We had such a nice time with Fabio and Milton during our days in Manaus and in the jungle.

Fabio was such an amazing guide, found animals that was hard to believe! We felt very safe during the whole trip - and specially during the overnight in the jungle.
The waterfall and caves tour was also nice - specially the caves.

Mr. Fernandes delivered us high standard service, also those tours are available in English/Spanish/German languages. Timing, safety, beautiful scapes, nice boat and a lot of information making your tour the most richer as possible. HIGHLY RECOMENDED.
All day jungle and river experiences. - Swimming with dolphims was the highlight, but really enjoyed the entire day including the jungle walk where we saw a sloth and a tarantula, the lunch at the floating restaurant... read more (where we saw another sloth), fishing for piranha (my wife and I each caught 2), and the ride back (watching the sunset and seeing caiman eyes reflecting our lights back at us). Our guide was Fabio and he was fabulous!
Wonderful trip on the Amazon River - This was an Amazing and Fun experience! I am a female solo traveler from USA who only speaks English and I felt safe the entire time. The staff spoke great... read more English and were very friendly and punctual. I did the overnight stay and really enjoyed watching the sunrise. We Saw monkeys, dolphins, lots of different fish (including some over 4ft long!), sloths, a parrot, and more. The jungle hike and dolphins were my favorite parts of the tour, but I really enjoyed all of it.
Also appreciated that there was always a lot of bottled water and the excursions were very memorable.
Thank you so much for the great experience!
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 !
A Day On The River, A Lifetime of Memories - This was an amazing experience to cover many highlights in just one tour.

Our guide was Fabio and he is a master of the river and jungle and you will be impressed with his knowledge and abilities to find sloths hidden in the forest canopy and spot and catch a cayman. My canoe of 7 can’t stop sharing how much we enjoyed this experience.

I brought My 8 yo daughter and she had a great time.

They would explain things in a way she could understand and learn.
My favorite part was the trekking, learning more about the local plants, making the fire, and cooking a surprisingly tasting meal.
My kid's favorite part was to swim with the pink dolphins in the river.
Also, when my phone died, Milton borrowed me his phone, so we could take pictures! that sounds small bus was very helpfull. 🙂

We will treasure the memories. One of our best day trips ever!!

day in the jungle and visiting waterfalls and caves was an
incredible experience, Milton definitely made our trip. He's
friendly, communicative, his history knowledge and great
English made everything even better. It's hard to find
words to define it and also the food.oh my goodness
me. If visiting the rain forest is on your bucket list, l'd
highly suggest adding Milton's contact on it (Amazon
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!!!
This tour was absolutely MAGIC, worth TEN STARS!!!!! Fabinho is the best guide you could wish for, so kind, friendly, and super knowledgeable. It's clear he loves what he does... read more and excels at it. Swimming with the pink dolphins, piranha fishing, and the amazing hike through the rainforest created a truly unforgettable experience.
Similarly, the next day, we visited an indigenous tribe along the banks of the Rio Negro and had lunch at a floating home on the river. It was precious and our guide for that day, Thales. was absolutely wonderful as well.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR!
Fun and memorable day in the Amazon - Had a fun time with our tour guide Fabio. Took a nice hike in the jungle, long boat ride and swam with the dolphins. Lunch was excellent and even the... read more fishing which I'm not a fan of, was fun. Great experience and worthwhile for those who can't spend days in the Amazon.

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.
I took the 12 hour jungle tour. Worth every penny it was everything it promised. My guide was Fabinho his English was surprisingly good. I definitely totally recommend this business... read more & Fabinho.
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.
