Description
Our tour starts from your hotel from where we will head to the historical center of Manaus, you'll be able to see the facades of the buildings with the marks of neo classic style that was the look of Manaus during the rubber boom. Let's walk through an area called "the old Manaus" which can give a clear understanding of the wealthiest era that our region held. We'll visit a museum that used to be the city hall and gives us a good understanding of the history of the capital of the Amazonas state. We'll visit the Amazonas Opera House and understand how so many materials and artists were brought from Europe to the jungle to build a place that remains a symbol of this beautiful era. We'll head to the market complex to see the three buildings know as the banana market, the fish market and the municipal market, each holding its unique beauty.

It was a good tour with stops at markets, the Opera House, a rubber baron's palace, and a drive around the city. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English.
Thank you for your feedback. Regards. Milton Fernandes

Samuel the driver of our tour was very nice and had a good attitude. Marcello the guide had excellent communication skills and is very passionate about his country. His English was impeccable and his knowledge of local history and overall information he gave us were very helpful to understand the culture and life of the region. We all highly recommend him for your guided tours in Manaus.
Thank you very much for your feedback Best regards Milton Fernandes
Our Guide HEDGE was fabulous! He made the tour!! We enjoyed the market but unfortunately, the opera house was under minor renovations. Apparently they do this every January. It was still great to see! The rubber barons home was interesting to.
Thank you very much fo your feedback. regards, Milton Fernandes

Definitely worth doing! I loved my guide and learned so much. I was so happy that I did this my first day to get the lay of the land.
Thank you very much for your feedback We're glad to see we've reached your expectations. Best regards, Milton Fernandes
This was a great tour. The Manaus Opera house is a real gem. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating to those who had mobility issues. I recommend this tour.
Thank you very much for your evaluation, Hope to see you again. Milton Fernandes
The tour started out a little rough with the guide showing up with a compact car to pick up 4 adult not skinny people. This is the be aware that the vehicle used on tours in Manaus might not be your SUV or van type of vehicle. The next disappointment was that the Opera House was closed that afternoon due to an upcoming event. Not the tour guides fault but still disappointing. Since it was rainy season we were continually dodging rainstorms. But overall we saw some interesting museums and markets and the guide was very informative about the places we saw and visited. I would recommend this tour with the caveat that if cramped transportation isn’t your style then verify what size of vehicle is being used up front. These tours advertise air conditioned vehicle but don’t indicate size.
Thank you for your feedback. Sorry for the size of the car we use in Manaus. Milton Fernandes
Our guide was patient and helpful. Communication prior to tour was excellent. So helpful to have a car take us from place to place. Interaction with local people is always an education.
Thank you for your evaluation Regards, Milton Fernandes
Arrived on a "pathetic" 5 hour late cruise. Joao (John) was waiting and showed us an nice tour. Behind the scenes and skipping the lines at crowded venues. As a native, John had an incredible knowledge of Manaus, and knew how to relay it to us in perfect English. HIghly Recommended
Thank you very much for your evaluation, Hope to have you back one day, Milton Fernandes
