Hello everyone, this excursion is perfectly organized from start to finish and Milton our guide was the best communicator and simply the sweetest person ☺️ Best regards Anders Dansih version: En tur i bare må på, hvis i er i Manaus 🇧🇷🇩🇰

It was absolutely amazing! The tour was exactly as it's been promised n even better. The weather was ok in the beginning but as it seemed that is going to change I asked my guide Milto, I believe his name, to start from the dolphins as that was and my priority and he agreed. In general the guide was very informative, flexible, calm n fluent jn English! He didn't mind to extend the 4 hours that the tour was supposed to take and drive us as smooth as possible through the waves because on our way back there was a storm. I totally recommend the tour with this guide who actually is running a private business in Amazon so he knows how to treat tourists.

Peguei a experiência de meio dia apenas por indisponibilidade de tempo (eu tinha horário para sair do hotel). Valeu muito a pena, todos os envolvidos foram muito atenciosos e gentis. Estar perto dos botos é incrível, o encontro dos rios Negro e Solimões é muito interessante, almoço muito bom, enfim, adorei!
