Super guides for beautiful landscapes - Very nice and well organized tour. We were able to see the Devil's Waterfall twice without crowds thanks to the valuable advice of Marchelino and Fabiano's Guide who accompanied us throughout the journey, explaining the history and culture of Brazil. Tour much appreciated thanks to the professionalism sympathy and hospitality of the 2 guides.

Night Argentina was top! - Very nice tour, everything went peacefully and we managed to enjoy all the points.
The guide Marcelinho is too good people! Of easy conversation, he contributed a lot so that every moment became light and that we only cared about enjoying the experience!
The fair is well busy and gives to take advantage of to buy from everything. The Argentine landmark is simple, but very beautiful to see. Duty Free has many products, for those who like to spend. Uncle Dear is top too, service and food first! The casino is also quite interesting to know.

Highly recommend Marcelo for your next amazing trip to Iguazu Falls! - The tour with Marcelo was amazing, he is knowledgeable, perfect english speaking, very kind and open hearted! We visited the Falls with from both sides, he recommended us the boat trip at the Argentinian side, Adventure trip - awesome and unforgettable journey! Also liked the Bird park and the helicopter ride, visited with him Thes Fronteras. He also organized all the transfers from the airport to the hotel, the car was comfortable, just the best possible private service for 5 persons. Marcelo was always on time for the tours and transfers, he knows all points of interest with incredible views and get us to the best places to enjoy Argentinian cuisine. Thanks to him we felt in love in this beautiful country. Maybe there are lot’s of tour guides in Iguazu Falls, but Marcelo is simply the best one!!! Thank you very much, Marcelo for unforgettable journey, miss you and hope to see you soon! 🙏❤️😊

Best tour guide! - Marcelo was amazing! He is very knowledgeable about the history of Iguazu and extremely passionate about his work. He went above and beyond to make our visit to both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides of the falls spectacular. He recommended the helicopter ride of the falls and a Latin American dinner show. Both were incredible additions. Thank you for the great memories Marcelo!!!

Best guide ever - We booked the tour the night before and weren't even sure if we'd get a guide. Then Marcelo showed up and he was the best guide we could've hoped for. Very friendly, insane knowledge of the national park and all around great guy. We managed to see the upper & lower trail, the devil's throat and even do a boat ride, all in one day. We would've not been able to do all of this without him, not even close.

Best Guide and Magician - Marcelinho was the best! Not only does he possess extensive knowledge about the Iguazú Falls and the area, but he can also do magic! We had separated 2 days to see the Brazilian and Argentinian side of the falls together with raft ride and helicopter ride of the falls! The day we arrived it was raining a lot and he recommended for us to go the next day and he’ll do some magic to do EVERYTHING IN ONE DAY! Well, we did it all in one day, not in a hurry and with sufficient time to spare and have a great dinner together! He’s funny, listens and cater to your needs and knows the right people ( almost everybody) in both sides of Iguazú! He should run for a Mayor! He is a great person and ended up transforming from guide, magician to a friend! Thank you Marcelinho for making our wish come true! You’ da Man!😃👊

I would highly recommend getting in touch with Marcelo and ask him to be your guide. You will not regret it. - ‘Marcelo is a great guide with a lot of knowledge about the area, the flora and fauna. He has a lot of good advice on how to avoid costs and save time. He speaks fluent English and multilple other languages. He even spoke a few words of Dutch, which was suprising!’
So our experience:
Monday at 17.00 we arrived at the airport Foz Do Iguazu, we collected our luggage and went looking for an Uber. While standing outside and waiting for our ride to be accepted we met Marcelo who just dropped someone off at the airport.
He said he could bring us to the hotel as well and offered a fair price. Other taxis offered to bring us for 50 Real and Marcelo offered to bring us for 30 Real. But our Uber ride (also 30 Real) got accepted and we couldnt cancel. Marcelo gave us his whatsapp number and told us he also could guide us to the Argentina side of the Falls and help us with passing customs.
We said we wanted to go on wednesday to the Argentina side and he explained to us that is was much better to travel tuesday. Wednesday is the day that a lot of people from Argentina travel to the falls and its one of the busiest weekdays.
Later that night my girlfriend and i were discussing our options and really quickly we came to the conclusion that Marcelo gave us a really good but more important a fair price compared to tour operators, the offer of our Selina hostel and tours on Tripadvisor.
Marcelo explained through Whatsapp that its better to buy tickets at the ticket office since those are 50% cheapers than online. He offered to get the Pesos for us so we wouldnt have to go to a money exchange office. Super helpfull so far and we agreed that he would pick us up 8am the next day.
So the next day at 8am Marcelo and his wife arrived. He immediatly explained that his wife would bring us to the border, we would get out and get our one day visa. In Argentina he arranged another driver to bring us to the falls. Crossing the border this way would save us a lot of time since it can be very busy at the border when you pass it with a car.
At the park we payed for the tickets with the Pesos Marcelo gave us and we could entered really quick. Marcelo told us it would be better to do the opposite route of the big groups to avoid them. So we did Devils Throat first, then lower circuit and after that the upper circuit.
Marcelo knows almost everyone in the park and we were able to skip the line at every trainstation. Marcelo let us do the trail by ourselves so we could experience them in our own pace. We would meet up again after we did a trail and he explained a lot about the falls, the flora and fauna and animals living in the Rainforest.
We had a really nice day and interesting talks about the park, life in Brazil and the Rainforest.
