This is a great tour. The driver was great, calm and as asked spoke English. Iguazu is an amazing sight to see. Pick up was close to time and picked up from our airbnb, which made life very easy. Getyourguide is a great company and have used many times throughout the world. There is always a contact on the app and can be contacted by whatsapp, if you have an issue.

by far the boat ride is the best. everything was great and I cannot complain anything about this tour....what only pisses me off is that same company and same tour all of it with other ppl that were with us paid less than 25% of the price. so be carefull .. price is definitely not more than 50 euro from what Argentinans have told us.

Despite the fact that we didn't speak the languages of our guide, that didn't stop us from having a good day. Everything went as planned.

Hotel pick up was on time, communication very good being kept informed of to.es etc

Tour guide was very helpful, the boat was amazing great view of the falls!!
