Naturetrek's 'Go Slow in Tuscany' - a week of wildlife although Tuscan food, wine and culture played an important part in this slower paced holiday

The idea of a Naturetrek wildlife holiday to Tuscany appealed to my husband and I, but it was the 'Go Slow' aspect that really sold it to me. We stayed in an agriturismo in the Maremarre Regional Park where the meals - local food and wine - were excellent and the owners and staff friendly and helpful; we had convivial evening meals sitting at one long table in the restaurant.

The idea of a Naturetrek wildlife holiday to Tuscany appealed to my husband and I, but it was the 'Go Slow' aspect that really sold it to me. We stayed in an agriturismo in the Maremarre Regional Park where the meals - local food and wine - were excellent and the owners and staff friendly and helpful; we had convivial evening meals sitting at one long table in the restaurant. Two minibuses driven by our tour leaders, both excellent naturalists, took our group to WWF reserves, national parks and on a boat trip to see a great variety of wildlife; they also led early morning and late evening walks through the grounds and farmland around our guesthouse. Self-guided tours of medieval Siena, San Gimignano plus an archaeological site/museum provided some welcome Tuscan culture. Leaders Glyn and Giacomo were fun and did a superb job in dealing with unexpected problems promptly and efficiently.

This was our second Naturetrek holiday and we rate them highly for their choice of holidays, brochure, website and booking process; telephone queries are dealt with promptly and efficiently. Their holidays are led by wildlife experts, who, in our opinion do all they can to ensure the best wildlife experience for the majority while being attentive to the needs of the diverse individuals in the group.

Interesting

We went to Albania which is a country I knew very little about, I didn’t even know that there were no trains in the whole of the country and that the whole country is supplied by the dams I the north. The countryside is so varied,it is a shame their government is likely to spoil part of it by building a new airport and resort in a site of natural habitats.

A week watching wildlife in the Pyrenees.

A week in the Spanish Pyrenees packed with wildlife of all sorts which anyone could enjoy. The pace was quite gentle but with beautiful views and an outstanding guide there were plenty of thrills. Recommended to anyone who enjoys a refreshing break full of wild wonders.

A fun bird watching trip in Spain

This was an excellent 9 day bird watching trip to Andalusia and Extremadura. The guides were very knowledgeable and showed us other wildlife too. They even prepared a picnic each day.

The itinerary for this trip is excellent, including visits to Rathlin Island, Glenveagh National Park and a two-night stay on Tory Island, where you can hear Corncrakes from your hotel room.

I have travelled with Naturetrek almost every year since my first wildlife watching holiday in 2011. It is a long-established tour operator with high standards which it applies consistently.

Top Quality Wildlife Holiday

The Holiday was 'Panama - Mammals of the Canopy Tower' with Naturetrek.

The Holiday was 'Panama - Mammals of the Canopy Tower' with Naturetrek. This was our first holiday with Naturetrek and we were very impressed by the efficient organization and information sent from the company, such as the pre-departure information. We also thought all aspects of the location at Canopy Tower, and later at Canopy Lodge were impressive. The guides were excellent; they were experienced and knowledgeable, and took us to the best sites in the rainforests and the Panama Canal, seeking out a wide range of fantastic mammals, birds and reptiles, from Sloths, Possums and Howler Monkeys, to Owls, Parrots and Toucans. We were with nine other guests which felt like a good sized group to go with. The food was also excellent!
