Scam
The guide did not perform his service; his name was Jonny Villegas, and he had to refund the corresponding amount. He is a scammer
Operator response
Lamentamos esta acusación, que no coincide con nuestros registros. Los participantes rechazaron pagar las entradas a los puentes, no incluidas en la opción reservada, y decidieron no realizar el tour, utilizando expresiones hostiles. Solicitamos a la plataforma verificar la autenticidad de la reseña ante un posible conflicto de interés. Rechazamos firmemente el término «estafador».

It is not clearly specified that you have to pay admission to the park to seniors
We bought tickets for the tour and yes, it is true that it appears that it does not include admission to Selvatura Park, but it is true that what appears is that you can not go to other activities of the park. When the day arrives, you are asked for an extra payment of $55 per person to access the park and to take the tour
Operator response
Estimado cliente:
Lamentamos sinceramente la confusión y agradecemos que comparta su experiencia. La opción reservada correspondía exclusivamente al servicio de guía naturalista y, como se indica en la descripción, no incluía la entrada a Selvatura Park.
Reconocemos, sin embargo, que esta información pudo interpretarse como si la entrada solo fuera necesaria para participar en otras actividades del parque. En realidad, el boleto de admisión es obligatorio para acceder al sendero y a los puentes colgantes donde se realiza el tour guiado. Esta tarifa es establecida y cobrada por Selvatura Park, de manera independiente a nuestro servicio.
Entendemos que encontrarse con un pago adicional de aproximadamente $55 por persona el día de la actividad puede resultar inesperado y afectar negativamente la experiencia. Por ello, estamos revisando la descripción del producto para que esta condición aparezca de forma aún más visible y clara antes de confirmar la reserva.
Lamentamos el malentendido y agradecemos sus comentarios, ya que nos ayudan a mejorar nuestra comunicación y servicio.

Tour guide never showed up
Title sums it up. Tour guide never showed up, but fortunately we found another tour guide at the park gate and had a great time.

Did not see much as expected
We have somewhat a big group with 18 people. The tour provided two tour guides. The main one was not fully recovered from a road accident and walking with pain. Wish he stay rest until fully recovered. This impacted our mood and the result of the tour. The second one spoke limited English.
Operator response
Dear Guest,
Thank you for sharing your experience and for expressing concern for our guide’s recovery. We sincerely apologize that his physical condition affected the atmosphere and overall quality of your tour. Although he attended because he did not want to disappoint your group, we recognize that he should have prioritized his recovery until he was fully able to provide the energetic and engaging experience our guests deserve.
We also regret that the second guide’s English proficiency did not meet your group’s communication needs. For a group of 18 participants, both guides should have been able to provide clear explanations, attentive service, and a consistently professional experience.
Your comments have prompted us to review our guide-assignment procedures, including fitness to work, language proficiency, and staffing standards for larger groups. We truly appreciate your honest feedback and apologize that this tour fell short of expectations. We hope to have another opportunity to provide you with the high-quality nature experience for which we strive.

Cloud Forest Dreams Come True
Olher was an amazing tour guide! He gave us information not only about the wildlife in Monteverde but its history as well. He spoke to us about the small plants growing in the forest and knew most species of birds and plants. He had a fun charismatic energy and I would recommend him as a tour guide for anyone looking to learn and see the wildlife through a true Costa Rican lens!

Only fair
The guide smelled like cigarettes so it was difficult to smell the various fruit and plants he was showing us. His English was only fair. The pace was too slow with much conversation unrelated to the tour. We did have a partial view of the quetzal, which was amazing! And the guide had much knowledge, but it was difficult to understand.

Cloud forest is a "must see"!
An amazing walking tour through the cloud forest with our wonderful guide. Olger really bought the cloud forest to life with his knowledge about the trees, plants and the birdlife. His enthusiasm was contagious. I loved hearing the stories about his grandfather and father, who lived in the area. To top it off we saw a quetzal! The cloud forest was certainly one of the highlights of our visit to Costa Rica.

Brilliant guide with Pina!
Pina made this the best experience we have had so far in Costa Rica!
He guided us around the Monteverde cloud forest (a must-go attraction if you’re in the area - by far the best place to catch wildlife), and made the 3 hour hike enjoyable and informative.
We managed to spot loads of flora and fauna that we hadn’t yet been lucky enough to see on other excursions across the country, which was an added bonus. We also learnt about the area and the biodiversity the forest has.
Thank you, Pina - memories made that we will never forget!

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review! We are delighted that Pina made your guided Monteverde Cloud Forest tour one of the highlights of your Costa Rica vacation.
Exploring the forest with an experienced local naturalist guide makes it possible to discover wildlife, native plants, and fascinating details that can easily go unnoticed. We are especially pleased that your three-hour nature hike was both enjoyable and informative, and that you encountered so much unique flora and fauna while learning about Monteverde’s extraordinary biodiversity.
We will proudly share your kind words with Pina. Knowing that your experience created unforgettable memories is the greatest compliment our team could receive. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable wildlife adventure in Monteverde, Costa Rica!
