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 were only in Manaus for a day so we spent a lot of time looking for the right tour company to work with. We couldn’t have been happier with... read more our choice of Milton.
Milton is so knowledgeable not only about details of the rubber history but of the entire history of Manaus and life in the Amazon. We both had read a decent amount of Brazilian history and researched the region but learned so much with Milton.
We added on a second tour of the river where we took a boat out to see a number of traditional Amazonian floating villages. The depth of knowledge and love he has for the region made it so special. We really got a comprehensive taste for the region in one day, exactly what we were looking for. We got to see a ton of wildlife too!
Apart from an excellent tour, Milton himself is a great person. Very warm and knowledgeable. We felt very comfortable with him, it felt like spending a day with an old friend. Very rare to find someone like Milton.
Look no further than Amazon Private Tours and Milton, he’ll curate exactly the experience you’re looking for. Can’t wait to visit again!!
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.
