In this tour I will take you to a history class about the times when Manaus became one of the wealthiest cities in Brazil. We will walk through the streets that were build in the XIX century and see the facades of the houses built in new classic style with materials and contractors brought from Europe. We will take a boat to navigate until the place where a movie was filmed telling the story of this era and feel like if we were back in the time. And much more.

Oh my god. It was so awesome. First of all, kudos to Milton for always being ready to help — it was my first experience in Brazil when my tour wasn't canceled or postponed. The guy is a really great guide, and his english is just great. I cannot even say how I liked the tour. Milton is so great, and answered all my questions. The tour includes visiting a restaurant with the local food (fish is awesome!), and even fishing of pirarucu which is not that simple. :) Overall, I highly recommend this one. Thanks!

I've spent 4 days in the jungle and it was totally worth it. I saw a lot of animals, slept one night in a hamoock, fishing piranhas and cooking by the fireplace. My guide had great experience and knowledge of nature and life in the amazon. I learned a lot and experienced unforgettable moments!

Our tour starts from your hotel from where we will head to the historical center of Manaus, you'll be able to see the facades of the buildings with the marks of neo classic style that was the look of Manaus during the rubber boom. Let's walk through an area called "the old Manaus" which can give a clear understanding of the wealthiest era that our region held. We'll visit a museum that used to be the city hall and gives us a good understanding of the history of the capital of the Amazonas state. We'll visit the Amazonas Opera House and understand how so many materials and artists were brought from Europe to the jungle to build a place that remains a symbol of this beautiful era. We'll head to the market complex to see the three buildings know as the banana market, the fish market and the municipal market, each holding its unique beauty. We'll visit also the Rio Negro Palace that was intended to be a rubber baron's house but ended up becoming the government's office.
