My wife and I participated in a tour with Marvin and it was a great experience! Even with some rain, with all his knowledge, he showed us very beautiful things, and, through his excellent eyes, he spotted the Quetzal, the bird we really wanted to see! 5 ⭐️
Marvin is a very informative guide. I saw many different birds and insects, butterflies, stick insects and a tarantula.
Marvin is very experienced and knowledgeable person. He explained me lot of things about nature in Costa Rica. He took it slow, not at all rushed. He explained me in detail all that I asked. He is very passionate about what he does and I would definitely recommend anyone to go with him.
It has been a pleasure to visit with Marvin. When knowledge is combined with passion....the experience has been unforgettable. Eternally grateful! Fortunately ours, we have seen the Quetzal...
We met Marvin for a night tour in the Wildlife Refuge Monteverde and he managed to spot so much wildlife in the dark - we were flabbergasted! The way he explained facts about animals, insects and plants was perfect, he's so engaging and clearly very knowledgeable. We ended up signing up for a tour of the Curi Cancha reserve with him early in the morning the next day because of how much we enjoyed the experience. Honestly cannot recommend him enough, especially after experiencing far less satisfying tours in other areas of Costa Rica - it really made us appreciate his knowledge even more!
We booked a night tour which we happened to have Marvin as our guide. Could not have been happier! He knows everything there is to know about the animals and plants of the area, specialising in snakes and frogs, which was really useful as we saw lots of both snakes (pit vipers) and frogs! Marvin also showed us a range of birds and giant stick insects and scorpions. His knowledge about all this was great, but his enthusiasm to share this knowledge was perfect. We had such a good time with Marvin that we booked another tour with him for the next morning at curi cancha! Thanks so much, chico
We did the night tour with Marvin in Monteverde. Two hours of discovery: insects, reptiles and even birds. We observed stick bug, an obelisk snake and a toucan among many other animals. We were so happy with Marvin that two days later we called him for a birdwatching tour. Just arrive we were lucky enough to see a quetzal!! Marvin explains very well, knows all the fauna and flora of Monteverde and has a super equipment to make your tour the best experience! Do not hesitate, call him!
I had a great experience with Marvin.. He speaks both English and Spanish and gives such great information and facts along the tour. We found so many beautiful species on our night tour. We felt safe and the tour was fun! I would highly recommend we took our 5 year old daughter who really enjoyed it as well.
Marvin met us at our hotel and guided us to the monte Verde Cloud Forest tour entrance. Once we got there he assisted us getting tickets, catching the short van trip and met us again at the tour. While there he shared all his in depth knowledge of the forest. What was impressive was how he worked with other guides to create the best experience for us (locating monkeys, humming bird nests and even a green vine snake). I would highly recommend asking for Marvin!!!
Just spectacular. We did three routes with him. Reservation of Curi Cacha, Monteverde and the night. Passionate about his job. Professional and polite always attentive to your needs. He scrambled to find the Quetzal so he could photograph it. He has knowledge of the terrain and fauna. He came to eat with us and we got to know him and the culture of the country a little better. Definitely the winning choice. Value for money of 10.
