Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

This is the latest of a number of holidays I have taken with Naturetrek all of which have been very satisfactory and of a high standard in relation to arrangements,execution and fulfilment of expectations.happy holiday in all respects.

Efficient and capable of delivering as promised.

A guided nature tour focusing on birds but also mammals. The standard of guides was very high and we saw many species we would not have seen without them. The hotels were were very good too.

This is the third time we have used Naturetrek. They visit places we would struggle to see otherwise and their organisation and attention to detail is excellent.

Deafened by nightingales -how good is that. Early morning walks with mist across the fields and nothing but the sound and sight of birds stirring. H, and a wild boar,too. Daily trips with patient, knowledgeable tour leaders who pointed out some amazing birds to us. Leisurely lunches in good company and then yet more birds to find in the afternoons. We even had time for a bit of culture - the lovely old city of Arles and a romantic old monastery that looked beautiful in the distance and very impressive up close. We ended each day with a delicious meal of home made French cuisine and generally, a fairly early bedtime so as to be ready for the next day's pre breakfast walk and another day of discovery and pleasure. Such a lovely holiday. Can't wait to have another one!

Naturetrek, whom I have travelled with n several occasions in the past but never on my own. I was very uncertain about this but was totally reassured. The only down side was the hideously early flight time out of Gatwick but tha was not their fault. All was done by Naturetrek to make that as painless as possible for us. Our guides were very knowledgeable and the min buses that we travelled in very comfortable. I will certainly travel with them again and would recommend them to any other birding friends.

I went with a friend for our second Naturetrek holiday. this time we went to the Camargue at the beginning of this month. It is such a beautiful part of France and we were lucky with a bit of wind so no mosquitoes! Our leaders were so well organized, friendly and ever helpful with information. We saw some lovely birds. The accommodation was very good and the food good too. We had a delightful group of travellers - the whole thing was entirely pleasurable. We will certainly use Naturetrek again in the future.

well organized, welcoming and efficient.

It was very full on, the arrangements was very well organised , Happy to go again.

Keep me well informed, the guide was very good.I would recommend them to others.

This was a two centre holiday using experienced guides to study the Sicilian flora and particularly to search for rare orchid specimens. The hotels used were chosen specifically for their location in botanical hot spots and were perfectly adequate for our requirements. Transport was provided by mini-buses driven by the guides. All food and most drinks were included in the cost of the holiday. Naturetrek booking arrangements were excellent and our aircraft seating was pre-booked. All in all an excellent holiday perfectly organized.

Naturetrek provided everything that one could expect from a specialist operator and I would recommend them for any natural history holiday.

Excellent birdwatching experience, including a pre-breakfast dawn chorus excursion. The 2 days were led by excellent guides, who tried and generally succeeded in finding the birds on the parties wishlist, including Bitterns, Hobbys and Garganeys. The accomodation and meals, including the lunchtime pub stops were of a high quality.

From booking to finish of the tour the organisation was excellent, transport to to the sites was well organised and well driven by our guides

It was a very good and enjoyable holiday. Everything was very well organised. The guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. Could not have been organised better.

Friendly, efficient. Good detailed information. Everything very well organised Extremely satisfied

It was a packed 10 days in which we experienced some most wonderful wildlife sightings, with chance to observe and learn from our extremely knowledgeable guides Our highlights were watching the bears,watching a Penduline tit building it's intricate nest & the spectacle of thousands of pelicans flying above our heads as the sun began to set, but there was so much more! The itinerary also gave us opportunities to 'see' Romania; the countryside with associated activities, the villages,castles & the Royal lodge even a chance to see the centre of Bucharest on our way to the airport. The accommodation was welcoming & comfortable, the floating hotel moored against the reeds in the Delta with the frogs was a really memorable experience

Our Naturetrek guide was ensured that everything ran smoothly from departure to arrival back at Heathrow. Everything was well planned but not rigid so opportunities were never missed. He was lively, had a wide range of knowlege & good humour. Our local guide was on his first tour but no one would have guessed. Nothing was too much trouble and he kept a smile on his face though some long days He was quick to spot the wildlife & ensured the all were given the opportunity to observe. We cannot praise him too highly & hope he does well in his chosen career.

Birding in Mallorca. 22 - 29th April 2017 My first time with Naturetrek. A very good trip. Hotel surpassed all expectations for location, comfort and food. The latter was the best I have ever had in any hotel I have stayed. Saw lots of new birds such as Spotted Redshank, Hoopoe and Black and Griffon Vultures. The tour leaders Andy and Cliff were excellent. Looking after their team of birders, answering questions and giving information where needed. They were very good at making sure that all tour members saw birds that were spotted. They treated the tour members as individuals responding to needs and playing to the groups strengths. The leaders were very different but they complemented each other. We had a well organised daily plan which went to plan. The itinerary took us to all parts of the island to see a whole range of birds. The Mallorcan scenery was breath taking. I will certainly speak highly and recommend Naturetrek to my colleagues and certainly go on another Naturetrek trip myself.

Really good. Lots of information given when first enquiring about the trip. Further more detailed information given when accepted on the trip list. Naturetrek were readily available by phone / email to answer any questions or to clarify points. Plane tickets plus Boarding cards sent to us which cuts out airport hassle. This makes a huge difference. The company were very good at keeping us informed.
