“Fabulous half day tour and great value! Transport was spot on and the wineries we visited were professional, interesting with great tastings! The olive oil visit was really good with great samples of oils and olives! Excellent value and would recommend!”
Review of the Brazilian Iguazu Falls excursion from Puerto Iguazu, with border advice, costs, views, timing, guides, and practical tips.
“This is mostly transportation from and to the Brazilian side of the falls. The guide was very helpful in explaining the different steps of the excursion but do not expect a fully-fledged tour of the waterfalls. His English was really good. It’s an easy and hassle-free way to manage the cross-border situation. Would recommend it, although I was expecting less time in the passport control. the whole process took 1 hour and a half when leaving Argentina and even more when we returned.”
See Buenos Aires your way on a private four-hour tour covering Plaza de Mayo, La Boca, San Telmo, Recoleta, and more.
“We had a wonderful city tour yesterday with Patrick, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Patrick was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights throughout the tour, making everything both interesting and enjoyable. He was very attentive to our needs and truly tailor-made the experience to suit us, which made the day feel personal and relaxed rather than rushed. His enthusiasm and professionalism really stood out. We would definitely recommend Patrick to anyone looking for an engaging and memorable city tour experience!”
