Beatriz is the best!!! - Beatriz was absolutely amazing. We just had our tour today and our entire group was blown away by not only her knowledge, but how effectively she communicated her knowledge and engaged everyone in the group. We would go again on this same tour with Beatriz if we had time in our trip!!!

Excellent tour - Deyber was a great guide! Highly recommended! We saw a toucan, its nest, hummingbirds, quetzal, peccary, agouti, a leaf stick insect etc. All would have been absolutely impossible to spot on our own. Our guide really had a very good eye for finding these things, setting up the scope to see them and telling us a lot of background information about the animals, birds and forest. Even managed to get some great pictures from his scope!

Interesting tour in a beautiful park - A very interesting tour with a knowledgable guide in a beautiful park. We saw some animals, insects and birds (also the quezal!). The colibri cafe with the hummingbirds was amazing. We recommend to book the tour early in the morning because it gets crowded very quickly. After the tour you can hike for yourself as long as you want what we did (it was very nice as well).

We saw our first Quetzal in the first 10 min of our tour - Our guide did his very best to help us see the creatures and the birds . He had keen eyesight and with the use of his spotting scope was able to help us see so many things we would have missed going on our own.

Great experience - highly recoomend! - Deyber was incredible! I highly recommend this tour for people interested in seeing birds and learning about the cloud forest. Deyber is from the area and you can see he has a real passion for this beautiful place. He was extremely friendly and spoke English very well.

Excellent Costa Rican wildlife guide - Monteverde area - We had a wonderful experience with Deybar. He was knowledgeable about the wildlife, patient, flexible and very informative. We had two tours with Deybar, on in Monteverde reserve and one in Curi Cancha. Both were exceptional. Would highly recommend him if you want to see Costa Rica’s wildlife. If we did the walks on our own we never would have seen anything.

Quetzal !! - Our guide, Damar (sp?) was excellent. He was a wealth of knowledge, was not in a rush, and he was kind enough to wait for us. Overall a great experience. The drive to Monteverde is not for the faint of heart.
