Natural beauty all around - A beautiful place, so much natural beauty all around. You can have adventure with a zipline or relax with nature walks across suspension bridges. Bring a raincoat just in case.

Knowledgeable and friendly - Three Brothers Tours were brilliant. Great communication for meeting up. Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Highly recommended, thank you! We saw a Quetzal bird, lots of other birds, and learned about the flora. Loved the hummingbird cafe too.

Misty monkeys - Despite only hearing but not seeing famed Quetzal, our guide Eleir gave us so much attention. He found millipedes, tarantulas, a fabulous stick bug, all things we would never have seen on our own. He was very knowledgeable and shared lots. Highlight were the spider monkeys swinging from the tree tops. Eleir got me a few slow mo videos and photos on my phone through his scope. To know: buy your private tour but then also buy your Monteverde Preserve entrance fee for the same trail and same time or you will not be let into the park. Got some true cloud action, sun, brief showers - the gamut.

Superb overview of the way a cloud forest actually works. - This was really exceptional. Our guide (Mauricio) was absolutely superb. His knowledge was encyclopedic, and he spotted birds and animals that we never would have noticed. I would thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in the plants and animals of Costa Rica.

Fantastic tour of monteverde cloud forest - The tour helped me immensely to start to understand the ecology of the cloud forest, whilst being engaged the entire time. Whilst we did see plenty of wildlife, I felt that the guide’s knowledge on their behaviour and the context behind it was what really made it so amazing. Very knowledgeable and passionate guide.

Great visit to Monteverde reserve. Our guide pointed out and helped us photograph monkeys, a tarantula and the beautiful Quetzal - Only glitch was misunderstanding that you need to purchase entrance tickets for the reserve in addition to paying for the guide.

Easy cloud forest experience - We had an excellent guide who told us so much about the cloud forest and its history in the area. We were able to see several kinds of birds, insects, wild boar and aguti. It was a great experience as the cloud forest is so unique. It is an easy walk on good trails.

Alexander finds Quetzals! - Alexander was very knowledgeable in explaining the flora and fauna, as well as helping us find quetzals, tarantulas and other wildlife like a coati. I heard a woman who didn’t take a guide like Alexander and saw “nothing”. Don’t go without Alexander!!!

Excellent experience - Alexander was super knowledgeable about the natural history of the area. He gave us tips on how to spot the birds and wildlife and he was great at pointing out things we wouldn’t have seen without him. We would recommend this tour!

Maybe if I actually went - I booked the tour on Wednesday. I got an email stating that I had to purchase an entry ticket in advance(I didn't know that you had to reserve a ticket, and it had to be for your tour time.) When I went to purchase the ticket for the time of the tour. None were available for that time. I reached out to the tour company. I stated that I couldn't get a ticket for that time. Basically, I was told that there was nothing they could reschedule for me as a solo. I couldn't cancel and get refund, because per their policy I had to cancel several days in advance not 24(which is what I saw when I booked). *****IMPORTANT**** You're basically paying for a tour guide separate from the actual tour. That's why it needs to be clarified on the tour website. People need to check to see, if a ticket is even available for the time the want before booking the tour. Also, the tour company should also put on the site upfront that cancellation is not 24 hrs. I'm only writing this review for those that are considering booking this tour with this company. That way you're informed. If I had ALL THE INFORMATION in advance, I could have proceeded differently. My advice if you're want to take the tour, especially if you're going alone. Go to the park's website, book your ticket, and do the self guided tour. Just my two cents.
