A really good day. Our guide Bhrenno was excellent. Very friendly and informative. This trip to the Argentinian side includes all entrance fees. The boat trip was really good fun and great to see the falls so close up. Gregtur Tourism kept in touch via WhatsApp which is really helpful. There was only three of us and it can be up to fifteen but All in all well worth the money!
