No one does it better than George! - Had a tremendous day in the Cloud Forest, with many thanks to our guide, George. He is fully dedicated to providing the best possible experience, all the while educating us about the history of the Cloud Forest, as well as its flora and fauna. It would have been a lovely walk even without George, but with George it was an experience we will not forget.

Amazing quetzal sighting and many more - Wow! That was a once in a lifetime experience to walk with George Jr, an expert guide, through the cloud forest and learn so much about the exquisite ecosystem. George was so personable, professional, and knowledgeable. He generously shared his tips and sightings with other tour guides too. It was very nice to see the tour guide community supporting one another. I would not have gotten as much out of that experience if we had gone on our own. We were so fortunate to have George as our guide. I would recommend this 100%!

Best Monteverde tour ever - George and Vinny were so knowledgeable about the local birds, plants, animals and helped us get the BEST pictures of everything. They were so kind, lovely to chat with, gave us delicious Costa Rican candy, and we got to see howler monkeys, rare hummingbirds, and a quetzal! You can tell this is their passion and that really makes the experience so much more special. And I saw a waterfall for the first time!

Great Monteverde tour - George is an amazing guide. He kept us all engaged during our tour with interesting information about the plants and animals in Monteverde. His knowledge and experience allowed us the chance to see birds that we would otherwise have missed, including a hummingbird on her nest and a quetzal. Great tour!

Gifts at the cloud forest - This experience was breathtaking! 3 hours walking and discovering the immensity of the cloud forest with Jorge. His skills and wide knowledge let us learn and of course have the opportunity to see beautiful flora and fauna. Jorge knows exactly the specific spots and sounds to look for some special birds like the Quetzal, which we had the opportunity to appreciate. An unforgettable experience.

Incredible Tour for family of 5 - George is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and kind. We saw a quetzal, many other birds, and a bat, all while learning so much information about the environment and animals. This was a highlight of our trip! He went over and above and even let us take his SUV for a slight medical emergency for a child. Book with George- you will not regret it!
