Sergio was a perfect guide! He took us to beautiful places where we could watch birds, cows and horses. The Doñana Park is home to 85 lynxes. Sergio did all his best to show them to us. Unfortunately, they were hiding, but that was only bad luck. The tour includes various activities, e.g. taking a walk at the sea, in the forest, visiting El Rocio and, the rest of the time, going on Safari. We recommend it very much.

It was a wonderful tour in a LandCruiser with the best guide Ramon. He has a lot of knowledge about biology, ecology and nature management which he shared with us. He knows everything about Parque Nacional de Doñana and tells you whatever you want to know. He speaks fluent English and Spanish.

Our guide, Ramon, taught us many things. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun! Unfortunately I couldn't see the lynx, but I did see a lot of red deer. I was also able to see flamingos and various birds, which was a lot of fun. thank you very much!

Too expensive, the excursion leaves much to be desired.... And they don't give time to visit El Rocío.....I wouldn't do it again......

Great guide, saw very nice places and learned a lot.
