Feedback Charlie & Peg Chace

Itinerary: Brasilia - Manaus - Amazon River Cruise on MY Tucano


Peg and I were totally satisfied with our recent tour.  We were well cared for at every location and all plans went smoothly. 
Our driver in Brazilia was very proud of the fact that he served as interpreter for President Obama just one week before we arrived.  He did a fine job of escorting us, although at first he took us to the Royal Tulip, which was quickly corrected.  By the dress of the people in the lobby, we knew that we didn't belong there.  The city tour was generally good.  We visited one chapel and one cathedral that were both beautiful.  We could have done without the long drive past endless entrances to various embassies. 
The rooms at the Tropical Manaus were very good.  We quickly realized that there one pays for the overall features; pools, activities, zoo, security, resturants and shops.  We never looked at any rooms other then the luxury rooms you booked for us, but based on our experience, I would recomment that you use the lu\xury rooms for anyone staying more then one night. 
The cruise was a complete thrill.  We had 13 passangers.  Guides told us that over 15 gets crowded, and we believe that, due to the size of the dining room and competition for hot water during the 1/2 hour/day that it is offered.  We did several trips/day either hiking in the forest or in canoes.  Each trip had new experiences.  I shot over 600 pictures. 
Thank you for recommending this tour.  It will be a cherished memory. 
We would be pleased to recommend this excursion to anyone.

Feedback Lincoln & Patricia Widmer

Itinerary: 5 days/4 nights Bonito with overnights at the Wetiga Hotel

Just a short note to follow-up our delightful trip to Brazil.
For all of us, the Bonito visit turned out well beyond our "wildest"
expectations when it comes to natural diversity and beauty.
Our guide, Mr. Ulli Brauer make us feel at home in Bonito with his
personal attention to details and his in-depth knowledge and love of
nature.
We would highly recommend his guiding service to anyone serious in
understanding the regional ecology of this region.
Although the rooms at Wetiga Hotel were comfortable, it was our
impression that most outdoor facilities were not functioning during our
visit and that staff were unhappy with their work. Overall, the hotel
stay was not good value for the money and we cannot recommend the place.

Thanks you for attention and support in organizing this enjoyable
holiday for us.
Best regards,
Lincoln Widmer
