About this experience
A private tour with a seasoned guide is the best way to make the most of your time in Monteverde at either the Monteverde Reserve or Curi Cancha Reserve. This option is great for anyone who would like a more personal touch than a standard group tour. Also great for families with children! Unlike many operators that charge per person, we offer a flat rate for your private guide for 1-4 people and for 5-8 people.
This tour doesn't include transport, but we have a customization of this tour that includes round trip transport. We look forward to hosting you!
