First, we booked this 4-hour historical tour with Milton to visit the main attractions of the city (the opera house, the municipal market, and the city center surroundings). Milton is... read more extremely knowledgeable about his city, very polite and was extremely patient about all our questions (and we had a lot of them!). We loved every second with him, and then we decided to hire Milton for the afternoon as well to go to MUSA, a nice local restaurant, and the next day to go the Museu do Seringal (where he took us in his boat, and it was so nice to learn about the rubber period of the city!). Milton was excellent! We couldn’t have chosen a better guide to learn about Manaus and its history.

  I highly recommend the city tour. we visited the historic opera House, the city market which was an experience I’ll never forget. Then we took a boat tour to see... read more the meeting of the rivers, cruising the Manaus shoreline, and visiting the floating village. Milton was in the enclopedia of knowledge, explaining and informing a multitude of places, wildlife, and sites. Thanks Milton.. Derek

  Phenomal day in Amazons - I had a whole day with Fabio (and with Milton) and it was such an incredible experience. We had a beautiful hike in the rainforests, a delicious lunch, then swimmed... read more with pink dolphins, went piraña fishing, had a poetic sunset on an island in the middle of Amazons, saw some allegators, in the dark and finished the day with a boat ride under the moon. Can’t believe we did all in one day. Fabio, our local guide, was fantastic! He gave us so many interesting information about the habitat — he was so kind and thoughtful. He even gave me his phone when my battery died. Milton also managed everything so well although I had to change my schedule last week. Beautiful people and such a unique experience — I cannot recommend them enough!

  After 2 weeks on a Viking Ocean cruise up the Amazon where almost nothing went well or as scheduled what a pleasure this full day tour was on our final... read more day in Manaus with Amazon Private Tours by Milton.
All details arranging the tour via email were always promptly handled and our pickup could not have been better. We had arranged to be picked up at the port and then dropped off at the end of our tour at the hotel. Like most things on the Viking Cruise, all the disembarkation info we were provided was incorrect but one quick call via WhatsApp and we were immediately contacted by our tour driver who made schedule adjustments to accommodate us.
A quick tour thru the town and our driver, Thales, dropped us off at the marina where we boarded our boat with our guide for the day, Luce. The tour progressed exactly as advertised heading first to swim with the pink river dolphins where our guide literally took a hundred pictures of us in the water. Next stop was the indigenous Desana village followed by a return trip back down the Rio Negro for a delicious lunch at a floating restaurant by January Park featuring local specialties. We walked the boardwalk from the restaurant into the park to view the Amazon's giant lilly pads and even spotted a caiman.
Next stop was the floating village and a visit to a piracu fish farm to "fish" for these monsters - lots of fun. We headed out to view the Meeting of the Waters before quick riverfront tour of Manaus' harbor and return to the marina. Our tour guide was pleasant, informative and provided an amazing experience!
Our driver, Thales, was once again waiting to pick us up and transport us to the hotel while providing local information and restaurant recommendations. With all the confusion over our departure from the cruise ship earlier in the day he even offered to return us back & forth to the port if there was any issue with our luggage - fortunately it had been delivered by the cruise line as promised.
With only a very short time in Manaus this full day tour hit all the highlights and was a perfect ending to our Amazon excursion.

  I am not going to lie,when my husband said we are going into the jungle and we are sleeping there for a night I lost 2 weeks of sleep before... read more that.But after I met Milton and Fabio I felt a lot better. And once we start our journey all that fear faded and it was replaced by excitement. And the most important part wasthat I felt safe. There are risks obviously but even walking down the road its a risk nowadays. Just listen to your guide, watch your steps and use loads of bugs spray even though there were more mosquitos far away from amazon.We had an amazing time. We left with so many memories.It was one in a lifetime experience that I honestly recommend.

  Great Introduction to Manaus  - This is a wonderful tour to introduce you to the fascinating city of Manaus, the banana market, the opera house, the amazing Negro and Amazon rivers and so much more!... read more The guides were on-time, interesting and were very fluent in English. Lunch was delicious. The boat ride was fun. This is a great tour! So much to see and do. Well worth your time and money!

  We first went swimming with river dolphins. They come right up to you and touch you. You can touch them too (just not on the nose or head... read more , or you might freak them out).

Then we went trekking in the jungle, learning a lot about the flora and catching glimpses of lizards.

After lunch, we went fishing for piranhas. At first, I didn't have the hang of it but thanks to tips from the local guide, I ending up catching a few. It's probably the most fun I've ever had fishing in my life.

We then went on a beach to watch the sunset before going to catch wild caimans! The first one we encountered was about 1.5 m (5 feet) long. I couldn't believe our guide attempted to catch it with his bare hands. It was a tough one, though, and it escaped. The guide then caught a few smaller ones to show us their physical aspects and to have me hold them.

It was a great time!
