Fantastic - Great, great tour with George our guide who was very friendly and knowledgeable. We even saw two quetzals which is quite unusual apparently. Apart from that there were many birds and George took some great photos with my phone through his spotting scope.

Outstanding tour - don’t miss this! - Our tour with George was the highlight of an amazing week in Monteverde. We had many incredible experiences, and this tour was far and away the best. George filled the tour with such care, knowledge, and heart. Our six year old and nine year old connected with him immediately and he made everything very accessible. The tour had a very peaceful vibe with deep presence and we all felt a profound connection to the place, thanks to George. He also took and sent us incredible photos of the animals we saw. We can’t wait for another tour with George - be sure to check out the many different experiences he offers!

Worth it - We came to Monteverde for a two day sister’s trip. I had read about the cloud forest before and I thought it was very unique and really wanted to make our first time in Costa Rica just focused in Monteverde. Wow, you can enter into the curry concha reserve without a guide, I would highly recommend getting a guide. George came with a scope and binoculars. He taught us how to use binoculars. he took so many photos for us through the scope that we would never have had otherwise. We would never have even seen the birds that he pointed out. We were able to go to the transitional forest and into the cloud forest. I’m so glad we had this experience and even though it is pricier than doing it yourself, it is definitely worth it.

He is so passionate about the forest and knowledgeable - and very good at spotting creatures! We learned a lot. Thanks to his perseverance we even managed to see two stunning quetzals. Would definitely recommend for anyone seeking appreciation of the beautiful and unique forest. We will remember our experience forever. Thank you George Jnr!

George Jr is Fantastic! - We did two tours with this company, with George Jr as our guide. Don’t let his age fool you, this kid is a fabulous tour guide. So knowledgeable and so personable. We loved every minute of our tours. Our first was an afternoon hike in the cloud forest which was excellent with a stop at the end at the hummingbird park. That evening, we did a night walk, man that kid can spot the critters. Top notch operation, highly recommend.
