Worth a soaking!!
Punctual hotel pick up very early and off to the Falls. Ana Carolina was a very friendly, thorough and knowledgeable guide who managed to add me to the Brazil side too, plus an unforgettable boat ride under the Falls. You'll get soaked, there and on the final photo shoot at the end of the tour. Be warned. My trainers are still drying out - and it's the next day. Weather was terrible, torrential rain, but coming from Scotland I'm used to it. It did not dampen our spirits and we enjoyed every aspect of it. Lunch could have been a little longer but we had time for coffee and snacks at the end. The Falls were truly spectacular, from both sides - and under. There's a fabulous walkway right out into the middle. Again, you'll get wet! A once in a lifetime sight. Dropped off at our hotels afterwards and straight under a hot shower this time. Just fantastic!
Response from the operator: We truly appreciate your feedback! Knowing that you enjoyed your tour means a lot to our team. We always strive to create memorable experiences for our guests, and we're happy we could be part of yours. We hope to see you again on your next adventure! Best regards, Att, Giovanna Maldonado

Just Do It!
Our Guide Roberto was excellent, arrived on time, kept the group moving and introduced us to one of the most amazing places on the Planet ( and I have been to 105 countries) . This trip is simply a must do. But don’t do the two country version. Each side needs its own day! Now for some logistics. The tour operator strongly advises buying the actual entry ticket on line before you go. Follow this advice if you enjoy root canals. Five credit cards and two debit cards later we finally gave up. The reason given to buy ahead of time is that Argentine credit card machines at the Entry gate are “unreliable” Funny that the machine at the gift shop had no problem taking my 7 US dollars for an ice cream. The entry ticket problem was solved by our guide who arranged US dollar to peso exchange at the border. This was an expensive exchange ( ie the 30 dollar ticket now cost 40 but in the end what choice was there?). I would suggest doing the Brazilian trip as a separate day ( and do the boat ride on that side so as to mazimize the Argentine experience. Which is the best side?? What side of your face do you prefer?
Response from the operator: Dear Customer. Thanks a lot for the review. We are glad that you liked the tour. Please count on us on future trips. Thanks. Att, Giovanna Maldonado.

We wanted to see the falls better
Our tour wasn't what we expected. We choose only the Argentinian side of the Iguazu falls but the bus had more people that had to go to the Brazilian side. Because of that we had to whole tour in a RUSH matter. We were supposed to take the "circuito inferior" but the train time we had to take to see the "garganta del diablo" was very short we took the "circuito superior". We wanted to see the falls from the other perspective. The park was really crowded and we had to walk very fast the whole time. The Falls we very impressive. We would enjoy it more if the time schedule wasn't so rush the whole time.

Great tour!
This was an awesome tour!! I was a solo female, and I think it’s best to do a tour like this so that you have a group and feel safe. Also, definitely worth the price to have a guide take you to both sides (get you through customs in Argentina, inform you about the history and science behind the falls). We saw lots of wildlife despite it being quite chilly! Bhrenno was a great guide and made sure everyone was comfortable.
Response from the operator: Dear Customer. Thanks a lot for the review. We are glad that you liked the tour. Please count on us on future trips. Thanks.

Day Trip to the Argentinian Side of Iguassu Falls from Foz do Iguaçu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Iguazu.
How much does Day Trip to the Argentinian Side of Iguassu Falls from Foz do Iguaçu cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Iguazu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day Trip to the Argentinian Side of Iguassu Falls from Foz do Iguaçu take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Puerto Iguazu is not rushed.
Is Day Trip to the Argentinian Side of Iguassu Falls from Foz do Iguaçu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 179 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Puerto Iguazu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Trip to the Argentinian Side of Iguassu Falls from Foz do Iguaçu?
+
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 Day Trip to the Argentinian Side of Iguassu Falls from Foz do Iguaçu suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Trip to the Argentinian Side of Iguassu Falls from Foz do Iguaçu?
+
Around 63 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 Puerto Iguazu 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 Puerto Iguazu and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Trip to the Argentinian Side of Iguassu Falls from Foz do Iguaçu 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 Puerto Iguazu 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 Puerto Iguazu?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Iguazu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small group Falls Both Sides - Argentina and Brazil, The private Iguazu Falls Tour Brazil, Argentina in 1 day, Argentine Experience: Immersive Dinner & Wine Pairing in Iguazú. 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 Puerto Iguazu?
+
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 Puerto Iguazu?
+
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.
