Excellent tour with a variety of… Excellent tour with a variety of habitats. Jose was an outstanding tour leader not only because of his uncanny ability to spot and identify birds but manage a sometimes challenging tour.He got us through several land slides unscathed! One suggestion. We could have been provided, as Australian tours are, with a mid-morning and mid-afternoon cup of tea and snack and break. As an 81 year-old I could keep up but would have welcomed some breaks.

Very good birding experience Nice people , decent lodgings, adequate food in a spectacular setting. The lodge is a great birding location within easy range of very good birding sites. Our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable of the plethora of bird species we encountered, as was the driver who often pointed out birds for us. All in all the trip met our expectations. A fun trip

We spent 5 wonderful days in and around… We spent 5 wonderful days in and around Tandayapa with Alex Luna. He was wonderful with an uncanny ability to spot birds by sight and sound. He was easy to be with and very patient with those of us who were less experienced. He did everything in his power to make this an enjoyable trip. He also spent time with me setting up for photos at the hummingbird feeders at Tandayapa Lodge and I was able to get some memorable shots. Our driver Marco was also wonderful. The roads we travelled were dark, foggy, muddy, bumpy and often single-laned and he was able to get us safely to our various destinations with confidence. Can't say enough good about Alex and our experience in Ecuador. I would recommend Tropical Birding to anyone interested in serious birdwatching.

The tour was wonderful The tour was wonderful - covering almost 2,000 miles from Curitiba to Belo Horizonte and discovering 458 species of birds. Beautiful sights! Nick Athanas is an expert bird finder and is fascinating to watch. Also picked up some good photo tips from him. We already miss the place and want to do it again!

ultimate Warbler tour- USA I throughly enjoyed this tour. It was my first ever organised birdwatching trip and I traveled alone so I arrived at the start nervous and not really knowing what to expect. Fortunately the group dynamic was excellent with everybody getting along well and our leader Andres managed to balance the days to accommodate everyone’s wishes. We saw everything we set out to see and a few surprises were thrown in. Accommodation was fine and generally meals were good with an odd exception . The initial rental minibus could have been better and comfort improved once this was changed by the car rental company part way through the tour
