Personal and knowledgeable - We did not realize that we had scheduled our 1/2 day tour of Manaus on a holiday, so Rudolpho contacted us to adjust our beginning time so that we could visit public sites before they closed for the day. We toured the Teatro and several important buildings before stopping in the open air market. Car was cool and Rudolpho handled all entry fees as well as provided fresh bottles of water. At the end of the tour Rudolpho provided very helpful suggestions on what we might want to do next.

Great experience. - Rodolpho did a great job with the historical aspects and history of Manaus
He was prompt polite and his English is great. My only complaint is that I had to pay for two people in order to get this tour. It was private and very enjoyable.

Beautiful Hike - The weather was hot but the hike was worth it. We saw many waterfalls and a large cave. Our guide, Henry, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the park and the sights within the park. The picnic lunch was good and healthy. Bring your bathing suit as there are quite a few areas to take a quick dip near waterfalls.

Great way to learn about Manaus - Rudolpho contacted me immediately to confirm and every question I had prior to the tour was answered quickly and completely. The tour itself was amazing. Rudolpho definitely knows what he is talking about. Our group of 10 absolutely loved the tour and my entire group kept thanking me for finding this tour. The highlight for us was definitely the Opera House, but the other stops, and the information our guide provided, helped us to understand Manaus. I'd highly recommend.

City highlight tour with excellent guide and driver - The opera house and palace were very interesting and our guide Diogo was easy to understand. He translated everything we asked and was great to get along with. Super easy going and helpful. The driver Hising was super courteous and helpful and gave Diogo information to pass on to us. The marketplace was intriguing with its combination of tourist items for sale and goods for local people. It’s history and architecture were well explained and very interesting.

2 Perfect Days - We had 2 days in Manaus on our cruise and wanted to see as much as possible. We did private tours of Manuas city, meeting of waters,Flooded Forest, giant Lily Pads floating village and Januari lake. It was a perfect combination of outdoor adventure and city culture and history. We are older so we needed a slower less strenuous tour but still saw everything in a comfortable new jeep and a private speedboat. For younger people there is no issue to more adventurous touring just ask. We'd tour again with Rodolpho
