From the start of my email contact with Flevo Birdwatching, I was very happy with their prompt replies and flexibility with my schedule. Robert de Groot picked me up at my hotel and we headed out to Oostvardersplassen for several hours of amazing birding and serene landscape just outside of Amsterdam. Robert immediately began finding and identifying everything from waders, geese, ducks, songbirds to raptors along with the several introduced "grazers" out on the plains of this nature preserve and some great views of red fox. He brought a very nice pair of binos for me to use and had a great scope. The experience was enhanced by Robert's knowledge of the history, geography and other cultural aspects of the area which made for a wonderful day out of the City. I highly recommend Flevo Birdwatching, and would be pleased to have Robert as my guide again. Next on the list - Texel Island!

Enjoyed our second birdwatching trip with Taco, from FlevoBirdwatching. This is a very professional organisation, responding to emails promptly, providing detailed travel instructions and a list of the birds seen and heard during the trip. Taco is an expert guide, with great local knowledge, observant 'eyes' and 'ears' which meant we made the most of our five hours in Oostvaardersplassen, a lovely, peaceful setting near Amsterdam.

Several months ago, we decided to spend a few additional days in Amsterdam at the end of a Rhine River cruise. As enthusiastic senior birdwatchers from California, a birding trip was a natural choice for us. As the result of an internet search, we contacted FlevoBirdwatching by email and were impressed with the organization’s professionalism and responsiveness to our limited time, physical limitations, and our limitless desire to see birds. By email, FlevoBirdwatching provided details on tour location, costs, and directions. At the end of April, following their directions, we traveled by train from Schipol Airport to the Almere Buiten station where our guide, Taco Spanbroek, met us. We three spent a wonderful half day in one of the Netherlands' beautiful park, Oostvaardersplassen, driving to four different sites easily accessible by car to minimize our walking. In four hours, we saw 68 bird species, many of them life birds for us. The weather was gray and rainy, but the birds seemed to love the conditions. At every stop, we were surrounded by singing birds, including Common Cuckoo, Bluethroat, and Savi’s Warbler; and we saw a variety of ducks, shelducks, and geese gliding across the inlets and among reeds. Taco knows the area very well, and is a knowledgeable and personable guide. The tour and Taco added a natural dimension to our wonderful trip. We had a memorable morning and highly recommend FlevoBirdwatching and our guide, Taco Spanbroek.
