Had a great trip with Knut

Had a great trip with Knut Lots of new life birds for me too Knut was excellent at all aspects of guiding knowledgeable about the areas the birds their calls and was able to put the scope on many of them Highly recommended

Custom Bird Experiences

I spent an excellent day birding with Knut He and Claudia organized a great day to achieve my taglrget birds while working on bird photography They are ethical knowledgeable and dedicated guides I would highly recommend and would definitely repeat when I am Guatemala again

Our experience was great

Our experience with Claudia was great Our tour included experienced birders as well as our friends who had never birded before -- and both groups left very happy It was especially wonderful to see how Claudia was able to reach the non-birders ages 8-60 who became very enthusiastic seeing birds through the spotting scope and hunting for more with the binoculars We would definitely do this again Thank you

Knut is a premier league guide

Knut is a premier league guide He combines impeccable knowledge of the birds with boundless enthusiasm He is also the fastest on the draw when getting a bird in his telescope that I have come across His ability to identify all the birds by their calls was also a great help

Very Informative Tour

I went on a 2 day birding tour with Birding Antigua Guatemala in March 2024 If you are looking for a relaxing and an informative birding tour with someone that really knows their birds then you can t go wrong with 1 of their tours The guides have a tremendous amount of knowledge about the birds the forest and Guatemala

Wonderful experience

Wonderful experience Great communication with Claudia to discuss options and to set the logistics Top-notch tour with Knut as our guide It was rainy season when it rains most afternoons so we chose a relaxed 1 2 day of birding at Finca El Pilar Knut picked us up at our lodging in downtown Antigua and was very friendly We arrived at the finca in just a few minutes and immediately started seeing birds Knut knew every bird s song and he found them quickly with his scope so we could see them closer and clearer than with our binoculars We saw 49 species and heard 8 more in just a few hours Highlights included Emerald Toucanet Gartered Trogon Elegant Euphonia and eight species of hummingbird all at once--too close for binoculars And the landscape at the finca is beautiful Amazing views of the volcanoes and of Antigua Kurt delivered us back to our lodging in time for lunch and he gave us some great recommendations for where to eat We highly recommend Birding Antigua Guatemala

Excellent birding with Knut

Knut is a very nice person and an excellent birder He has a deep knowledge of the local birds their habits and environment He is fast to set up his scope and give us a close up view and is highly skilled in spotting them We saw probably 100 different species on 2 half days The hummingbirds seen were exceptional
