Experience the Amazon on authentic tours led by passionate local guides

"We absolutely loved our trip with Amazon Private tours. Milton runs a top notch organisation and his trips are simply the best. Milton‘s knowledge of Manaus and the wider Amazon area is exceptional. He speaks with such eloquence and passion for the region. It really is impressive. We chose the 12 hour day trip into the jungle. Fabio was our guide and we called him fabulous Fabio his knowledge of the flora and the fauna, the river and the jungle is just exceptional, we felt safe and well looked after. The attention to detail was so thoughtful and well planned. Lunch was exceptional. We would rate this as one of the best day trips we have ever done. We would highly recommend this trip. Many thanks to Milton and his team!"

"This is a perfect tour if you are only in Manaus for a short time and want to get the most out of a day. We had a fantastic time. Speed boat and canoe rides on the river, piranha fishing, pink river dolphins, spider and squirrel monkeys, a tarantula, and caimans. So grateful to our guide Fabio for sharing his love for the jungle with us. Many thanks to Milton for organizing the tours, promptly responding to messages and safely transporting us to and from. A highlight of our vacation."

"My partner and I chose this three-day trip as we wanted to explore a lot of what the Amazon had to offer. Milton was in regular contact with us via WhatsApp in the days leading up to our trip and collected us from the centre of Manaus to take us to the port, as well as dropping us back off when we returned. The lodge is clean and comfortable and each cabin is air conditioned with its own private bathroom. Three meals were provided on each full day we were there. Our guides - Denis and Cleu - were knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the local wildlife and people who live along the Rio Negro. We were asked whether there were things we did or didn’t want to do but were prepared to be guided by their expertise. We would both recommend this trip to anyone visiting the State of Amazonas as it’s simply the best way to experience what makes this part of Brazil so fascinating."

"Just the most outstanding experience! Milton is superb at organising and logistics and his knowledge of Manaus and the wider Amazonian area is phenomenal. Milton is eloquent and articulate and talks with such passion for the region and Brazil. His attention to detail for all the tours they run is exceptional. Our 12 hour day trip with Fabio was the best day trip we have ever done. Fabio’s knowledge of the jungle and the river is exceptional and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout. An absolutely outstanding day! True memory making - don’t hesitate to book."

"I booked the two days overnight tour at the Amazon & I need to say that it was the best organised tour I’ve ever been to. From the first contact with Milton until the end of the tour everything was planned perfectly. Milton collected us spontaneously at the airport as we had a flight delay. He directly drove us to the first stop: swimming with the dolphins. After this we cruised with Fabio, an other very nice guide with a massive knowledge. We cruised through the river watching the sunset, did some fishing & tried to spot some caimans. After this we drove to Fabio’s home & got some dinner. After the overnight stay we also got breakfast. The next day our guide was Dennis. He was also very friendly & explained everything very detailled. We visited a tribe, went for lunch to a swimming village, watched big swimming flowers & went to the meeting of the rivers. As I said everything was perfectly organised, everybody is so friendly & knowledgable. You will have so many different activities, so that I 100 % would recommend the tour. If you book a tour at the Amazon, you have to do it at this company. 5/5 stars."

"Trip with Milton Fernandez: Amazon Private tours.com: We signed up for 4 days of tours with Milton before our iberostar cruise.…What a great experience traveling with such an interesting guide. Milton spoke more than a few languages along with excellant English. We took Milton’s company’s River Day tour for 9 hours in a speed boat with 6-8 other people. I was nervous about being “nimble” enough to get in and out of the smaller boat when we came ashore but i had lots of help. We saw so much in 9 hours it was amazing..The highlight was swimming with the pink dolphins..We stopped mid day for a great buffet lunch on the rivers edge with a short walk to see giant Lily Pads.We took 3 more tours with Milton’s company; all were great! Milton was a terrific guide who has lived in Manaus all his life.. He is even better than his reviews! He would even stop to help other tourists that were lost or were trying to contact their guide. Thank you Milton for showing us so much in one day!"
