Experience the Best of Iguazu Falls with a Fully Private, Guided Tour

If you’re pressed for time but still craving a full taste of Iguazu Falls, this Full Day Falls with Tour is tailored for you. For around $150 per person, you get a private, guided experience that covers the highlights of both the Brazilian and Argentine sides of the waterfalls in roughly 6 to 8 hours. Your tour is led by an accredited guide, who will transport you comfortably in an exclusive vehicle, making it an ideal option for couples or families wanting a hassle-free day.
Two features we particularly love are the personalized attention from a knowledgeable guide and the flexibility in schedule and pace that private transportation affords. It’s a smooth, stress-free way to see the falls without the crowds or the hassle of navigating on your own. A potential drawback? Since tickets and meals are not included, you’ll need to plan for those separately, which is worth considering if you’re watching your budget.

An In-Depth Look at the Full Day Falls Tour

If you’re considering exploring Iguazu Falls in a single day, this private tour offers a convenient and comprehensive way to do it. The full-day itinerary is designed to give you a balanced view of both the Brazilian and Argentine sides—two very different perspectives on the same breathtaking spectacle.
What’s Included and What’s Not
For $150, your package includes private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle and a dedicated, accredited guide who will accompany your group throughout. This means you don’t have to worry about figuring out the logistics or navigating the parks alone. Your guide will organize the day, help skip lines where possible, and keep the pace comfortable.
However, keep in mind that tickets for the parks and meals are not included. You might find that purchasing tickets in advance saves time, and bringing snacks or planning where to eat will avoid delays.
The Experience of the Tour
From the meeting point in downtown Foz do Iguaçu, your guide will pick you up at the agreed time—usually between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM, depending on your preference. Traveling in a private, exclusive vehicle means you can enjoy the scenery and relax rather than struggle with public transport or crowded group tours.

The main attraction of this tour is the chance to see both sides of Iguazu Falls in one day—something that many travelers find challenging on their own. The Brazilian side offers a panoramic view, perfect for stunning photos and getting a sense of the sheer magnitude of the waterfalls. The Argentine side, on the other hand, features more extensive trails and closer views of the falls, giving you a feeling of being right in the midst of the roar and spray.
What You’ll Experience on the Brazilian Side
Your guide will take you to the Brazilian park, where you’ll enjoy walkways that frame the falls with breathtaking vistas. Reviewers mention the spectacular views and the green forest that adds a vibrant backdrop. As one reviewer shared, “All very beautiful, Iguazu Falls are a wonder, you rechannel positive energy, the green forest is impressive.”
What to Expect on the Argentine Side
The Argentine side offers more extensive trails, allowing you to get closer to the waterfalls. You might also have the opportunity for some spectacular photos—many reviewers emphasize the professional photos they took with guide-provided equipment. Your guide will help you navigate the best viewpoints and ensure you don’t miss the highlight spots.

Transportation and Scheduling: Why It Matters

The exclusive vehicle is a real advantage, especially given the size and popularity of Iguazu Falls. It allows for better timing adjustments, avoiding the typical crowds or wait times at the park entrances. Plus, the comfort of air conditioning and private space makes a big difference, especially during the hot or humid months.
While the tour runs seven days a week, starting from 7:00 AM, flexibility is key. Your guide can help plan the best time to visit, potentially avoiding the heaviest crowds. This is especially valuable if you want to maximize your time and avoid long lines for tickets.
