This tour was exceptional in the number and quality of bird sightings we were able to make! They included over 50 species many of which we were able to see up close in our guide's scope. Our guide shared detailed information about the birds we saw. He was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and professional, helping us take breathtaking photos through his scope. It's important that people know that this tour does not take you to the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve in spite of the advertised title "Monteverde reserve Birding tour with Esteban daily guided tours". Our guide was also not Esteban but Dernierth. Instead of the Monteverde reserve, we walked around Monteverde roadsides and then went to the Curi Cancha reserve. I believe this offered a superior birding experience (but I had bought tickets ahead of time to the Monteverde reserve thinking that we were heading there, so don't buy entrance tickets ahead of time if you book this tour!).
