Review of a six-hour shopping trip from Foz do Iguaçu to Ciudad del Este, with border assistance, five hours to shop, and a small group.
“Chill shopping day. We actually walked to Shopping del Este as well, which was right next door. Lots of shops to browse and got some good deals. A little overwhelming with how crowded the stores can get, so definitely glad to get there early.”

“My 13 year old daughter and I participated in this 5 hour tour with an excellent english speaking tour guide - Laura. Laura was friendly, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. She made us feel comfortable from the moment she walked into our hotel (she even arrived early). The drive from our hotel was about an hour. Laura then proceeced to show us around and talk to us about the local artists. We got to see several of the artists actually creating their work. It was nice to see how the artists created their masterpieces. She let us decide what we wanted to do and when we were hungry she helped us…”

“What an incredible day! Private tour where you're not stuffed in a van with a dozen others. Extremely thorough and knowledgeable guide. (Sorry guide, I'm terrible with names and forgot already). He went above and beyond the normal expectations of a tour and goes out of his way to make sure you have the best experience possible. If you're thinking of a tour of Rio, this is the ultimate one to book 👌 worth every penny and would do it again in a heartbeat.”

Review of the 5-hour Paraguay shopping tour from Foz do Iguaçu, with border tips, costs, guides, shopping advice, and who should book.
“The tour is essentially what it says. You are picked up at the hotel and the driver takes you to the Paris Shopping Mall to shop. Its you typical shopping mall, nothing really special to it. For me I didn't really have any shopping I wanted to do and the prices were particularly cheap, but it allowed me to accomplish my personal goal of visiting Paraguay which is all I really cared about. The driver was very nice and did his best to help me (although I was an odd case and didn't really care too much about the shopping). Overall, this is what I expected and I would recommend…”

“Amazing combination of Buddhist, indigenous, and African culture in Brazil on a short trip from Sao Paulo. Our guide, Danilo, provided excellent commentary to help us better understand Buddhist heritage in Brazil and he also connected us with local artists from Embu das Artes to provide insight into religious practices. We definitely recommend this tour since it was an eye-opening experience!”
Explore Ciudad del Este, Saltos del Monday, wildlife, shopping, and Paraguay with private transport and a bilingual guide from Foz do Iguaçu.
“Saltos Monday was really cool waterfall to see, we also took a stop at the Paraguay and Argentina side where the three countries merge, I think shopping was a big part of this tour since it was a private tour we opted out of doing the shopping, really just wanted to see the waterfall and check out a little bit of Paraguay The tour guide was extremely accommodating, and we requested to stop for launch and he took us to a really good restaurant”
Explore Rio through markets, snacks, cachaça, beaches, and local neighborhoods on a private four-hour food tour with hotel pickup.
“Gabby was our tour guide and she was great! Our flight was 3 hours late, which made us late for our hotel pickup. Then there was a mixup with where we were to be picked up, but Gary and Alex (our driver) were very accommodating and took us to a wonderful Brazilian restaurant. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was superb. We only were able to experience one place Due to the late pickup, but I would highly recommend this tour and would Definitely book it again.”
Explore Belém’s Ver-o-Peso market, Amazonian wildlife, historic forts, museums, and local lunch on an 8-hour guided city tour.
“It covered the history of Belém well. However, had I known that 90% of the Ver-o-Peso market was closed for renovation I would not have traveled to Belem. In reality the entire trip to Belem was a waste of money and not worth the effort.”
Explore Recife’s historic center, local crafts, and RioMar mall with transport, bottled water, and a helpful English-speaking guide.
“The pickup at the cruise port was problematic because the driver did not have an approved vehicle to pickup tourists at the port. We had to walk a couple of blocks out of sight of the port police to be picked up. Thereafter the tour it self was very good. The driver/guide was very accommodating and helpful.”
