two distinctly different waters! We toured the Manaus Habor, then ventured over to Lake January, sighting several beautiful birds along the way. We stopped for a delicious lunch at a floating restaurant, and then shopped at a local store. After another lovely boat ride along the Amazon, our guides took us directly back to our cruise ship. From the very beginning, this tour was easy to book and the communication was constant and reliable! I highly recommend Amazon Amazing Tours!

Lunch at a floating restaurant - Excellent lunch and even better Caipirinhas the best we had on the Brazilian trip. While the restaurant was crowded due to many boats arriving there was a good choice of buffet lunch and superb selection of fruits. In fact we never consumed better pineapple than at this restaurant. Full marks.

Very nice trip, not just iconic but potentially fullfiling as well. - My focus was mostly meeting people and getting to know a little bit of their stories. This is a good trip for that. I loved the maneuvering displayed by our boat staff when another parked boat drifted too close to ours. I loved to watch the demeanor of the indigenous people we visited during their presentation. I enjoyed getting to know another lone traveler willing to endure my broken Portuguese and share some of his stories with me. I also need to mention on the side that food at lunch was very good.

Not a good value - The trip advertisement does not represent the actual trip facts. The double decker Amazon traditional boat is not the one used (used to be and was much better). Today the tour is done on a low to the water jet propulsion boat for speed. It's bouncy, sometimes wet, and everyone has to stay sitting down at all times. Seats are tight and uncomfortable. Meeting of the waters looses it's appeal due to being so low to the water and makes for poor quality photographs. The double decker amazon boat was way better. Allowed for walking around, great photography and had a bar to serve water and assorted drinks. Slower but you got to see the river in much better detail instead of zipping from one point to another. There used to be an eco smaller boat tour at the floating restaurant stop where you would get into smaller boats and get a wonderful cruise through the jungle and with explanations of trees and animals. This no longer happens and you're left to figure everything out for yourself. You have to do the walk to the giant Lilly pads on your own and again no one explaining what you're looking at. This stop also has turned into one big FB selfie area forcing everyone to have to wait to take pictures of the surrounding nature. Suggest looking elsewhere for a slower paced and more informative tour.
