Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

It was a botany holiday where we looked for wild plants (and also birds), visited a private garden and had brief visits to other sights of historical/cultural interest. The hotel and the naturalist guide were both excellent.

I went to the Camargue in the south of France with a group from my local bird club. Our leader is an expert on ornithology with knowledge of most things concerning wild life. We travelled in two mini buses and covered the area of marshland containing the famous white horses and the colourful flamingos . We travelled inland to more mountainous areas and saw large birds of prey including 2 Egyption Vultures nesting in a gorge, lovely alpine flowers and enjoyed a perfect woodland picnic area with no other tourists around. The weather was mostly sunny with a strong north wind but it stayed dry for us.

Nature Trek gave us plenty of information regarding our trip and were very efficient throughout.

This was an amazing experience. It was well thought out and organised. We saw more than we thought possible in only a few days. The hotel was friendly, pretty and comfortable, the group leaders dedicated and knowledgeable, flights were brilliant despite the mistral diverting us from Marseille to Nice. Everything that needed resolving was resolved. Couldn't fault it.

Again faultless - all information was provided in time and correctly. The organisation appeared seamless and any issues were resolved easily.

Under the guidance and tutelage of an experienced botanist/naturalist we explored the limestone region of France, called The Vercors. We were driven to various locations in the region and shown the flora and fauna - and the scenery. Our guide identified the flora and provided us with plenty of information about each species.

Naturetrek: specialise in wildlife holidays. From my experience - this is my third holiday with the company - they provide a professional service. The tour guides I have met have all been very experienced and more than competent in their specialisms. The company provides a holiday that is not only enjoyable but also educational.

Short break in the Camargue with Naturetrek looking for birds and wildlife various. Well thought through from the actual booking process to delivery. Guides were exceptionally knowledgable and engaging, hotel was exactly as "described on the tin". Flights acceptable (are they ever any better nowadays). All in all a very good trip.

the holiday was a bird watching trip to Albania i went with a friend and were in a group of fourteen we like looking at birds but are not bird watchers. However we were accepted by the group and Andy bent over backwards to make sure we saw as many different species as we could. Andy's knowledge of anything to do with nature was truly amazing. It was a wonderful experience.

Naturetrek organised the trip very well as Albania is an emerging holiday destination, we travelled the length of the country and spent the last four days in the mountains the hotels were of a decent standard and the food was plentiful.

The friendly and knowledgeablel tour guide led our small group into the sunny and dreamy Chilterns where we found man, monkey, military, fly and green-winged orchids. Would I have noticed the wild service tree and the spindle tree without our guide? I certainly would have missed the adder's tongue ferns and the hare which joined us for a time. A delightful holiday.

Naturetrek inspires confidence with its professionalism and integrity.

a short break holiday in rural Sweden taking in some of the best spots for wildlife watching

have travelled with Naturetrek many times and found them to be reliable and provide holidays of a high standard

sweden in spring naturetrek tour. a good age range of people with great stories to tell of they're experiences. daniel green the local swedish guide and greg mabbett ( english guide ). the cobi of daniel and greg worked perfectly . daniel knew all the sites and what to expect ( we saw what he suggested Every time ) and greg had incredible sharp eyes detecting bird movement giving us many new species we would have missed. I cant praise him enough and i believe it was his 1st tour !

naturetrek continually kept up communications pretrip. this was good for me because i had been in the country for 2 weeks before the tour group arrived. they gave me precise details of where and when to be at arlanda airport to meet daniel and then the arriving group. everything worked perfectly. when one of the group at the hotel suffered a bad painful eye infection we had a retired doctor on the trip and the guides arranged a taxi to take the "patient" to hospital.

We went on a general wildlife tour of the dordogne area of France. We had a great guide who knew so much about the area. We were treated to wonderful views of orchids ,butterflies and moths and birds along with visits to cultural sites.

They were very helpful when we booked the tour, and didn't mind us ringing them with our queries.The trip was well organised and our guide met us and looked after us from when we arrived at the airport.
