“Gray Line Brazil is the best! They took care of me during my tour of the Brazil side of the falls. After my tour of the Argentina side booked with C2Rio was cancelled, I called Gray Line and they went out of their way to give me a private tour of the Argentina side. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and take care of everything! I highly recommend them for any tour they offer!”

“Escursione bellissima, abbiamo potuto vedere tre attrazioni iconiche con scenari fantastici in totale tranquillità e confort, senza fretta e nei tempi giusti. Eravamo solo noi due su un'auto climatizzata, il nostro autista faceva anche da guida. molto bravo e preparato. Aveva anche il permesso per guidare all'interno del parco di Iguaçù, così abbiamo raggiunto il sentiero per le cascate comodamente in auto, senza prendere il pullman obbligatorip del parco. Attività assolutamente consigliata.”
