We had a good experience...
We had a good experience on our full-day tour to Paraguay. The traffic was quite bad on the way there, so the journey took longer than expected, but thankfully the return journey was a breeze and we got back easily. Our guide, David, was exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful throughout the day. He really made the experience more enjoyable and was always there to assist us whenever needed. A big thank you to David for taking such good care of us! One of the highlights was visiting the Iguazú Falls from the Paraguayan side at Saltos del Monday. The atmosphere there was very peaceful and calming, and it was a lovely place to slow down and enjoy the natural surroundings. We also visited the impressive Itaipu Dam. It was fascinating to see such a massive engineering project up close and learn more about its importance to the region. The shopping was another highlight. There are some really big mega shopping malls with plenty of shops and a good variety of things to browse and buy. Overall, we enjoyed the day and were happy to have the opportunity to visit Paraguay. My only reservation is that I felt the tour was a little overpriced for what was included. If the price was more reasonable, I would have rated the experience even higher. Despite that, it was a worthwhile day trip, and David definitely made it a memorable one.

Recommend seeing the Paraguyan falls if you are staying in Iguazu for more than few days
A great way to check Paraguay off the list. Coming from the U.S. we were not interested in the shopping which is apparently a great deal for Brazilians but less so for us. The falls were definitely worth seeing. Our guide was professional, spoke good Englishh, and very friendly. He was also accommodating to our preferences. Recommend if you are staying in Iguazu for more than a couple of days.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Paraguay and that the waterfalls were one of the highlights of your day. It’s also wonderful to know that your guide’s professionalism, friendliness, and flexibility helped make the experience even more enjoyable. As you mentioned, Ciudad del Este offers a different experience depending on each traveler’s interests. While many visitors enjoy the shopping opportunities, others simply prefer taking in the scenery and exploring another side of the region—and we’re glad the tour gave you that opportunity. Thank you for choosing to explore the Paraguayan side with us. We hope you had an amazing stay in Iguazu and that we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you back on another adventure in the future!

Awesome tour if you have Deivid as your guide
I wasn't going to give a great review, but because of my guide Deivid I am . He went out of his way to be accommodating, knowledgeable, inviting and engaging. You can't go wrong if you get him as your guide. The reason I wasn't going to leave a good review doesn't matter at this point.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! 😊 We’re glad to hear that Deivid made a real difference during your tour and contributed to such a positive experience. He’ll definitely be happy to hear this. We hope to see you again soon!

Saltos Monday
Saltos Monday was truly an incredible sight to behold—a magnificent waterfall that left us in awe. We also made a stop at the Paraguay and Argentina border, where the three countries converge. Since it was a private tour, we decided to forgo the shopping excursion. Our primary focus was on witnessing the waterfall and exploring a bit of Paraguay. The tour guide proved to be exceptionally accommodating and promptly accommodated our request to stop for lunch. He took us to a fantastic restaurant that offered a delightful dining experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your detailed review! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the incredible sight of Saltos Monday and the stop at the Paraguay-Argentina border, where the three countries meet. It’s great that the private tour allowed you to customize your experience, focusing on the breathtaking waterfall and exploring Paraguay. We’re also delighted that our guide could accommodate your lunch request and took you to a fantastic restaurant for a memorable dining experience. 🍽️ Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure soon! 🌍

Full-Day Private Tour: Paraguayan Falls, City Tour and Shopping Ciudad Del Este: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Foz do Iguacu.
How much does Full-Day Private Tour: Paraguayan Falls, City Tour and Shopping Ciudad Del Este cost?
+
Prices start at $270 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 Full-Day Private Tour: Paraguayan Falls, City Tour and Shopping Ciudad Del Este take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Full-Day Private Tour: Paraguayan Falls, City Tour and Shopping Ciudad Del Este worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 12 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 Full-Day Private Tour: Paraguayan Falls, City Tour and Shopping Ciudad Del Este?
+
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 Full-Day Private Tour: Paraguayan Falls, City Tour and Shopping Ciudad Del Este suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Private Tour: Paraguayan Falls, City Tour and Shopping Ciudad Del Este?
+
Around 4 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Private Tour: Paraguayan Falls, City Tour and Shopping Ciudad Del Este 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.
