Tour Comments

Hello Amazing Tours,

I first want to say Bravo!! My family and I had a wonderful time on the Eco-Tour you had put together for us. The wild life was simply amazing and the knowledge of the guide to take his time and explain what we were seeing was very helpful with our limited language of the Brazilian Portuguese. I spent many nights after work reviewing different Eco-Tour agencies and after many phone calls and reviews yours was the one, we as a family picked and our expectations were surpassed by everyone that was involved. The best part is when we found out that a portion of what we paid for the Tour went to a mission group, who purpose is clean drinking water for kids and families. To support local farms, to help feed those in need. This is truly special ! So special that we went to www.ccm-world.org site and donated again when we got home.. this will be a lasting memory for everyone in my family! thank you so much and God Bless.

P.S.
We liked you so much we recommend you to all of our friend and our best friends just got back last week . they told us it was one of their best times they ever had ! this was a true gift to hear, your operation is truly commendable.

The two days trip with Amazing Tours?

I can just recommend!!
First day trip to place, where are connecting Amazonia and Monte Negro rivers, than lunch at camp, evening fishing of piranha with participation of dolphins and beautiful sunset. At night trip to meet and catch some alligators.
Next day really early wake up to see a beautiful sunrise. After breakfast trip to the river and rain forests with lecture about fauna and flora, how to climb on trees, how to make a rubber, which kind of flowers are dangerous, which are healthy, etc...
All time a lot of fun and meeting of new interesting peoples. Unbelievable peaceful and calm atmosphere...
If I can recommend, take more than just two days trip. You will have more fun and adventures.

Enjoy it and have a nice time there. I really had ;o)))

Hi Leonardo,

We made it out of manaus in one piece - we managed to find a taxi for the 5 of us to the airport for 40 Real.

The jungle tour was really good, we all enjoyed ourselves. the guides were really helpful, especially mike, but we didn´t realise we wouldn´t have a room and would have to sleep in hammocks for all 3 nights...!

Thanks for all your help organizing everything, we´re recovering on the beach in Bahia now!

Olá Pessoal!!

Fui para Manaus neste último feriado de 12 de outubro. Fiz uma viagem incrível! Recomendo a Amazônia para todos os brasileiros.

Como eu nao tinha muito tempo, contratei um tour de 3 dias pela selva. Fui com a Amazing Tours.
Tudo deu muito certo! E ainda no último dia, nosso guia nos levou para uma praia linda linda no Rio Negro, que nao estava previsto no roteiro.

Sem dúvidas, conhecer a floresta amazônica foi a coisa mais legal que eu fiz no Brasil.

Hi Leo....we are in Recife...having a lot of fun, enjoying the Carnaval...sorry that we answer you so late but we want to stay away from technology as much as possible...

We want to say : THANK YOU! On the way to Belem, having the chance to exchange our experince from Manaus with other people, we realized that your trip in the Amazon was the best, most complex, exciting and unforgetable. We were really proud realizing that.
THANK YOU again!!!!!!

A VIAGEM FOI MUITO BOA MESMO!!

Segui o roteiro que me propus e divulguei acima (mas só retornei na sexta de madrugada).

Dou meu aval pra todo o relato do Glauber! Assim, só vou postar aquilo que acho que acrescentaria algo pra futuros viajantes.

Antecipamente, só reservei a primeira noite de hotel em Manaus, um pacote Selva com saída na manhã seguinte e a noite com o tal Pajé Raimundo.

Pacote Selva: 2 dias e 1 noite, ao preço de R$240,00 por pessoa (preço para brasileiro), incluso o traslado do aeroporto ao hotel, transporte hotel-selva-hotel, todas as refeições na selva e 1 noite em cama. Achei um preço justo os R$240,00. Fiz com o Leonardo Mendes (fechei com ele devido a 1 ou 2 relatos que li sobre ele aqui.Antecipadamente depositei 1/3 do valor na conta dele. Ele cumpriu tudo o que prometeu. Pareceu-me bem confiável. Recomendo-o aos Mochileiros.
Eu tentei fechar com ele um dia/noite adicional no Pajé Raimundo, mas ele disse que não conseguiria isso, mas me liberou para negociar por minha conta com o Pajé e que ele poderia nos deixar lá no final do passeio da Amazing, sendo que eu que teria que dar um jeito do transporte Pajé Raimundo-Manaus. Assim que fiz. Deu tudo certo!!!
Contato: http://www.amazingtours.com.br - (92) 8165-1118 - leonardo@amazingtours.com.br

DICA em Manaus: combine o preço do táxi antes. É negociável e normalmente negociar é melhor que o valor do taxímetro. Por exemplo: centro à rodoviária. R$20,00 a 30,00. Retorno: R$30,00 a 40,00. Centro ao aeroporto: R$ 40,00 a 50,00.

Alguns minutos antes da partida para iniciar o pacote, o Leonardo nos ofereceu a tal noite adicional na selva (acampamento e tal), que não aceitamos por achar indiada em demasia! Eheh E por ser meio perigoso (achamos).
Também nos ofereceu um passeio para nadar com botos no segundo dia (ao invés de fazer a caminhada na selva, já incluída no pacote). Como minha parceira não iria ter tempo de conhecer Novo Airão, achamos que valeria a pena. Embora tenhamos achado muuuito caro o valor (R$140,00 para cada um de nós). Mas o passeio valeu muito a pena, sorte o temos fechado!!

Hey Leo,

The tour was great. It was a little different than we expected. I thought we were staying on a river boat, not at the lodge, but it didn't matter at all. The guides were great and we all had a good time.

Thanks for everything,

Cheers

Hi,

The tour was good. I enjoyed it very much. There was a small problem with the boat so we got to lunch very late. This limited the time we had for swimming and fishing. I would certainly recommend the tour to other people.

We were delighted to experience the majesty and the quiet of Amazonas, in the floating lodge on the Rio Negros. Leonardo, Joshua (our guide) and everyone else was attentive, from our arrival to our departure. And it was a big plus that we could make all of our arrangements on line.

"El crucero con Amazing Tours resultó fantástico, tanto el guía Elmo, como la cocinera y el personal del barco se portaron fantásticamente con simpatía y dejando elegir por nuestra cuenta el programa a realizar, pudimos dormir a orillas del Rio Negro en sitios de una belleza incomparables, visitar aldeas y su gente, charlas con ellos, hacer caminatas por la selva, pescar pirañas, hacer salidas nocturnas para ver caimanes, bañarnos con el delfin del Amazonas, en fin fue un inolvidable viaje en un barco sencillo pero provisto de todo lo necesario con una cocinera maravillosa que nos preparó unos suculentos platos, lo recomiendo muchísimo, nosotros, cinco españoles de Madrid hemos quedado muy satisfechos."

Bom dia. Realmente o passeio foi muito bom, a paisagem, os animais e tudo foi muito legal mesmo. Só achei um pouco corrido, mesmo porque a falta de horário foi minha....não podia perder o vôo de jeito nenhum. Se tivesse ido no barco grande com a turma toda não teria chegado a tempo. Vou ficar com os contatos de vocês, pois um dia destes vou retornar apenas para conhecer mais locais, não a trabalho. Gostaria muito de ir nos locais onde podemos nadar com os botos, os que vi eram cinza e não chegavam muito perto do barco.

I have had a wonderful full up day at the river, in Amazónia. The day began with a tour of the meeting waters between the river Negro and river Solimões. It is really fantastic the straight line formed between the black (Negro) part of the water and the brown one, from Solimões river. After that we went to see the Victoria Regia plant, that green, circular and lovely plant that grows in Amazonia rivers. Fantastic. And at last but not the least we went to a float restaurant, just in the middle of the river next to the jungle where we had a wonderful lunch. The fishing of the “piranha” fish, after lunch, was very quit and peaceful just in a canoe in the middle of the river. And the best was when that guy next to me fished a very big “piranha”. It was really a fantastic day. All the guides were on time, and the guide of the piranha fishing was incredible.
