Incredible tour with an incredible guide - We had a wonderful tour with Juan Carlos today and are so glad we booked him! There were so many animals we would never have spotted ourselves, and he knew many interesting facts about the rainforest and all the plants. We highly recommend booking with him!

Juan Carlos was AMAZING! Highly recommend a tour with him!!! - Juan Carlos is an amazing tour guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable, energetic, personable, and really helped us understand the cloud forest. A 3-hour tour with him just flew by - and i should note that i had my 2 teenagers with me and they loved it as well! We all learned so much. It was an unforgettable and life-changing experience. I highly recommend doing a tour with him - and honestly if you are going to do anything in Costa Rica id say to visit the cloud forest and try and get Juan Carlos as your guide.

Very pleasant guide with the right priorities - Juan Carlos knew his way around and had an answer to every one of our questions! He steered our tour away from the larger tourist gatherings, but still made sure we could see the most relevant animals.

Very interesting and worthwhile tour - The tour with Juan Carlos was more than worth it. He knows so much about the plants, nature and animals, so you can take a lot with you and there is something to be amazed about at every corner! He is also not necessarily looking for animals or focusing only on the animals, but simply conveys an entire package of a good mix. Always happy!

10/10 - The guided tour was amazing! Juan is a very funny and sympathic guide who knows a lot about the forest, especially the fauna. We learned a lot and it did feel very personal. Would definitively recommend for everyone who wants an amazing introduction to the forest on one of the path and later explore the rest on their own. Thank you, Juan!
