Mauro, The guide was informative and explained all the wild life species, insects and the trees , forest etc…. !

Take a Tour with the Best! Even other guides were impressed with Mauro!

Did an early morning private tour with Mauro in Manuel Antonio. Mauro was great! He got in touch the evening before and gave us detailed directions on where to park and meet. The tour was great; Mauro spotted animals that we never would have seen on our own! Even other guides were amazed at how he was able to spot wildlife! It's a little extra to book a private tour, but I highly recommend it. And book with Mauro; he's the best!!

The very best tour guide.

Mauro Was an absolutely fantastic guide. He was knowledgeable and professional and friendly. We recommend him 100%. I believe he is probably the best tour guide of this park.

Awesome

Mauro was fantastic! Highly recommended. He ran circles around all other guides and his ability to spot things is incredible.

Great experience, highly recommend!

We enjoyed the tour so much and highly recommend Mauro! He is a great guide, very friendly and knowledgable. Communication was great, he was on time, gave us tips for ayr trip and the price is very reasonable. The extra touch was to receive pictures and videos of all the animals and plants Mauro made during our tour. Thank you so much Mauro!

excellent value, dont go without

Mauro is super knowledgeable, spots things that you are highly likely to miss on your own, and is very easy to get along with. I wasn't half way through my tour before feeling like i gotten my moneys worth .
