Wonderful Tour, Johnny Loves Nature is a gem! - Johnny is a friendly, thoughtful tour guide and his enthusiasm for birds and nature is infectious, can’t recommend him enough. The 4 of us had a private tour and we saw both male and female resplendent quetzals, among other birds and insects, he was able to locate them by their calls, and called them in return! He has deep knowledge about the environment in general, and he has a great, open sense of humor and personality.

Johnny is a great guide. - Johnny was a knowledgeable and fun guide, with a quick eye and plenty of stories to go around. That, and he also bailed me out after another tour was canceled. He even let me borrow his extra rain jacket when it started to pour. And yes, our group saw quetzals and other birds.

Johnny really does love nature! - Johnny is great we did 2 tours with him. The depth of his knowledge is crazy! It was impressive at how good he was at finding animals! We would have not seen anything if we went with out him. He also helped us all by taking photos on our phones through the binoculars.

Five stars and even more 👌🏻 - We had an absolutely fantastic time on the birdwatching tour at the CuriCancha Reserve with Johnny as our guide. We can 1000% recommend him! His keen eye is unmatched – he spotted even the rarest birds effortlessly. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he also has a great sense of humor and charm, making the experience so much fun. We laughed a lot and learned even more. Johnny is truly the best guide you could ask for! 1000% recommended – trust us, you won’t regret it!

Good tour for bird watching - I had Kevin as my guide and he was very good and experienced. He spoke English well and asked what I most hoped to see. I had a good time walking around the reserve and was happy to see toucans several times (although no quetzel, alas). I take a star off because the tour was advertised as a 3-hour tour (although the small print said 2.5 hours), but it was exactly 2 hours. I didn't mind that so much, but it is not accurate advertising.
