Two trips in one - Great way to visit Manaus and the Amazon River - One guide showed us the Opera House -OMG. the yellow house, driving around the city explaining the history and see the Banana and Fish markets. Then we were handed off to our boat captain and 2nd English speaking guide. Both English speaking guides were wonderful. Our boat captain knew where the animals were and found 3 sloths, a howler monkey and two iguanas. Because it was raining we did not get to see the meeting of the waters, however the young guide encouraged us to put our hands in the river and we could feel the difference of temperature of the Amazon and Rio Negro rivers and exactly where they met!

Amazing Day - So fascinating. The Opera House was fantastic. The river trip blew our minds. Saw amazing sights, caimans, fillings and monkeys. The pirarucú fish farm was surprising and exciting. It’s hard to get a sense of the scale of the river environments if you don’t get out on it.

Great Introduction to Manaus - This is a wonderful tour to introduce you to the fascinating city of Manaus, the banana market, the opera house, the amazing Negro and Amazon rivers and so much more! The guides were on-time, interesting and were very fluent in English. Lunch was delicious. The boat ride was fun. This is a great tour! So much to see and do. Well worth your time and money!

Boring in the morning, great in the afternoon with boat trip to the Meeting Waters - We've been forgotten. 40 minutes later, I asked why no one was coming. The tour leader said we cancelled the trip, which was not true. Morning tour was very boring although the guide tried hard. I missed the visit to the Opera and others.

Most scary tour of lifetime - We took this on the last day of our stay at Manaus. As per listed Itinerary the tour starts at 8 AM, for 7 hours. Accordingly we were supposed to return by 3 PM. We had a flight at 6 PM from Manaus to Sao Paulo and thought there will be enough time for us to catch the flight on time. After making the booking I got in touch with the tour provider and he replied that we will return in time to take the flight. On the day of the tour we finished the city tour and got into the boat for the river tour. On checking with others in the boat we came to know that the boat would return at 5 PM. When I informed the guide that we needed to return by 3 PM, he said that he can't do anything about it and wd contact the tour provider after arriving at the Lunch place. When contacted the tour provider he started giving different meaning to our WhatsApp chat and bluntly told that he can't do anything about it and we would return only by 5 PM. It was very scary situation for us as we had an International flight to return home the very next day. We thought of hiring a private boat to return and the tour guide helped us in getting one at 250 BRL. We arrived on time to Manaus and transported to our hotel from the Jetty, also dropped to the airport by the Tour provider. Afterwards he immediately changed the tour time to 9 hrs. What was upsetting for us that we were left to fend for ourselves on a foreign land, that to in the middle of a river. The tour provider could have arranged our return and asked us to pay for it. A few bucks extra doesn't hurt, but the way he refused to take any responsibility was very hard for us. It left a very bitter taste about Manaus, which otherwise we loved.
