    Neide was awesome!

    This private tour of the falls was excellent in every way. Neide was a fantastic guide. She knew the parks, where to go and when, she made sure we were totally prepared for the border crossings, and because we were with her, we got everywhere much more quickly than we could ever have navigated on our own.

    Iguazu Falls AMAZING

    Marcos took us on a private tour of both sides of the iguazu falls & it was a spectacular day! The private option is not cheap but it is well worth the money when you see the line ups! It also made the border Crossing easier so if you want to do both sides in a day i would recommend the private tour option & to start the day early to avoid the crowds (where possible). The Falls are simply amazing, hard to choose which side is better, maybe Brazil but they are both so different that I think you have to see both sides. We also did the boat ride & the helicopter to take advantage of all angles, these options are also worth it. Marcos was a great guide, funny & engaging & provided los of great information about the falls and surrounding areas.

    Perfect day at the wonder of the world.

    We had such an amazing time. Gabriel was our guide and he was the best. Everything was simple and efficient. Truly loved it. Not only was the process smooth and easy, it was so beautiful and breathtaking. Gabriel was our guide and still gave us space to live our best life at the falls. Truly enjoyed my time there. The guide was worth more than the experience, memories and joy I got from the trip.

    See both sides of the falls. This company is incredible! You will see and learn so much!

    If you are going to Iguazu falls, you must book this tour. Gabriel picked us up at the airport and from that moment on our day was seamless! He taught us so much about the region, and having him get us through the numerous customs stops at the border saved us so much time and stress. You won’t find a better guide or tour company . They arrange transportation with drivers from Brazil and Argentina to make the best use of time due to certain rules and rights for each country. Gabriel is a wealth of knowledge and an enthusiastic guide. He even went the extra step to book a tour for us the next day on the boat from the Argentina side. We could have cancelled but we decided to do it - and what great advice! Plus when we checked later we could not have gotten the boat we went on -it was sold out! But thanks to Gabriel we were able to go. This is a small company that delivers big results. Amazing value. Top notch in every way! We could never have done this as efficiently on our own. Bravo!

    Private Day trip: Both sides of Iguazu Falls: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Foz do Iguacu.

    How much does Private Day trip: Both sides of Iguazu Falls cost?

    +

    Prices start at $160 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 Private Day trip: Both sides of Iguazu Falls take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Private Day trip: Both sides of Iguazu Falls worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 107 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 Private Day trip: Both sides of Iguazu Falls?

    +

    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 Private Day trip: Both sides of Iguazu Falls suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Day trip: Both sides of Iguazu Falls?

    +

    Around 37 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Day trip: Both sides of Iguazu Falls 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.
