4.Private Day trip: Both sides of Iguazu Falls

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 102 reviews · 7 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $150

Spend 7 to 9 hours exploring Iguazu Falls from Brazil and Argentina with a private guide and air-conditioned transport. Guides such as Gabriel, Fabio, Marcos, and Luis are praised for smart timing, border assistance, photography tips, and adapting the day to your pace. Park fees and the optional Brazilian boat ride cost extra.

“It was better than expected. Our tourist guide was Marcos, and he was great. We enjoyed our day with him learning about the Falls, the cities, and the countries. He knew all the best spots and views and helped us taking family pictures. It is an intense tour, but the paths on both sides of the falls are very easy...just bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated. Marcos was very flexible and never rushed the day. With this tour, you would use a different line to cross the borders and it doesn't take too long. I highly recommend this tour.”
