I highly recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting the Monteverde Cloud Forest. Our guide, Andrey, was absolutely amazing. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the forest and all of the creatures living within it; especially birds, considering he has been researching and studying birds of Costa Rica for years. Visiting the forest would have been lovely, but it would not have been the same without Andrey as our guide. My friend and I have both found a new appreciation and love of birds.

I saw and learned so much about the animals all around me, none of which I would have been able to spot without my guide!

We went with Oscar. where do we start to explain what an absolutely delight it was to be with him. obviously a super nature lover and a person that excites you for the adventure you are about to have. 3 minutes into the park we saw the quetzal, a humming bird mama nesting, peccaries crossing the trail and so much more. we kept talking about this fantastic adventure for the entire day and night. absolutely 100% recommended and hands down the best guide ever - Oscar, thank you we were blessed to have you

We had Steven as our guide and he was the best guide I've had to date!
It turned out there were only 4 of us in our group which was great as I wasn't sure how big they would let them get. We saw many animals and birds, and Steven was so informative and we learned more than we anticipated. I would definitely do it again as I imagine it's never the same experience.

Such a memorable experience! Our guide taught us a lot of interesting facts about the rainforest. We were also very lucky to see many rare birds like a quetzal and a toucan!

Getting a guide for the Cloud Forest is a MUST; and our guide, Oscar, was amazing! HIGHLY recommend! He was very knowledgeable about the environment and various creatures we saw in reserve. Had we not been with him for our walk, we would have missed out on so many species and would have never learned so much about the surrounding environment. We saw a Queztal, Spider monkeys, couple species of Tucans, a tarantula, and various other birds, to name a few. One thing I noticed Oscar had that no other guide had was a phone attachment for the scope so that you could easily take pictures with his phone through the scope and watch the creatures live on the phone screen rather than having to fumble with your own phone and try to peek through the scope. If you are debating about getting a guide, STOP contemplating and just book it!

Our guide Oscar was very informative and friendly. He knew all the different types of animals we saw and was able to spot them miles away. Be aware there is an additional $25 park entrance fee per person, this is only for the guide; however well worth it.
