Naturetrek Traveller Reviews

This was a search for many of the elusive birds and animals to be found in central Sweden, including Elk, Great Grey Owl and Three-toed Woodpecker. We travelled widely visiting a wide variety of habitats and experiencing every kind of weather from sunny evenings to mountain blizzards. We saw just about everything we were hoping for and many things besides. People were friendly, welcoming and extremely helpful. A great holiday!

Naturetrek is a very experienced operator and I have travelled with them previously. Their admin is excellent and there is a real sense of a very personal service. Tour leaders and ground staff are very professional and work tirelessly to ensure excellent service and attention to detail

Wonderful flowers, varied programme, knowledgeable and extremely helpful tour leaders. Super hotel with great food and friendly staff. Lovely grounds including an open-air spring water Kneippanlage - perfect for hot tired limbs at the end of the day (and free!)

Nature trek understands our needs and exceeds our expectations. Our extension to visit friends was facilitated by them and the arrangements were perfect. The Bavarian Alps seemed to suit us and we came home with a feeling of wellbeing.

A superb week spent in Bavaria gently walking in the beautiful wild flower meadows of Bavaria lead by a botanical expert. Accommodation was in a quiet, friendly and comfortable hotel set in stunning mountain scenery.

The orgsisation was superb, the people we dealt with all efficient, friendly and helpful.

I had a week in the Abruzzo National Park with Naturetrek, during which we walked through meadows of wonderful wildflowers, observed many local species of Birds, and Butterflies, and came across several Mammals. We also experienced superb local food during our legendary Naturetrek picnics! Our hotel, the Aubergo Paradiso, was perfect as our base for the weeks expeditions, and we were exceedingly well looked after by our Hosts Geraldine and Marco. Their Menu was very varied, and very plentiful! The absolute highlight of the week, though, has to be our sighting of both a Male and Female Marsican Bear! This was on our last evening, and I think everyone had resigned themselves to not seeing Bears on this trip. However, due to the sharp eyes of one of the Guides, we were treated to at least half an hour watching these wonderful Animals! What a high we were all on! Altogether, an absolutely great trip.

I think my previous comments say it all about Naturetrek

Excellent accommodation in a beautifully located hotel with good food. A first rate selection of walks which gave a very good experience of the flora and fauna of the area. Group leaders were very knowledgeable and had researched the activities in advance so that everything ran like clockwork. Leaders also related well to all members of the group so that the overall experience was very enjoyable.

Efficient - they delivered what they advertised. Any queries were dealt with promptly and fully. Fully delivered on their brochure description.

The tour leaders listened carefully to everyone's requests and quietly and quickly ensured that they were delt with. Activities were varied to accommodate novice and experienced botanists and programmes changed to take into account exceptionally high temperatures. The hotel facilities were very good and the staff were friendly and helpful.

There was a lot of pre-tour information provided which meant that we got exactly what we expected from the holiday.

A perfect combination of culture and nature connecting the neolithic monuments with exciting wildlife on Orkney islands including the observation of killer whales (orcas,endemic Primula scotica and gannet´s and puffin´s colony on cliffs.

Well organized trip in a small group of highly interested and inspiring persons.

Naturetrek are well organised, use well informed local guides and plan the itinerary extremely well. Have used them for both UK and foreigh trips and everything works like clockwork.

We had an extremely enjoyable and very well organised trip to Romania and saw many wonderful and colourful birds and of course the black bears and some enchanting sousliks! In spite of the unusually cold and windy weather on the delta it did not spoil our enjoyment of the trip and all our companions were very friendly. The guides tailored it very well to the abilities of the people on the trip. The accommodation in the Guest Houses was very good and the welcome from the Romanians much appreciated. The boat was very comfortable and we really appreciated no phones and no wi-fi for a short while!

This is our fourth trip with Naturetrek and I would have no hesitation in recommending them as they are extremely efficient down to the last detail. We have been to Tasmania, Madagascar and the Arctic as well as Romania and have thoroughly enjoyed all the trips.

Outstanding organisation and excellent tour leaders made this a very special holiday. The English leader was very knowledgeable and worked hard to ensure everyone was included. The local guide was outstanding in his knowledge of all things Slovakian - culture, history, and all the natural environment and arranged for other local guides, who lived in the areas visited, to take us to exceptional locations.

First class organisation at a a very competative price.
