BE AWARE! False advertising - Not a private tour!

Jiong_C, Apr 2025

Be alarmed this operator advertise this as a "Private service" however it turned out this is NOT a private tour. I turn up at the meeting point only to find out I'm part of a group tour with other people. The tour guide was very surprised when I told him I booked a private tour. Apparently the operator wasn't using in-house tour guides and simply contracted me out to local guides running group tours. It was my last day in Monteverde therefore it was too late to cancel and book another one. I texted them via Viator message on the spot but no responses at all. Essentially they are charging more than double of the other tours for the same experience. Already filed a complaint with Viator and they are looking into it. The guide Mario was totally fine tho. He was very informative and tried to find us all different species of birds the whole time. He gets 5 starts. [[[Just don't book with this operator!]]]

Highlight of Our Trip!

Absolutely fantastic! Kenneth was our tour guide and he was super knowledgeable about local species and hotspots. We actually went out with him twice, once for a normal birdwatching and once for a nocturnal owl watch. We observed around fifty species between the two trips, including the big ones like the Resplendent Quetzal and Three-Wattled Bellbird and rarities like the Crimson-Collared Tanager. Definitely a must if you want a great birdwatching experience!
