Amazing at what he does - Jonny was so nice! A very sincere and kind person. He was very impressive. We couldn't believe how fast he was able to find birds, and direct his telescope directly to them for us to see. Improved the reserve experience by so much.

We can tell Johnny loves nature! - Johnny was such a fun guide - my partner and I really enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about the flora & fauna of Curicancha. Johnny also provided great recommendations for the wider area and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time possible in Monteverde. We’ll definitely book another tour next time we visit!

Good tour for bird watching - I had Kevin as my guide and he was very good and experienced. He spoke English well and asked what I most hoped to see. I had a good time walking around the reserve and was happy to see toucans several times (although no quetzel, alas). I take a star off because the tour was advertised as a 3-hour tour (although the small print said 2.5 hours), but it was exactly 2 hours. I didn't mind that so much, but it is not accurate advertising.
