    Tour leader was excellant. Felt there could be an improvement on organisation eg first Sunday some latecomeres were not told when the briefing would take plce, no table booked at Belam on first Sunday despite it was obvoius it would be busy - people split up. Time to walk etc was underestimated

    Absolutely loved the excursions in small boats throughout the trip. I wasn't expecting to see a great deal of wildlife, but was happily surprised. The guide on the private boat was excellent. Really good on walks, and also on boat excursions and fishing. Seeing the 'Meeting of the waters' in Manaus was great. The time on Marajo island was excellent. It's a shame we could have slightly more time there instead of having to leave when it was still dark. Lots of highlights, even just seeing the scale of the river. We visited a tribe as listed in the itinerary, and another arranged by local guide to help substitute not being able to camp in the jungle. Both visits we excellent. Really lovely and special to be able to swim in the river and cool off at the end of a hot day. The private boat was excellent, and sleeping in hammocks for a few days was a great experience, and one I'll remember for a long time.

    The private charter from Manaus. I enjoyed the boat itself, all the activities and our local guide was superb.
