Tour description
The trip starts early in the morning with Pick-Up at your hotel in Buenos Aires and transfer in a private vehicle to the airport to take your direct flight to Iguazu.
After arriving in Iguazu, meet your guide and board a private vehicle. You will arrive at Iguazu National Park after a 15-minute drive. Skip the line with your reserved admission tickets. Climb aboard the train with your guide, stopping at the Cataratas Station after an 8-minute trip. Walking along the path, be amazed by the view of the waterfalls on the Argentinian side. At midday, follow your guide to the food center and enjoy a little rest and lunch (own expense) before taking the train to the Garganta del Diablo Station, further into the forest.
Garganta del Diablo (The Devil's Throat) is the biggest fall in Iguazu, and the catwalks take you right on top of it! Be surprised and amazed by the strength and volume of water, which creates a permanent fog above the fall. Since this is a private tour, you can determine the pace that suits you. After spending a day being astonished by the park's many falls, your guide will take you back to Iguazu Airport in a private vehicle to catch your flight back to Buenos Aires. When you arrive at Buenos Aires airport, a private driver will be waiting for you to take you back to your hotel.

We had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Our driver met us promptly at the cruise port and took us to the airport. Upon landing at IGR, we were greeted by our guide, Mattias, who was both knowledgeable and flexible. He ensured we made the most of our limited time in the park, offering insights and adjusting to our pace. At the end of the day, we were taken to the airport on time, and once we landed back in Buenos Aires, the same driver who started our day was there to greet us and return us to the ship. Everything ran seamlessly—highly recommended!

We had the absolute pleasure of exploring the Argentinian side of Iguazú Falls with Emanuel Tapia, and it was hands-down one of the best guiding experiences of our lives. From the moment we started, Emanuel demonstrated exceptional knowledge—not just of the park’s layout, but of its geology, ecology, cultural history, and even the political dynamics surrounding water in the region. Despite our tight schedule (we had to return to Buenos Aires that evening), Emanuel made sure we saw everything. He navigated us through lines and crowds with ease, maximizing our time and ensuring we never felt rushed. He even helped us find the best camera angles at each viewpoint—something we really appreciated! One of the highlights came during a late afternoon thunderstorm, when he guided us to a spot where we were lucky enough to see toucans in the trees—an unforgettable sight. Emanuel’s passion for the area, his deep expertise, and his ability to create such a smooth, enriching experience truly made this trip extraordinary. Iguazú Falls itself is a wonder of the world—breathtaking and powerful—but having a guide like Emanuel made it all the more special.

I had an incredible day on this tour, thanks to Emmanuel’s excellent guidance. He thoughtfully adjusted the itinerary to accommodate the hot weather and my personal comfort level, which made a big difference. His deep knowledge of the region’s history and the park was truly impressive, and he shared it in a way that was both engaging and informative. Emmanuel also had a keen eye for spotting wildlife, which added an exciting element to the tour. While it was a long day, it was absolutely worth the time and money. I’d highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore the area with a knowledgeable and considerate guide.

Ich hatte das große Glück, den Nationalpark mit meiner Reiseführerin Anna zu erkunden, die mich kompetent und herzlich in meiner Landessprache begleitet hat. Dadurch konnte ich noch intensiver in die Natur und die Kultur der Region eintauchen. Auch die gesamte Organisation – von den Transfers bis hin zum Flug – lief absolut reibungslos. Eine rundum tolle Erfahrung!

This was an amazing tour! Emmanuel is hands down the best tour guide I’ve ever had (and I’ve been on quite a few tours). He was incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely funny, and seemed to know everyone in the park, which made the experience even more personal and enjoyable. Emmanuel and Jose, our driver, were always punctual and really attentive to our preferences. I would 100% choose Emmanuel again for a future tour — worth every penny!

We can’t say enough good things about our private tour with BA TOUR GUIDE to Iguazú Falls. From start to finish, the communication was clear and precise — which was crucial, as we were on a tight schedule. Our driver picked us up from the hotel right on time at around 5 a.m. for the flight from Buenos Aires to Iguazú. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by our guide Analia and a local driver. Analia was an outstanding tour guide — knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate. She shared fascinating insights about the flora, fauna, and the history of the falls, enriching the entire experience. We also chose to do the optional boat tour to the falls — highly recommended! Analia helped us coordinate everything seamlessly, ensured we caught the departure on time, and was waiting for us when we returned. The true testament to BA TOUR GUIDE excellence came when there was a glitch with our return flight. Analia and the BA Tours team went above and beyond to make sure we got back to Buenos Aires in time for our next tour. Their professionalism gave us complete peace of mind — we felt confident knowing every detail was being handled by seasoned experts. This tour was worth every penny and more — truly a highlight of our trip!

Iguazú Falls is absolutely magnificent, and our visit was made even more memorable thanks to our amazing guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all our questions thoughtfully. Beyond the stunning views, he helped us see and appreciate details about the environment that we never would have noticed on our own. What really stood out was the care he took in tailoring the experience to our group's abilities and limitations — we felt truly looked after the entire time. Everyone involved through Viator, from the tour operator to the transport drivers, was top-notch. The coordination was seamless, the service exceptional, and the entire experience unforgettable. Can you tell we had a great time? Because we really, really did!

We had an amazing experience visiting Iguazú Falls. Everything was so well organized from start to finish. Our driver picked us up from the hotel on time, and upon arrival at the Iguazú airport, both the guide and driver were ready and waiting—no time wasted getting us to the national park. Our guide spoke excellent English, was very professional, and shared fascinating historical insights about the falls. Even when our return flight was unexpectedly delayed until midnight, they made sure someone was there to pick us up at the airport. The level of service was outstanding. We highly recommend this tour—it truly exceeded our expectations!

The falls were absolutely breathtaking, and our tour guide, Carola, was superb.

Her care and attention made all the difference. It was a truly thoughtful and unforgettable visit!

Even though the falls were flooded, the company quickly adjusted our itinerary so we could still enjoy the experience, and we’re so glad they did. Our guide, Gastón, did a fantastic job explaining everything and making sure we were comfortable throughout the day. He even helped us with a change at the airport and made sure we were all set before saying goodbye. We felt like we were in great hands the entire time!

This was a wonderful day trip from Buenos Aires! Everything went as described — our driver picked us up and brought us back to our hotel, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. It was just me and my husband, and we had a truly private tour with our guide, Gaston, who met us at the airport. His English was excellent, and he was a pleasure to talk to throughout the day. It was an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommend!

From start to finish, everything about my day trip was excellent, including the flights and hotel. Ana, my tour guide, was exemplary: not only knowledgeable and informative but also a genuinely positive and engaging conversationalist. Our driver was equally impressive, skilled and reliable throughout. Iguazu is an absolute must-see. The river, the mighty falls, and the incredible flora and fauna are nothing short of awe-inspiring, truly greater than life. One especially memorable moment was the approach to the airport, which is uniquely located within a protected area. As we descended, it felt like landing in the middle of a vast broccoli field, completely surrounded by lush, untouched forest. This journey is one I will never forget!

This was definitely one of the highlights of our South America experience! The falls were absolutely breathtaking, and the entire day trip went off without a hitch.

A truly unforgettable adventure from start to finish.

A fabulous day trip from start to finish, an absolutely amazing experience! We were guided by Gaston, who was fantastic throughout. We had plenty of time to explore this magical and magnificent set of falls, and the day was topped off with an exhilarating high-speed boat ride right up to one of the falls, also arranged by Gaston. Be sure to bring a swimming costume, you’ll get soaked, but it’s completely worth it! Other unforgettable highlights included watching toucans fly freely in their natural habitat and seeing an incredible variety of colorful butterflies. Truly a fabulous adventure all around!

No photo, video, or words can truly capture their grandeur. You must see them in person to fully experience their awe-inspiring power and beauty. It’s something you can’t explain, only feel.

Perfect MUST-DO Day Tour! Well-organized from start to finish, from hotel pickup to the airplane logistics and back to BA. We were picked up at 5:00 AM to catch the 6:30 AM flight to Iguazu. Upon arrival, we were greeted by our guide, who stayed with us the entire day until our return flight. Our 4:30 PM flight was slightly delayed, but we were back at our BA hotel by 8:00 PM. Iguazu Falls is a must-see, truly one of the world’s natural wonders.

Very well-organized day trip with excellent communication. The falls themselves were spectacular, and our wonderful guide, Gaston, arranged the boat trip for us. It was an extra cost, but absolutely worth it to get so close to the falls and experience the full power of the water (and get drenched in the process!). Highly recommended!

Nature’s best, with an amazing guide. She knew every plant and animal, making the experience even more enriching. I was initially skeptical about how the timing would work out, but everything was perfectly coordinated, our driver even waited for our delayed evening flight. It was a day trip we’ll never forget!
