Oscar was an incredibly knowledgeable guide. I have never had a tour guide that was able to answer such a wide range of questions so accurately and in such detail. He is also incredibly nice and welcoming. If you like birds or plants or bugs or ever wondered what monkey pee smells like then you gotta take this tour. He is an expert guide. Just watching how efficient he is at locating the wildlife was worth the money not to mention the beautiful birds we were able to see during the tour. Highly recommend.

The tour with Oscar was absolutely fantastic. At first he gives you the choice of two parcs. We choose Curi-Cancha. Besides that we were very lucky that day and saw basically all birds we wished for, has Oscar a great eye and ear for it. He has a perfect balance of sharing information, spotting, pace, etc. It felt very comfortable and it was absolutely worth every Euro. Thanks again Oscar!

We had a wonderful time with Johnny! He was so knowledgeable of the birds and where to find them and you could tell that he really had a passion for it. He was so quick at finding birds and setting up his scope so we could have an amazing view. He also had binoculars for us to use. We highly recommend this tour, it made our trip to Monteverde!

We had a great experience with Oscar. He is a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable, approachable, helpful, and ethical. We had two tours with him, a private birdwatching tour and a group night walking tour. Through the birdwatching tour, we saw toucans, quetzal, motmot, parrots, golden browed chlorophonia, Euphonia, howler monkey, viper, agouti, and so many more! Oscar knows where the animals are at and the best ways to watch them. He would not only show you the animals but also share about their habits and why they are at where they are. Through the night tour, we also saw a lot of sleeping birds, sloth, vipers, and a lot any animals. Also, he is very ethical and would rather cancel/postpone if cannot provide the best experience to clients. He loves animals and his country to heart. I would strongly recommend Oscar. Also, do a private tour if you can!

Sergio was an awesome guide, highly recommend! We were lucky to have him for a private birdwatching tour and a night tour, and he was fantastic in both. His knowledge of wildlife is immense, and his bird identification is top tier. On top of that, he's a great person to hang out with. Definitely made our time in Monteverde special, and booking with Nasua tours and Sergio was a highlight of our trip.

We did the birding tour with our Gide Oscar and we just loved it. We’ve learned so much about the (endemic) birds and also about their habitat and the cloud forest. If you’re looking for a birding tour: stop now and book with nasua tours!

My bird watching tour with Oscar from Nasua Tours was amazing. This guy has over 16 years of experience birdwatching and touring in Monteverde, and knows every single bird species by song/call and observation. A huge advantage when watching birds in such a biodiverse area. Oscar is very friendly, interested and passionate, you can clearly see this when he points out the birds to you. After so many years, to see so much enthusiasm still, is really amazing. He is also flexible depending on what you want to see. If you for example are really focused on seeing a Quetzal, he will spend more time on this without hesitation and will cross the park to get you to your target. Besides birds, he also knows a lot about the area itself and the cloud forest. Trivia about butterflies, orchid flowers, trees etc. It is all there!! Doing the tour with him is just a very nice learning experience. But more importantly, Oscar is a humble and friendly human being. He will help out people on the street or in the park when they struggle with spotting a bird, or when other hikers get their car stuck in the sidewalk. He did this during my trip without hesitation, which really shows his kind character. I highly recommend booking a trip with him. You will see countless birds and will have a nice experience. Perfect option for semi-experienced birdlovers! Tip: it is advantageous to have your own binoculars and bird-eye. Although Oscar has fantastic spotting gear with him, it will definitely help if you also have something like binoculars to spot the birds faster. Working together increases the chances of seeing birds a lot! Thanks again Oscar for this fantastic experience! Best, Detlef

My partner, Zack, and I had a great time with Oscar on this bird watching tour. Oscar was extremely kind and knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna and was clearly very passionate about the environment and conservation of the lands that we were on. We were able to spot so many types of birds including the famed Resplendent Quetzal, a Keel-billed Toucan, Mot-mots, and so many more! It was amazing to see how much Oscar could spot when all that we could see were just the trees. All in all, I'd highly recommend a tour with Oscar, especially this one if you'd like to see some amazing birds - yes, it's worth the 6 am start time!

We went on a morning bird tour with Oscar to Curi Cancha and it was exceptional. Oscar was incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to birds, but also all other species and the natural history of Costa Rica. He was accommodating, friendly and truly passionate about what he does. We have done quite a few different tours around Monteverde and La Fortuna, and he was by far our favourite. There is so much to learn from Oscar and he is also a kind and fun person to spend the day with!

Oscar, our guide, led three birding and wildlife tours for the four of us over the course of 4 days.......each exceptional! He is very friendly, knowledgeable and amazing at finding the wildlife! After studying the cloud forest for many years, he knows where to go to see the birds and animals his guests would like to see. During our tours we saw the emerald toucanet, keel-billed toucan, resplendent quetzal, ornate hawk eagle, three-wattled bell bird, long tailed manakin, coatis, spider and capuchin monkeys and so much more! Thank you, Oscar!!!

What a beautiful day it was. If possible we would have given 10/5! We have seen so many birds, including the mythical Quetzal. Oscar has been the perfect guide for us, his enthusiasm has really touched us, and he has learned us so many things about the cloud forest: trees, plants and animals. Thanks again Oscar for this overwhelming life experience! Jérémy

We had a fantastic private birding tour in the Curi-Cancha reserve of Monteverde. Our guide, Rodiber Martinez was experienced, talented and patient. He made sure we not only saw a wide variety of both common and rare Costa Rican birds but also learned about the history of the reserve and the area around it. Great fun, a good meal and serious birding…this tour had it all!

This was an awesome tour!! Highlight of our trip. Oscar was so knowledgeable, kind, funny, and passionate about what he does. He showed us incredible birds, a viper, and other critters. He knows how to call the birds and can spot tiny birds far away. Amazing! We learned so much and feel much more connected to the wildlife here now. We feel so lucky to have done this tour. Definitely bring snacks and layers.

Super committed and passionate guide. In general, we highly recommend to take a guide especially in a dense forest such as Monteverde and Oscar knew exactly where to search for the requested Quetzal! We thank Oscar for such a wonderful morning!

We had the most incredible birding experience with Oscar this morning. On our wish list was a Toucan and Quetzal, we managed our expectations because these are rare birds, but by some miracle we managed to see both within the first hour! Oscar has so much experience of the cloud forest and so many friends he makes it look easy to find the animals you’re wanting to see. He’s something like the godfather, the don corlione of the cloud forest. His equipment and base of knowledge are second to none, rest assured he’s the best guide you could ask for, and enjoy!

If I could give Oscar more than 5 stars I would. He is so fast at spotting birds and has a wealth of knowledge. We saw 3 different quetzals and he took pictures of them through his spotting scope. One of a kind experience and a highlight of our trip. I highly recommend Oscar if you want to see wildlife.

If you‘re looking for a guide in the Monteverde area, look no further. Oscar is not only a kind and humble person, he has also an incredible knowledge about the nature. I did a bird watching tour, which was outstanding. He adjusted everything according to my wishes. It‘s the easiest 10/10 I have ever given!

Tout d’abord, notre guide Oscar était super sympathique et il connaît le parc sur le bout de ses doigts!! Cette visite était superbe! On avait l’objectif de voir un Quetzal et on en a vu non seulement un mais plusieurs et pris plusieurs très belles photos!! Les connaissances que notre guide nous a transmis étaient vraiment intéressantes et enrichissantes! Nous le recommandons à 100%

Oscar est un guide exceptionnel. Grâce à lui, nous avons pu admirer le quetzal et quantité d'autres oiseaux et animaux. Il parle avec passion de la forêt, des animaux, de la nature et de sa protection. Il a répondu à toutes nos questions et en plus, grâce à lui nous avons pu ramener des photos extraordinaires. Il est sans aucun doute le meilleur guide naturaliste que nous avons pu rencontrer, au Costa Rica ... ou ailleurs! Nous n'avons simplement pas vu le temps passer. Nous avons également réservé un tour nocturne avec lui et là également, nous avons été comblés. Nous avons même pu voir une famille de tatous à la fin de la visite! Nous recommandons vivement Oscar!

Deze tour vonden wij het allerleukste van de tours die we hebben gedaan in Costa Rica. Oscar is een hele professionele en leuke gids. Hij reageert snel en is duidelijk en precies in de afspraken. De tour vonden we geweldig en de tijd vloog voorbij. Oscar is heel enthousiast en heeft ontzettend veel kennis van alle vogels en de geluiden die ze maken. We zagen de meest mooie vogels (waaronder de Quetzal). Aanrader!
