How to see Manaus - This was a great tour. The Manaus Opera house is a real gem. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating to those who had mobility issues. I recommend this tour.

Great Day in Manaus - Arrived on a "pathetic" 5 hour late cruise. Joao (John) was waiting and showed us an nice tour. Behind the scenes and skipping the lines at crowded venues. As a native, John had an incredible knowledge of Manaus, and knew how to relay it to us in perfect English. HIghly Recommended

Milton and Manaus - Our guide was able to access points of interests very quickly and it was apparent that he was a common presence as he knew most everyone we encountered! He was knowledgeable about the city and answered all of our questions. He even gave insight and shared local Foods and drinks.

Manaus city tour in a compact car - The tour started out a little rough with the guide showing up with a compact car to pick up 4 adult not skinny people. This is the be aware that the vehicle used on tours in Manaus might not be your SUV or van type of vehicle. The next disappointment was that the Opera House was closed that afternoon due to an upcoming event. Not the tour guides fault but still disappointing. Since it was rainy season we were continually dodging rainstorms. But overall we saw some interesting museums and markets and the guide was very informative about the places we saw and visited. I would recommend this tour with the caveat that if cramped transportation isn’t your style then verify what size of vehicle is being used up front. These tours advertise air conditioned vehicle but don’t indicate size.

Manaus - Our guide was patient and helpful. Communication prior to tour was excellent. So helpful to have a car take us from place to place. Interaction with local people is always an education.

A great tour of a historical city - Milton was a great guide and very friendly with excellent English. We drove to many of the key spots in Manaus and went inside the Opera House. He explained very well the details of the opera house. We visited the market and the riverside also and tried some Açaí. I took away a star as I thought it was quite expensive for a city tour but the tour itself was very good.

This tour covered the... - This tour covered the major sightseeing spots but not much history was covered. If you want a quick personal tour to see the highlights… that will cover it. It you want to more history behind the city.. not so much
