Peaceful trip to the Monteverde Cloud Forest with an Exceptional Guide

This was an amazing experience that stands out as one of our favorites in Costa Rica. The forest was lush, misty, and magical. The view of the forest from above the clouds was peaceful and felt spiritual. It was truly awe-inspiring. One of the things that made this trip so special was our guide, Steven (Stephen?). He was exceptionally knowledgeable and genuinely proud to share this part of Costa Rica. Because my phone is older and the camera not so great, he took high-quality photos and video clips using his own phone and then shared them with us. If you have the chance, you should definitely request Steven as your guide when you book. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Top experience

It was a great experience! Fernando expanded our knowledge of Costa Rica and kept us entertained during the whole journey. Riding the sky tram and walking on the hanging bridges seeing the tree tops feels very refreshing. A lot of greenery out there. They also opened a new glass bridge recently, so you will see everything under your feet.

Great trip with fantastic guide and driver.

Great trip. Our driver Brian and guide Steven were fantastic. Friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. The tour itself is well organised with the highlight being the Cloud Forest and Hanging Bridges. Lunch was very good. Would recommend this tour. It’s a long day, but well worth it.
