Wonderfully insightful tour! - Roy was an amazing guide. Walking through the forest has really made me realize the impact of climate change on sensitive ecosystems such as rain forest.

Would definitely recommend! - Lovely tour, Roy knows a lot about the flora and fauna in the reserve and spots the animals very quickly; we were lucky to have spotted the Quetzal! Very kind and relaxed, would recommend booking this tour.

Expert in the field - Wow. Thank you Roy for showing us the beauty and wildlife of the Monteverde Cloud Forest. Roy located so many interesting animals, birds, reptiles, flora.. his eye for spotting then was almost a superpower. His explanations were fantastic and his love for ecology really shined. Roy really is an expert and I cannot recommend his tour enough!

Fun experience in Monteverde - My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our walk with Roy. He was a great guide and shared a lot of good info on the cloud forest while we looked for wildlife. Obviously you are never guaranteed to see animals because this is not a zoo but he was very good at spotting wildlife and pointing it out to us. Highly recommend a tour with Roy!!

Good experience - Ir was Nice, we saw a motmot..and the guide knew his business! Didn’t like the feeders in the colibri restaurant though, not a good thing for the plants they need to pollenize..

The tour guide (Roy) was... - The tour guide (Roy) was great. Super friendly and attentive! Small group so able to ask quetions and tend to everyone in the group. Only recommendation is to do a walking tour at night, you will most likely see more animals as during the day a lot of animals are hibernating. We did get to see some birds, and a snake and ant eater like animals forgot what they were called).

Sadly not much wildlife - The guide made did good, considering the lack of wildlife on the morning I went. He was knowledgeable and friendly, but the highlight of the tour was the hummingbird garden you go to at the end, which is free anyway.

FRAUD - Never actually received the tour I was supposed to get with no attempt to make it right - This guide committed fraud. I booked the experience the day before. The guide didn't contact me to tell me the location was closed and suggest a different location until 2 hrs before the booking, when we were already on our way and out of cellphone range. When I noted that to the guide, he never responded. I requested a refund due to not receiving the service but they refuse to help with this.
