GBWe spent 5 wonderful days in and around… We spent 5 wonderful days in and around Tandayapa with Alex Luna. He was wonderful with an uncanny ability to spot birds by sight and sound. He was easy to be with and very patient with those of us who were less experienced. He did everything in his power to make this an enjoyable trip. He also spent time with me setting up for photos at the hummingbird feeders at Tandayapa Lodge and I was able to get some memorable shots. Our driver Marco was also wonderful. The roads we travelled were dark, foggy, muddy, bumpy and often single-laned and he was able to get us safely to our various destinations with confidence. Can't say enough good about Alex and our experience in Ecuador. I would recommend Tropical Birding to anyone interested in serious birdwatching.

GBOutstanding company Outstanding company! We have done a lot of tours with Tropical Birding all around the world, and have always enjoyed each and every one of them. The guides are all "first class" and extremely knowledgeable. Not only that, they are personable and some of them have become great friends over the years. While setting up tours (especially private tours) takes more time than going with "set departures" TB really works hard to make each experience a great one and puts a lot of time into meeting our expectations, because we often have a very limited "hit list." If you've never traveled with TB, give it a try! We think you'll be as pleased with this company as we have been.

GBOutstanding private photo tours We have completed 3 private bird photo tours with Pablo Cervantes as our guide. All have been outstanding. Itinerary perfect for our age and activity level. Pablo has outstanding knowledge of both birds and photography, and has helped us improve our photos immensely. Cannot recommend him and Tropical Birding highly enough!

CATropical Birding Costa Rica Introtour Fabulous birding tour! Jose was an excellent guide leading us to over 350 different species of birds. The bus was comfortable with lots of room and I was very happy with the accommodations. This was my first trip travelling on my own and I wasn't sure what to expect but I had nothing to worry about. The trip exceeded my expectations in every aspect and I will definitely travel with Tropical Birding Tours again.

GBVery good birding experience Nice people , decent lodgings, adequate food in a spectacular setting. The lodge is a great birding location within easy range of very good birding sites. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable of the plethora of bird species we encountered, as was the driver who often pointed out birds for us. All in all the trip met our expectations. A fun trip
