Most certainly the trip with you was one of our highlights whilst on the Amazon.  I promise I will add to trip advisor and cruise critic when I have a little more time.

I have to say that you were most knowledgeable and passionate about your home and the historical information given was also most interesting.  I will also treasure your little booklet.  The fruits, nuts, fish and drinks offered to us were most welcome, delicious and came as a pleasant surprise. Your crew were kind and helpful too. It was a fantastic day and we enjoyed it immensely!  It was just a pity we only had one day to share with you; we certainly could have spent longer in your company and gaining more insight into your beautiful Amazon area.

Please feel free to quote me.

Thanks

Superb Amazon wildlife tour with an excellent guide

I was recommended Gil as a guide on our day trip to Santarem by cruise ship and the recommendation couldn't have been better! Gil was extremely knowledgeable, welcoming, enthusiastic and generous with his time. It was a delight to see a guide still get so excited seeing the wildlife he must see on a daily basis and it was infectious. We were kept entertained with the stories of his childhood and family life in Brazil as well as being very well fed and watered throughout the trip. This was by far the best trip of our cruise and we wouldn't hesitate to use Gil again in Santarem or elsewhere. Highly recommended, one of the best out there. :)

A brief visit to Terra Rica

Amazing Tapajos National Forest

What a day

Floodplain Exploration

Ooops another one

Amazing tour of the beautiful Amazon-Gil is fantastic!!!

We were fortunate enough to go on a tour with Gil Serique out of Santarem, Brazil. We saw so much wildlife and learned so much history. He has such a positive, upbeat view of the world that it made the tour so much fun. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. We loved it.

New review on Trip Advisor

If you are going to the Amazon - you gotta connect with this guy!

For many of us who travel to the Amazon, it is a bucket list item, and you want to get as much out of the experience as you can. I can guarantee that Gil Serique will make sure that happens for you. It can even start before you leave home. Gil is available (by e-mail) to answer questions, arrange to customize your experience if you like (we were a large group of cruisers stopping for a day), and even put contingency plans in place if need be (a must for us cruisers!). He and his team are an enthusiastic bunch and will keep you informed and entertained the whole time you are with them. Their English is superb, and they go out of their way to bring the Amazon to life for you, answering any and all questions that you care to throw at them, and showing you as much as they can in the time you have to spend with them. Being local, they know the area like the back of their hand. Their rates are reasonable and they simply knock themselves out to please you. They ensure all who travel with them are kept safe and go out of their way to help anyone with special needs (e.g. difficulty walking). I cannot say enough good things about Gil and hope you get to meet him on your travels through the Amazon. You won't be disappointed. Brenda and Dan
