Eu estive em Manaus algumas vezes...Na última vez estava trabalhando e cheguei antes para aproveitar a cidade. Antes de sair do Rio estava buscando um roteiro para... read more fazer com adultos e crianças, conversando com uma amiga moradora da cidade ela me indicou o Milton Fernande! Ele presta um serviço incrível! Além de ser muito educado e gentil, posso afirmar que é um guia completo, narra fatos históricos e científicos da região.
Foi uma alegria ter o Milton como nosso guia!!
Ele é pontual, tem um transfer limpo e bem cuidado. O passeio de barco é seguro e divertido!
Indico sempre o trabalho dele.
Perfect experience - It was a great experience. Totally recommend it. Our tour guide was very knowledgable.
Thanks for this great opportunity
Well organized tour with lots included but when we arrived we decided we wanted to stay for 2 nights. Nothing was too hard and was changed easily which we were... read more grateful for.
Our tour guide FABIO is FANTASTIC!! Very happy guy who’s always smiling and making funny jokes. He welcomed us to his village where we stayed and made us feel welcome and comfortable.
Hope to see you again one day!
THANKYOU!!
If you don’t know which company to use, use Amazon Private Tours! Friendly and helpful business, will recommend to other people!

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!

day in the jungle and visiting waterfalls and caves was an
incredible experience, Milton definitely made our trip. He's

private tour), he's the best. For you to have no doubts,
I've added some photos of our unforgettable experience.
Over a thousand photos were taken!!!
The most memorable experience in my traveling in Brazil, thank you, Amazon Private tours team!
In one day in the Amazon I saw so many incredible things that I... read more still can’t believe it (just check my photos here). Excellent communication, personalized approach, all my wishes were taken into account.
My huge gratitude for Milton - I fell in love with Brazil from the first days!
Exceptional - The best experience I had from a month in Brazil. Authentic, real, and amazing. I’d recommend to anyone who wants to see a lot in a little time.
My trip to the Amazon did not disappoint ! Though the Amazon didn’t look like what I thought it would in my head (Thanks to movies like anaconda that make... read more us believe there are snakes and wildlife just hanging from every tree lol ) it was an ammaaaaazing experience. My jungle guide FABIO was a true Tarzan. He knew so much about the jungle and I really felt at home with him even though I was the ONLY person on the trip. I never for a minute felt like I was in danger. The route he took us was off the beat because I never saw a single other tourist boat on the river. The sunrise trek and boat was an out of body experience. Just sitting there in darkness waiting for the sun to shine over the Amazon ! I was slightly unwell during the trek and Fabio made me some excellent lemon grass tea by just plucking some leaves from the jungle.
If you do decide to come to the Amazon, do it with Milton and Fabio. There’s no other way to go. I did meet two other girls at the tribal community I went to and their guide was so obnoxious. I was so thankful for such sensitive and caring guides!
5 star experience in a not so 5 star place !
One of the best tours I’ve ever done, incredible experience, I can’t recommend this enough. If you had to do only one thing while visiting Manaus I would do this... read more day! Our tour guide Fabio is amazing, he knows so much and is very open to answers all questions you might have. The tour was very private, only 5 of us which meant we got to learn a lot more. It was truly a full day from morning until night. The food was delicious, and everyone we met was extremely friendly and kind. I hope you enjoy it too if you decide to go for it! It was a very unique and special day for us getting to see the Amazon rainforest and spending a lot of the day in the river, so I hope it is for you too!
We had a brilliant time with Milton and Fabio on this experience. Both were kind, funny, knowledgeable and welcoming. Fabio even went out of his way to make us homemade... read more food for our dietary requirements as we stayed in his guest house.
We got to see the meeting of the waters, the floating villages, meet a tribe, swim with river dolphins, trek through the jungle, sample local food, see the sunset and the beautiful night’s sky filled with stars. Any activities we didn’t want to participate in, such as Piranha fishing, was absolutely fine with the guides and they tailored our experience for us wherever possible.
Milton and Fabio were great at spotting wildlife such as squirrel monkeys, alligators, tarantulas and so much more. We felt incredibly safe with them at all times as they knew how to navigate the rainforest and had great relationships with local people.
It was one of the best experiences of our lives and we’d definitely recommend for others looking to get a full experience of the Brazilian Amazon. We saw and learnt so much and will keep the memories with us forever.
My brother and I took this 8 hour caves and waterfalls day tour and had a fantastic time! Our small group of five people (including our guide Mario) was a... read more perfect size. The tour started with being picked up from our hotel and driving almost two hours outside of Manaus to reach the first waterfall. The waterfall was impressive, with a huge volume of water and strong current. We were able to jump/dive into the water and swim around in a safe location under the watchful eye of Mario. We then walked around one kilometer to the next waterfall which was equally impressive. After that we hopped back into the car and drove into the town to have lunch. Following lunch we drove out to a spectacular grotto where we spent time taking pictures, walking through the beautiful surroundings and enjoying the waterfalls and caves.
Insider tip, if you want the waterfalls and grottos to yourselves, book your tour for a weekday not a weekend. This will ensure that you do not have other people crowding your pictures and ruining the tranquility of the nature.
Mario was a great guide, giving us information about each place we visited as well as local flora and fauna.
We arrived back to our hotel around 18:00 tired but happy with our experience. If you want a true Amazon experience complete with nature, swimming, and a whole lot of knowledge than I would reccommend booking with this company and asking for Mario.
The two-day tour programme is very tight although not tiring. Everything that Amazon Private Tours promises is fully delivered! A very fun adventure, great people. I learned a lot. If... read more you don't have time for a longer trip, this is the tour for you.

10 Star River Day Tour! - The river day tour from Manaus was incredible and worth every penny! I’d give it 10 stars if I could. From the moment we booked and were contacted by Milton... read more we felt well cared for. The trip is so well planned and each experience was wonderfully interactive and interesting. Milton, our driver, and our guide all spoke English making the experience so much better for our family. Our guide was so informative and friendly and attentive. I grew up in the area and still learned so much and did several new things I’ve never done - like swimming with a pink dolphin! Amazing! From pick up at our hotel to drop off we loved our day! This trip is perfect for young and old - we had from a 6 year old to an 80 year old in our group and everyone had a great time! The cherry on top was the next day when Milton contacted me that our child had left something behind, he immediately drove nearly 30 min to our hotel and dropped it off for us! Incredible! I can’t review this highly enough! Book with Milton and I promise you will not be sorry!
This place was Phenomenal! Spent 3 days with Milton and his team and Manaus. Milton managed to fit everything in comfortably, very accommodating.
Highlight was definitely the Amazon Jungle... read more Experience Tour and that sunset over the 'ocean' WOW!
