Review of Manaus’ full-day Amazon River tour, with meeting waters, pink dolphins, Victoria Regia lilies, Indigenous culture, lunch, and practical tips.

“where should I start? All I can say is that I was completely thrilled by this tour and that my expectations were by far exceeded!! That started at the lecture with the appointment the day before. Even though I didn't live in the defined area, they offered to pick me up there anyway! I found that very friendly. The next morning the driver contacted me to confirm the pickup and pickup time, which meant I didn’t have to wait unnecessarily on the street. When we arrived at the port, we were able to check in quickly for the tour and we set off soon. The guide showed up and explained…”

Review of Manaus to Presidente Figueiredo waterfalls, caves, swimming, jungle walks, lunch, transport, value, and practical tips.

“Everything was fantastic and well organized. They come to pick up us at the hotel, we stopped at the bar to have breakfast and then we leave for the experience. We visited all the sites described in the site and we had a very good lunch with local river fish and meat. The group is composed by 15 people and we were followed by the guide for everything. I suggest this experience even if it’s a little bit challenging because we need to walk thought the forest for about 2 hours .. go up on the hills , on the river , ecc .. it’s good if you live wild…”

Sail from Manaus to Santarém on a 36-hour Amazon ferry, with hammock or cabin berths, rainforest views, meals, and practical tips.

“Bestilte turen på basis af billeder af en lille hyggelig båd. Endte op på en åd med over 1000 passagerer hængekøjer overalt. Øverste dæk, hvor man kunne opholde sig og få lidt mad og drikke, var med meget høj musik, så man ikke kunne snakke sammen. Havde bestilt og betalt for kahyt til tre personer men fik kun en lille kahyt med to senge. Ved henvendelse til Amazingtours blev der svaret, at vi bare selv kunne sætte en hængekøje op udenfor kahytten. Ikke acceptabelt. Et krav om delvis tilbagebetaling blev ikke besvaret. Amazingtours har bare scoret forskellen mellem en stor kahyt og den lille vi fik. Overordnet set, en tur…”

I had to a service to clean math room with likes of lysol, and only then smell got better. How they dare to call itmastersuite?”

Review of a 3 or 4-day Rio Negro cruise from Manaus, with jungle hikes, dolphins, piranha fishing, hammocks, meals, and practical tips.

“Descrizione attività molto interessante, ma invito get your Guide ad andare a sperimentarla per valutarla di persona. La barca era fatiscente e con un livello di igene molto basso. Il programma continuava a cambiare secondo le esigenze della guida e capitano -non necessariamente secondo quanto descritto nella descritzione dell'attività stessa- senza spiegare un granchè a noi utenti (Per esempio la crociera doveva arrivare a toccare dei luoghi che invece non ha fatto. Il trekking nella Giungla da 3h è stato ridotto a 40 min etc). L'Amazzonia è affascinante, ma abbiamo perso molto poichè le guide - forse abituate a fare questo lavoro e forse annoiate- non avevano alcuna cura di…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 26 reviews · 3 hours · from $60

Taste Amazonian fruits, fish, tapioca, açaí, and guaraná on a small-group food walk through Manaus’s Adolpho Lisboa Market.

“Guide had only a very basic knowledge of English. Difficult to comprehend him and difficult for him to understand us. He gave very little information to us about where we visited. The transportation was in his personal car that was way too small for a driver plus four adults passengers. He kept promising that a bigger car was coming but it never happened. He did not take us to see all the market. We missed the fish market almost totally. Saw only a bit of it as we later discovered on another market tour. This tour was not even worth half the value of what we paid. I will not…”

“The communication before the tour was terrible, and we ended up arriving at the meeting before 10. Others on the tour were the old a meeting time of 10:30 (they were on the same ship that my wife and I were on). we ended up waiting until 11:00 for 2 other couples that never showed up. The meeting point was in the port reception building, which was blistering hot (the feels like temp that day peaked at 107 degrees). The remainder of the tour was ok, but the haphazard start and lengthy wait really drained our energy and enthusiasm.”
