Dear Luciana,
As promised, I herewith send you our feedback.
CITY TOURS.
Manaus is a nice place to spend a day, especially before/after the jungle tours.
Our trip to the Meeting of the Waters was perfectly organized. Transportation, boat, program and lunch were all OK.
ARIAÚ TOWERS.
Ariaú Towers is a great location, although it might need some maintenance. Several shops were closed, which gave the property a bit downgraded look.. We were first given a small room, next to the scaffolding with generator at the back side of our tower. After we requested for another room, we got a much larger room with nice view. Rooms are very noisy, but that’s similar to the way it was constructed. Our (second) room was very nice, had a nice veranda. The food in the restaurant was excellent. The program was OK, the walkways through the property and along the Rio Negro were wonderful. Facultative excursions are far overpriced, drinks were also much more expensive than in Manaus. But still, I would recommend this place to others.
AMAZONAS BY VIVERDE.
We had a tight schedule in Brazil, so it was important for us to arrange excursions and jungle tour in advance. My emails regarding these items, previous to the reservation, were answered quickly and correctly. In fact, this was the main reason why we had the confidence to book our excursion and jungle tour at Viverde. We are very satisfied about the services by Viverde (including the transportation from the airport to our hotel) and will surely recommend your services to other travellers.
Best regards,
Paul Beerts.
