Francis was a great guide to see Itaipu Dam with. He was very flexible and went above and beyond to ensure I had an enjoyable day, including an impromptu tour of Foz do Iguaçu when I had extra time before my flight. The dam is fascinating to visit and is a worthwhile supplement to the experience of seeing the falls.

Just a few lines to say how satisfied we were with our trip to the Itapúa Dam and the Iguassu falls. Francis was our guide. He was excellent. Very courteous and most informative about the area. I would recommend him to any potential travel in the area and likewise recommend Tours by Locals-They are the real professionals. Thank you Francis and tours by locals again for making our trip a memorable and most enjoyable one.
