★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 61 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $150Our pick

Review of Doñana’s small-group birding day trip from Seville, with expert guides, binoculars, varied habitats, hotel pickup, and practical tips.

“Vincent was an outstanding guide. He was very skilled at spotting birds and kindly set up his scope so that we could observe their behaviour at leisure. He speaks excellent English so we were able to converse comfortably all day about birds, as well as life in Spain. We visited several different habitats and thoroughly enjoyed beautiful Doñana Park. Vincent's vehicle is very comfortable. We would recommend Vincent's service to all bird-lovers, both serious and occasional, like us.”

He was friendly, kind and knew not just about birds but the insects and the plants as well! We learned a ton and felt a lot more grounded in the landscapes we were in because of his expertise.

Review of Valencia’s Albufera tour with rice fields, birdwatching, a 45-minute boat ride, hotel pickup, and traditional paella.

“It was a pleasant experience and a very varied excursion combining getting to know the Albufera area (including an enjoyable boat ride on the lake among reeds), planned bird watching at the visitor's centre but also spontaneous bird watching when the occasion arose on the way, plus a delightful meal away from tourist traps in an authentic restaurant. David was very nice and we had interesting conversation with him. It was a stress-free and delightful day.”
