A walk through Itaipu and tours in Paraguay with a lovely lunch
It was a wonderful experience; for us, coming from Iquique, the prices were not favorable, but the experience is unique; then a lunch at Kattamaran Restaurant was the finishing touch. Thank you for the concern to provide good service

Spectacular Falls
Great to see a small piece of Paraguay. Stopped at a church, drove by a mosque and saw Monday Falls. The falls were spectacular. Couldn’t go inside church. Didn’t get to experience any of the other sites mentioned. Long queues to cross the border.
Response from the operator: Agradecemos por dedicar um tempinho para deixar sua avaliação. Seu comentário é muito importante para acompanharmos de perto a experiência dos nossos passageiros e seguirmos ajustando o que for necessário. Será um prazer ter você conosco novamente em outra oportunidade.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
City Tour Paraguay Express: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Foz do Iguacu.
How much does City Tour Paraguay Express cost?
+
Prices start at $46 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Foz do Iguacu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does City Tour Paraguay Express take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Foz do Iguacu is not rushed.
Is City Tour Paraguay Express worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Foz do Iguacu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule City Tour Paraguay Express?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is City Tour Paraguay Express suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book City Tour Paraguay Express?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Foz do Iguacu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Foz do Iguacu and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does City Tour Paraguay Express start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Foz do Iguacu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Foz do Iguacu?
+
On Outty we rank every Foz do Iguacu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Tour: 2Day to Both Sides of Iguazu Falls, Guided Expedition with Canoeing and Waterfalls in Iguaçu, Iguazu Falls : Private day tour both Brazil & Argentina. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Foz do Iguacu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Foz do Iguacu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in City Tour Paraguay Express?
+
Included: Entrance to the Hopes Monday; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Meals or drinks in general. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does City Tour Paraguay Express include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 65 listed pickup locations in and around Foz do Iguacu. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is City Tour Paraguay Express offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for City Tour Paraguay Express?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is City Tour Paraguay Express wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
