All The Highlights - Great tour if you are looking for a way to experience the main attractions in Manaus and learn some history along the way! It was just my friend and I with our guide, so he let us choose some of the destinations we wanted to go to, which was awesome! Car was clean and nice - tour guide was excellent - and gave us cold bottled water during the tour - would totally recommend 😊

Manaus is a fascinating old town with a busy waterfront and municipal market all very interesting. Our guide spoke good English and was very knowledgeable on the history of the city.</p>

Bad experience - Booked the afternoon trip and was told the pickup time was 7:45 am. After several emails which were replied to promptly the pick up time was changed to 12:45pm No big deal
The driver arrived promptly then we went to another hotel where we waited 40 minutes for another group. After they boarded we drove to another hotel where we waited 15 minutes and picked up more guests and then to another hotel to pick up the guide
Our group was English speaking the other groups were not. The guide could speak some English but had trouble understanding us. By the end of the trip he was speaking almost exclusively Portugese.
It took 2 hours after tour was over to get back to our hotel. Other guests and the guide were dropped off first
This is the first negative review I have left on trip advisor and we use it often. Based on our experience I cannot recommend this tour for anyone
