First time booking with Kim Kim and it went really well. Family of 5, traveling with 3 teens (18, 16, 14.). Bruno was very responsive from the beginning and throughout the trip. Transfers, activities, everything was seamless. We really enjoyed our guides- Hannah in Rio de Janeiro, Edison in Foz do Iguaçu and Antonio at Tupana Lodge. Bruno answered all my questions promptly before and during the trip. The guides were helpful in their respective cities. I think I would have liked maybe a step up in accommodations but I’m also not sure the price difference, etc. All our accommodations were nice but not fancy. And I definitely wasn’t fully prepared for what we were getting into in the Amazon. It was a memorable experience but would not be for everyone! Overall a wonderful family trip through Brazil!

Hotel Reviews
Arena Leme Hotel
Rio de Janeiro

Great location. Basic room accommodations but nothing fancy. Pool and rooftop patio small if you are wanting to lay out and sun/pool may not be the place for you.

Hotel Intercity Manaus
Manaus

A bit run down but overall clean. We saw flight crew checking in so must be a regular spot. For a quick stopover spot to get to Amazon it was fine. We got stuck in Manaus and the airport sent us to another hotel that was really worn down and gross so maybe the hotel standards in Manaus are just poor?

Only one towel in our room, asked for a second and it never came. Rooms and hallways run down.
