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.

Marvin was such a great tour guide. He was already waiting for us when we walked towards the entrance of the park, after saying hello he got us the tickets in a blink of an eye and we went inside. Once inside he started bombarding us with a lot of awesome details about the park and all the animals inside and answered all our questions on an expert level with humor. Even though me and my girlfriend are total rookies when it comes to experiences like this you could sense Marvin was a real veteran since he was letting other tour guides and tourists know of sightings, this is definitely the professional you want and certainly worth the extra price compared to other guides for this specific park. In total we saw 3 quetzals and an ungodly amount of (rare) birds and other animals. All in all we were extremely happy and would recommend Marvin his tour to everybody! Thanks again Marvin, love Divya and Max :)

Marvin is definitely spectacular! His skills, knowledge and affection left us with the best of the flavors of Monte Verde. Initially we did the morning tour with him, and we liked it so much that we hired the night tour for the same night. We saw many kinds of animals and insects and we were enriched with their knowledge, kindness and respect for the environment! PURA VIDA MARLIN! We will send you all the friends without hesitation!

The guide found many things we wouldn't have seen ourselves, and was fun and engaging. The communication before the activity was good too. Definitely recommend!

Marvin is a 5-star guide, provided us with a spectacular visit where we could find typical Costa Rica animals, such as the Quetzal and his cousin Trogon. In addition to his great knowledge, Marvin stands out for his sympathy, as everyone knows him at Monteverde Reserve and greets everyone warmly.

Fantastic day start! Marvin provided an incredible visit, worried about explaining the reason for the existence of the Cloudy Forest but also worried about not losing the opportunity to see, photograph and explain the species they were encountering. At the end, we finished the tour and someone saw a quetzal, did not leave us and made a question that to resume and take us to see. Not intrusive, super respectful and with a notorious love for the forest. I recommend a guided tour with Marvin in order to take advantage of all the surrounding space. Thank you
