Itinerary
The tour begins with an internal visit to the centennial Adolpho Lisboa Municipal Market which has splendid iron architecture in Art Nouveau, located on the banks of the Rio Negro.
The itinerary also contemplates one of the main avenues of the historic center, called Sete de Setembro, which opens the way to the Rio Negro Palace.
The next place of internal visit is the Museum of the Indian, where is sheltered more than a thousand pieces (arms, musical instruments, clothes and domestic utensils). Through this collection, derived from the Salesian missions, it is possible to know the way of life in the villages of the Indians of the Upper Rio Negro (Yanomami, Tukano, among others).
We also pass by the Provincial Mansion (Police Square), a former command of the Military Police that was initially built to be the residence of the Captain of the National Guard, Custódio Garcia.
It is also possible to visit the Largo de São Sebastião, which houses the refined historical monument of the opening of the ports to the friendly nations
Finally we visit the imposing Amazon Theater, inaugurated in 1896 and one of the main tourist attractions in Manaus. It is also the symbol of the golden age of rubber and the purest expression of the Belle Époque, the height of beauty, innovation and peace among European countries.

A very beautiful and cultural tour. The city is full of stories and curiosities, and the guide Fernanda is extremely friendly and attentive. We were very happy with the trip! It was a little hot, wear light clothes so you don't sweat too much!
Great tour if you are looking for a way to experience the main attractions in Manaus and learn some history along the way! It was just my friend and I with our guide, so he let us choose some of the destinations we wanted to go to, which was awesome! Car was clean and nice - tour guide was excellent - and gave us cold bottled water during the tour - would totally recommend 😊

Prezada Nanciluca, Obrigado pela sua avaliação! Que bom que você gostou do seu passeio conosco. Esperamos vê-los em outras viagens. Obrigado. Pedro Malta em nome de Diogo M.
Booked the afternoon trip and was told the pickup time was 7:45 am. After several emails which were replied to promptly the pick up time was changed to 12:45pm No big deal The driver arrived promptly then we went to another hotel where we waited 40 minutes for another group. After they boarded we drove to another hotel where we waited 15 minutes and picked up more guests and then to another hotel to pick up the guide Our group was English speaking the other groups were not. The guide could speak some English but had trouble understanding us. By the end of the trip he was speaking almost exclusively Portugese. It took 2 hours after tour was over to get back to our hotel. Other guests and the guide were dropped off first This is the first negative review I have left on trip advisor and we use it often. Based on our experience I cannot recommend this tour for anyone
Dear Richard H, Thank you for your review. We apologize there were a few delays during pick ups due to delays from other guests. The guide is accredited by the Tourism Ministry as English Speaking and is quite experienced. We are sorry that he might have focused on portuguese due to the numbers of portuguese speaking guests being higher. The guide shoul definitely attend to all guests and we apologize. Please note that the pick ups and drop-offs are a courtersy to guest that might wish to skip to the last departure point if they choose so. Depending on the location of the hotel there is a chance that you might end up participating more pick ups and drop-offs than other guests. Thank you. Pedro Malta on behalf of Diogo M.
It was an emergence in the history of Brazil. Passionate, Super recommend walking through the center and enjoy the gastronomy taking the juices of exotic fruits.
As the capital of the Amazon, it is the center of operations for all circuits in the area. It is worth dedicating a day or two to wander around and capture its Mood as an important commercial port, appreciate the buildings of its golden era (must see the Amazon Theater and the Municipal Market), have a beer in one of its squares and contemplate how the life of its inhabitants goes.
How good to know that the people have always worked hard, but never forgotten the leisure. The search for knowledge and culture.
Went here as part of a cruise to the Amazon rainforest people were fantastic really safe to wander around and plenty to see
<p>Excellent guide and an fine driver. Altogether great! Thanks</p>
