The trip to visit the falls on the Argentinian side was fabulous, our guide was excellent & very knowledgeable. It is a full day tour with lovely walks thru the bush & along the top of the falls. The 2nd day to the Brazilian side was average. You get great views of the falls from the Brazilian side, but there is a lot of queueing and waiting around. The trip was a little shorter but effectively we only spent about 45 minutes out of the day trip sightseeing.

Retigt god guid jeg fik også endda helt for mig selv og en fed tur hele vejen rundt kan helt klart andbefal det man skal dog ikke regne med en privet tur det var bare sådan det lige faldt ud for mig.

Great trip but because we booked speedboat as well Without speedboat this excursion is not interesting as bridge to Devils throat is destroyed

Excellent tour, 100% adventure On time, friendly staff, super fun

The day was really well structured. The guide was very friendly.
