The six hour tour only took two. The dept of health had closed down the city due to a COVID outbreak. Everything was closed. Can’t really blame the operator. Probably also went faster because there were just the two of us.

Tony met us at our hotel for a private tour of Monteverde Cloud Forest Preserve. We learned about the national parks vs preserves, beehives in root systems, found a tarantula den, identified hummingbirds, other birds, and waited patiently for the (endangered) Resplendent Quetzal. We’d missed them in our previous tour, unfortunately. This time, with Tony’s knowledge of the area and the birds’ habits, as well as some luck (can’t control wild birds!) we watched as the female returned to the nest to swap out incubating the egg. We watched and listened to their communication and flights. Tony had a great scope and took lots of photos/videos through it for us. We were even lucky enough to spot a tayra run across our path! The hike was only mildly strenuous at one point, trying to get to a different tree they had been trying to build a new nest in. We asked a lot of questions, and Tony could answer them all. Thanks!!

I did 2 Tours with them, with 2 different Tourguides and can highly recommend it! The first one was in the morning at Curi-Cancha Reserve, where we saw a Quetzal, different types of Hummingbirds, Howlermonkeys and a lot more. The Curi Cancha Reserve itself is very beautyful and quiet, i went there again in the afternoon for a long walk and would definately go again. The Nighttour was at the Wildlife Refuge Monteverde, where i saw a Slot, Scorpions, a Salamander, Snakes and Birds, such an experience, a musst do while in Monterverde! I had so much fun, they really do a great Job!

I was in Costa Rica in January, now I have traveled to Colombia. I have waited several months but I cannot shake how HORRIBLE this tour was. We were supposed to have a tour bus but was instead packed into a sedan. At some point the tour guide was alluding to us going to a nicer restaurant and having us pay for his lunch because the office "did not send the money over" for the included meal. I have been on many tours before and many after but this one was easily the worst. Our tour guide was out taking pictures of his own on every site instead of actually guiding us. What took the cake was when we thought we were going to see a coffee plantation but instead he pulls over on the side of the road to a ditch to show us mounds of dirt that supposedly were growing coffee and he said he couldn't take us to an actual plantation because "The Nicaraguans are harder working and the Costa Rican youth are always on their phones now so it won't be worth it". We paid 100+ dollars EACH for a glorified taxi ride across the country. 0/10 don't recommend
