      A very enjoyable and informative experience. Luis was friendly and is clearly passionate about nature and the environment, not just reading from a script. Binoculars and telescope added to the experience. A+++++

      Your guide will do their very best to make sure the experience is the best one for you. They will share knowledge of species, ecology, legislation and local history in a stunning location. An absolutely first rate experience.

      Luis gave us interesting information on the flora and fauna of the park as well as the history. He tailored his tour to our interests and made sure to answer all our questions.

      Gorgeous day at Ria Formosa Natural Park

      Luis was a wonderful knowledgeable guide. We learned about the history of the area, plants, birds, fish and mollusks. We really enjoyed the experience and Luis company. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in nature. Highlight was seeing a pair of Sardinian Warblers

      Erlebnis Ria Formosa

      Jantje_H, May 2024
      Luis ist ein toller Naturführer mit großem Wissen über die Natur und die Vögel. Er hat uns viel über die Ria Formosa erzählt und insbesondere haben wir viele Vögel beobachtet. Besonders der Blick durch das Teleskop hat die Schönheit der Vögel gezeigt.
