The both sides iguassu falls tour is a must. The falls where absolutely incredible and each side gives a different experience. Big shout out to Silvana who was an amazing guide. Our pick up was on time and we headed first to the Argentinian side of the falls. On the Argentinian side there is lots of walking so make sure to wear comfortable shoes. You view the falls from above looking downwards. At this location there is lots of wildlife to see. Silvana was very informative and gave us lots of information about the falls during stops. After this we headed to the Brazilian side of the falls. From this side you see the falls from below. On this part of the tour you can opt to walk around the viewpoints or for an extra cost take a boat tour into the falls (dry or wet) and rappelling. We decided to take the wet boat tour which I would highly recommend. You get to see the falls from a totally different perspective and after all the walking from the Argentinian side it was fun to have a different experience. Also if you do opt to take the wet tour, bare in mind you go right under a waterfall and you get completely head to toe drenched and your belongings so take precautions ! Just some tips if you decide to take this tour - it’s a good idea to take some snacks, the day is very long with lots of walking, and as you’re doing both sides in one day there is not much time to stop to eat - totally worth the hunger but maybe take snacks. Wear comfy shoes as I said, there is lots of walking. Take plenty of money as the tour doesn’t include the entrance fees to the Argentinian side, Brazilian side and take money for food, boat tours or souvenirs. Finally I want to say a big thank you to Silvana, who was attentive, professional, kind and informative. She really kept the day smooth and was such a nice, friendly person. So thank you very much for giving us an amazing day. Totally recommend this tour to anyone visiting Iguaçu.

Everything about this tour was good. Our van picked us up on time; the show and dinner were excellent. After the show our guide was outside to make sure everyone found their way safely back to the van. Once we had gone through border control on both sides, two vans did some "passenger swapping" to ensure we were all returned to our hotels with minimal number of stops.

Although our tour guide did their best to translate, most of the time they were speaking in Spanish or Portuguese, so it was hard to understand as an English speaker. Also, the location we went to for the Three Points was not open with much to do or see. I probably would not recommend this trip.

We took the helicopter ride in a helicopter that sat 4. Although it was rainy we had a good view. The pilot gave accompanying info as we rode. You could take pictures clearly out of the windows. We took the ride after viewing the two sides of the falls which I recommend as you then get a beautiful overview of the the trails and the relationship of one cascade fall to the next one.
