First of all, thank you so much for not cancelling the tour even though I was the only one to book this day! I was in Manaus on business... read more and had only a limited time for tourism. This was the perfect tour to see so much in one day. I highly recommend, especially if you don’t have a lot of time for other tours. My guide was amazing, spoke excellent English and helped me with my Portugese. Had an amazing lunch in the Jungle and saw lots of wildlife including Tucan, parrot, eagle, hawks, terrantula, and Caymen. I was fortunate to have wonderful weather and capped the day off by watching the beautiful sunset over the Rio Negro and a quiet float searching for Caymen once it got dark. I loved hearing the sounds of the jungle at night! I look forward to returning some day during high water and taking a trip through the floating forest! On the ride home Milton provided a lot of interesting history of the city of Manaus and the general area. Overall, this was probably the best tour I’ve even been on! I only wish I had time to explore more and take additional tours while I was here!
Awesome tour - hard to beat ! - This tour is awesome and couldn't get better than this ! Special shout out to our tour guide Fabinho! a great guide who knows the jungle inside out. He really... read more took care of us and making sure we were comfortable at every step. The lunch at the boathouse was awesome and is made fresh in camping style. Plenty of water provided you'll need plenty too :).
Milton our tour operator was excellent and very knowledgeable, he picked and dropped us off from hotel. We were looking to buy some water bottle on our way back ..Milton was kind enough and provided us with extra water bottles. Overall a memorable experience with a great tour operator.
I took the 12 hour jungle tour. Worth every penny it was everything it promised. My guide was Fabinho his English was surprisingly good. I definitely totally recommend this business... read more & Fabinho.
It’s brilliant - book it! - Milton and his team are professional, helpful, responsive and very efficient. We had a brilliant time on the full day river tour. Denis our tour guide was engaging, courteous and... read more knowledgable. The whole day was just what we were all hoping for.

‘A great whole day in the jungle’ - Feb 26, 2024 we all agreed in this trip that we have a very knowledgeable tour guide (I apologize for not remembering his name) to lead us in the most... read more complex path of the Rivers, flora and fauna of the jungle., knowing the name of each plant, trees, insects, characters and benefits of each make him most valuable guide to this very worthwhile jungle day trip., all of that while blessed with a non stop rain!, Topped with a stop to actually swim with some dolphins (a highlight) and he showed our group how Amazonian caught fish for survival (some of us did caught) and also he searched and found alligator in the dark.
This tour was absolutely MAGIC, worth TEN STARS!!!!! Fabinho is the best guide you could wish for, so kind, friendly, and super knowledgeable. It's clear he loves what he does... read more and excels at it. Swimming with the pink dolphins, piranha fishing, and the amazing hike through the rainforest created a truly unforgettable experience.
Similarly, the next day, we visited an indigenous tribe along the banks of the Rio Negro and had lunch at a floating home on the river. It was precious and our guide for that day, Thales. was absolutely wonderful as well.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR!
One of the best tours I’ve ever done, incredible experience, I can’t recommend this enough. If you had to do only one thing while visiting Manaus I would do this... read more day! Our tour guide Fabio is amazing, he knows so much and is very open to answers all questions you might have. The tour was very private, only 5 of us which meant we got to learn a lot more. It was truly a full day from morning until night. The food was delicious, and everyone we met was extremely friendly and kind. I hope you enjoy it too if you decide to go for it! It was a very unique and special day for us getting to see the Amazon rainforest and spending a lot of the day in the river, so I hope it is for you too!
Two trips in one - Great way to visit Manaus and the Amazon River - One guide showed us the Opera House -OMG. the yellow house, driving around the city explaining the history and see the Banana and Fish markets. Then we were... read more handed off to our boat captain and 2nd English speaking guide. Both English speaking guides were wonderful. Our boat captain knew where the animals were and found 3 sloths, a howler monkey and two iguanas. Because it was raining we did not get to see the meeting of the waters, however the young guide encouraged us to put our hands in the river and we could feel the difference of temperature of the Amazon and Rio Negro rivers and exactly where they met!
I went on a 2 day tour with our guide Fabio. It was simply spectacular. And he was the greatest guide one can ask for! The program was very diverse... read more so we got to experience many things that you can do in the Amazonas. Swimming with pink dolphins, visiting a tribe, eating at a floating restaurant, hiking in the rainforest, piranha fishing while watching the sunset (my personal highlight) - and much more.
We spent the night at Fabio’s place in a small village in the Amazonas where we had dinner and breakfast together. Rooms are simple but absolutely convenient. Fabio is a super cool guy and exactly the one person you want to hang out with in the Amazons because he really knows and shares so much about the surrounding. And most importantly- you will feel 100% safe with him. Last thing to say - go on this tour and have a great time. Thank you Fabio for this great experience!!

A Day On The River, A Lifetime of Memories - This was an amazing experience to cover many highlights in just one tour. It rained the night prior so pretty wet for our jungle trek so bring a pair of... read more shoes you don’t mind getting really dirty. Our guide was Fabio and he is a master of the river and jungle and you will be impressed with his knowledge and abilities to find sloths hidden in the forest canopy and spot and catch a cayman. My canoe of 7 can’t stop sharing how much we enjoyed this experience.

Must do! - Made our trip in Brazil. Fabio is a fantastic guide, and was able to spot sloths from 20meters away in the jungle!

Sir Milton and his crew are amazing. The tour was well organized. We were lucky and had really a privet tour. Just the two of us!
The tour is... read more a perfect opportunity to see everything in a short time. I totally recommend it! His English is perfect. They have all a sense of humor and explain you everything. I will come back, next time with my whole family. Thanks!
Phenomal day in Amazons - I had a whole day with Fabio (and with Milton) and it was such an incredible experience. We had a beautiful hike in the rainforests, a delicious lunch, then swimmed... read more with pink dolphins, went piraña fishing, had a poetic sunset on an island in the middle of Amazons, saw some allegators, in the dark and finished the day with a boat ride under the moon. Can’t believe we did all in one day. Fabio, our local guide, was fantastic! He gave us so many interesting information about the habitat — he was so kind and thoughtful. He even gave me his phone when my battery died. Milton also managed everything so well although I had to change my schedule last week. Beautiful people and such a unique experience — I cannot recommend them enough!
Muito organizado e legal o passeio. O local dos botos é seguro e com ótima infra estrutura (conta inclusive com banheiros). Ao contrário desse tipo de passeio nos outros países,... read more os animais (os botos) não ficam presos e confinados , por isso são mais dóceis e menos estressados, vivendo em seu habitat normalmente. Ecologicamente correto. A Aldeia Indígena é a mais próxima que se pode ter do Índio em seu estado natural, onde se pode apreciar a cultura e até as comidas deles. Uma energia incrível! Valeu muito a pena. Os funcionários são muito atenciosos. Tiramos excelentes fotos nos locais visitados.
Milton totally delivered an informative, enjoyable and time efficient tour of Manaus’ main sights. His english language skills were perfect. Very effective at proactively sharing... read more interesting facts as we efficiently went from site to site. He is also quick to laugh and smile making him a great companion for a tour of any length. I highly recommend him.
A magical day in the Brazilian rainforest. - The entire experience was great. This company is very professional and efficient, from the information shared by Milton before the trip, to our friendly and knowledgeable driver (Samuel) to our... read more excellent well-instructed hiking guide (Fabio). Fabio was a great guide , very informative and organized. He maintained the order while allowing for an enjoyable walk. Lunch was very good and included many local delicacies like Tambaqui (a delicious fish) and farofa (side dish made with coarse yuca flour and seasonings). A great overall experience. I highly recommend it.
Great tour with a great guide - The trip was wonderful, the guide (Fabio, thank you again) was great, showed a lot in the forest and on the water and you could really feel his connection to... read more this wonderful place. It was a perfect trip to get an overview of the forest in a day.
We even saw some animals (birds, spiders, monkeys and glimpses of alligators), but they are treated with respect and not held as in a zoo, which means if you get lucky to spot some animals in the jungle you will see them, otherwise you don’t. But this is great, as again, the Amazon is not a zoo and on this tour the whole forest is treated with a lot of respect.
We loved it, we saw a lot and got to experience as much as possible in a daytrip without being overwhelmed. And again I have to praise our great guide Fabio (Fabinho) because he made this trip perfect.
Wonderful trip on the Amazon River - This was an Amazing and Fun experience! I am a female solo traveler from USA who only speaks English and I felt safe the entire time. The staff spoke great... read more English and were very friendly and punctual. I did the overnight stay and really enjoyed watching the sunrise. We Saw monkeys, dolphins, lots of different fish (including some over 4ft long!), sloths, a parrot, and more. The jungle hike and dolphins were my favorite parts of the tour, but I really enjoyed all of it.
Also appreciated that there was always a lot of bottled water and the excursions were very memorable.
Thank you so much for the great experience!

Sehr gut strukturierte 2-Tages Tour! Ich kann diese Agentur nur weiterempfehlen. Milton und sein Team haben sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben, um uns die verschiedenen Facetten das Amazonas zu zeigen.
