100% we would repeat again - Antonio was a great guide, especially he is very friendly and eager to help you in anything. Apart from the personal, it is a great guide where you can see the great knowledge you have of the area and the animals. Do not hesitate to contact him to make this tour.
You rating his passion for his work and his knowledge.
The guides in the area have a view that without them you would not see many of the animals.

Canoe the canals and spawn - We did the canoe tour of the canals and the spawning of the turtles with Antonio de Tortutravel and it was a wonderful experience. In addition he was also in charge of coordinating our entry and exit from Tortuguero and everything was fantastic. Thank you very much for making us enjoy our visit to Tortuguero. Pura Vida!!!!

Guide Leroy (or "eagle eye") - We went with guide Leroy (nickname "Eagle eye") and it was great! We had Crocodiles, kaaymans, many lizards, birds and a magical trip trough a small creek inside the forest. Leroy knew al plants and animals but was very relaxed. He let us ask questions and also saved some moments to listen to the forest. Big recommondation!

Tortuguero Canoe Tour with Antonio - An amazing experience the canoe tour with Antonio. We did well early and it was quite a hit for the temperature, because we were lucky enough to go alone in the experience and the number of animals we could see. Antonio is a great guide who showed us and explained all the curiosities of Tortuguero biodiversity, he was an exemplary guide, friendly and we learned a lot from Tortuguero. Thanks for making the experience super enjoyable, we would definitely repeat with him! Highly recommended !!

The best guide in Costa Rica - We did 2 tours with Antonio in turtle and they were amazing. He was super friendly and gave immense information about all the animals we saw with the passion of who loves his work. We saw many animals thanks to Antonio's quick identification.
We stayed in Costa Rica 2 weeks and did a total of 8 tours, with different guides. Without a doubt, Antonio was the guide we liked the most!!

Good. - The experience is beautiful. While we know there are a lot of animals there, we couldn’t see much. We didn't get into narrow channels which is what we expected and it shows in the photos. And I had a bad experience with the tour vendor, made me feel very uncomfortable wanting to sell insistently an activity that I had already contracted with another agency.
