Estonia in spring

It was a birdwatching & General natural history trip run by Naturetrek, whom I have used for 13 yrs. We had 2 excellent leaders, one an Estonian naturalist, & a naturetrek leader, who was exceptional. It was a very busy holiday, with lots of content & information. We travelled over quite a lot of the country - Estonia is lovely-with high standards in food & accommodation.. I. Ery much enjoyed it, & would travel with Naturetrek again.

Brilliant holiday with a super guide.

We had a great time. The accommodation was very good and the food was excellent. Our guide (Byron Palacios) was caring, thoughtful and a superb naturalist. The highlight for us (and a difficult choice to make) was sitting virtually amongst approx 200 feeding Griffon vultures - what an experience! A lovely area of Spain (Sierra de Guara), very unspoiled and few people around.

Naturetrek are always most helpful and informative. They are always prepared to answer questions and there is no pressure to 'buy' from them. A great 'brochure' which we take much pleasure from looking at many times throughout the year.

Unfortunately we were let down on the journey home by Jet Airways poor timekeeping. The Naturetrek Mumbai agent sorted everything: transport, overnight hotel etc.

Naturetrek are one of the best operators for wildlife holidays. Having used them several times they cannot be faulted for service before and after the holiday.

Friendly and interesting natural history holiday in warm and welcoming Sicily

The team leaders and fellow travellers made this a vey special holiday for me. I was a novice bird watcher but with a keen interest in all flora and fauna. The hospitality of Baron Peter and his team was exceptional, as was the food and wine. The weather was glorious and a trip to the crater on Etna especially memorable. We enjoyed the care and expertise of two Naturetrek guides and saw an amazing range of birds, butterflies and flowers.

The tour operator took care of all the arrangements and kept us fully informed of travel details and items we should include to make the trip comfortable and enjoyable. I particularly appreciated the fact they booked us in online and sent boarding passes. All correspondence was answered promptly and efficiently and all feedback was personally acknowledged.

brilliant natural history holiday in Frrance

It was a week in Provence, looking for birds, flowers and butterflies. We stayed in two small Logis hotels, both were typically French, with warm ambience and good food. We travelled short distances to varying habitats, and walked through the countryside, looking at listening to all the wildlife. It was a small group of 12, and we all got on well together. Everything was organised for us, even the picnic lumches.

Naturetrek was brilliant. The pre holiday information was excellent. The two tour leaders were very good, and looked after us very well. Everything was covered by Naturetrek - all we had to pay for was tips and drinks, and souvenirs. It was my first trip with Naturetrek, and it won't be the last - in fact, I've already booked another with them.

A great holiday for those who love nature, the out-doors and France

A regular visitor to France when our childred were young, it now must be 10+ years since we were there as we have been doing "The World". This holiday reminded me just what a fantastic country France is. The area's we visited; the Vaucluse and the Camargue, we so very different, but each had spectacular scenery and such a varied flora and fauna. Each day saw us visit a diffeerent terrain,: gorges, mountains, woodland, salt marshes, each ...

The area's we visited; the Vaucluse and the Camargue, we so very different, but each had spectacular scenery and such a varied flora and fauna. Each day saw us visit a diffeerent terrain,: gorges, mountains, woodland, salt marshes, each with its own differing flora and fauna. I enjoy bird-watching, and many years ago did a weeks bird-watching holiday. While very enjoyable, I was birded up at the end. Having both a botanist and ornithologist with us, gave the trip much more variation. Butterfly spotting was new to me but by the end of the week I was hooked. French food needs no introduction and I really enjoyed my re-aquaintance with it. A super week

Rating for tour operator:

They did what it says on the tin. I have very little experince of tour operators as we normally travel independantly, as we did at the end of this holiday having several days on our own on the French Riviera, The guides were particularly excellent and made the holiday.
