An unforgettable tarantula experience with a true local guide

5.00Title Amazing experience with a true local guide Review We had such a good time with Timothy during the tarantula night tour. You can instantly feel that he’s a real local and knows the area perfectly. Honestly, nothing beats exploring with someone like that. He was super chill, reassuring, and clearly passionate about spiders and nature. The craziest part was when he showed us how to gently make the tarantulas come out ourselves using the stick technique. When you hold the stick and make tiny vibrations, you can actually feel the tarantula grabbing onto it with its hooks. Such a weird and special feeling honestly. And the funny thing is… once you experience it, you realize tarantulas are actually way less dangerous than people imagine. Even if you’re scared of spiders, I genuinely think this is a great way to overcome that fear. You feel safe the whole time and learn to respect them instead of fearing them. As a huge spider fan, I absolutely loved it. My girlfriend Anaïs and I had an unforgettable time. Thanks again Timothy !
Must do, if you are interested in nature
