A Natural Wonder of the World - A must on the Bucket list. - The park which happens to be a Rainforest park is very well kept. There are hotels and visitor centres with Wash room and cafeterias and gift/ convenience shops in strategic locations.
The entrance is well managed and the staff are very friendly. We were with a group and a guide who spoke good English.
The paths to the upper and lower circuit are very well laid out and
signageis also excellent.
We thoroughly enjoyed the view of the various falls within the park from both the Upper and lower circuits. The gushing water from the falls which was above average on this day was breath taking. Pictures cannot do justice of the views and the beauty of the falls. Definitely a place to visit and see if you are in this part of the world.

Great hike - It was a absolute spectacular view. It was 96° we visited and we got there first thing in the morning. We loved getting wet from the mist. I can’t imagine when it’s full blown tourist time.
I WOULD go back.

Magnificent - Iguaça Falls Argentine Side - We were staying in the Brazil and Loumar organised our trip to the Argentina side of the Falls. We were in a group but our guide made it seem so personal. You see so much more on the Argentina side compared with the Brazilian side of the Falls. Only negative is the long wait on entry and exit at the border, but Loumar provided a luxury coach where you could lie back and have a snooze. We did all three trails and there were plenty of toilets and refreshment outlets along the way. Staff in the national park were very friendly and helpful. Big thanks to Vivien Sanchez the guide from Loumar. She's a real pro with a lovely personality and sense of humour.

Grandiose and unforgettable - Complementary view from the Brazilian side; we did it with Loumar travel agency from Foz. It was well organized, took one day (from 7 am to 5 pm, with some waiting time at the border.
It fulfilled our expectations beyond our hopes; it was thrilling, great, and unforgettable.
thanks Mother Nature!

Well organized, great guide BUT the "exchange house" thing is a scam (Pay your entrance with a credit card) - The tour was great and extra thumbs up for our lovely guide, Vivian, who was on her game and super nice.
The *only* thing you should be warned about: The trip to the "exchange house" (ie, a currency exchange agent) because "Entry to the falls can only be bought in Pesos," ... Well, you can pay with Visa, Mastercard and American Express but they don't tell you this. And the exchange rate you'll get from your card is much better than the ripoff of the exchange house where Loumar Tourismo takes their trip (guessing there is a profit-sharing deal going on).
So when the tour stops at the exchange house, don't leave the bus...
Other than this, the tour is solid and well organized.

Iguassu Argentinian side - Excellent tour.
The only reason why I did not give it full score is the return to Brazil. We were sendt alone to the the border to get our Passport stamped. There was a long line of people waiting. It would have taken us hours if we did manage to bypas it. We did so by ourselfs, but the guide should have assisted us in this matter. Elsewise the whole bus would have to wait for us......

The falls are worth it though... - The tour was advertised as having an English speaking guide. Well this may have been the case however the entire commentary was conducted in Portuguese including some kind of team games we couldn't follow at all. The guide disappeared and left us at the entrance and had it not been for my understanding of Spanish and sheer luck that I could morph some detail from the Portuguese speaking guide, we would not have had a clue where to meet for the return trip! I have given 1 star for the tour because I guess they got us there and back. It's a very long day with extremely long hold up at border for some reason while all other vehicles were passing through and on their way.

Great scenery - Great scenery and great to see the falls from Argentinian side. However the tour was not a tour- just transport! 90% Portuguese. Badly organised.

A tour of constant waiting for everything. - After a perfect day on Brazilian side of the falls (including the extraordinary Birds park) we have decided to go to the Argentinian side, as many people say it's better. We choosed this Loumar Turismo and we really regret of this decision.
It was a tour full of neverending waitings. It was really crazy. First, they arrived late to our hotel (by 30 minutes or so, which would be fine, that can happen). Then we waited at the borders to Argentina for more than two hours! Nobody knew the reason and all other buses from other copanies stayed there 20 minutes maximum. We were there two neverending hours!
Then we waited at the gate to the national park another long time, then we again waited another long time for the train, then after the train before we got to the falls. Waiting everywhere...
After the exhausting day full of waiting we were supposed to leave at a certain time. We had to meet on a certain spot and the tourguide told us that who will be late by more than ten minutes will have to find his own way back to Brazil. At the certain time, we were there all, except for the tourguide himself. And actually, we waited there more than another two hours (maybe even three) till we finally could go. Crazy! Nobody told us why we wait, nobody told us anything. We were the very last group of tourists in the entire park.
So the entire tour was (nearly) only about waiting on various places. Waiting, waiting and waiting. The entire tour took around 11 hours, from which we spend more than 50 % of the time with waiting for something. And another approx. 30 % took the time we spend in a bus on the road. So definitely the whole day was a bit ruined.
I am a person who hates to wait anywhere. So this made me very unhappy.
