“I really enjoyed seeing the birds of Southern Mexico and also where they live. We see the mountains, the sea and the lowland rain forest and wetlands. Such a huge variety.”

“The tour was all that I unexpected and more. Anuar was an excellent birding guide that was very respectful to the guests. George was an excellent driver and partner of Anuar. The guys are a great team. I felt safe while driving and the guys were a great help both ordering meals and helping with the Spanish language in general. Above all I saw all the birds I wanted to see very well. Unbelievable!”

“Well organised tour by Eagle - Eye, with a guide who had great knowledge of Mexican birds and where to find them. This helped with finding the many endemics we'd hoped to see along with many others. Great variety of habitat from plains to mountains to coast to swampy land. Added to this 2 visits to Mexican historical sites plus their birds added an extra piece of variety and interest.”

“Excellent tour, well organized and extensive. It combined serious and intense birding with chances to see archeological sites and as well as demonstrations of indigenous craft. It covered a lot of different habitats from sea shore to cloud forest all of which was very interesting. I am left with a sense of southern Mexico landscape, indigenous culture and the experience of seeing many 'new to me' bird species in a variety of habitats.”

“Excellent, knowledgeable guides. Not only phenomenal hearing of bird calls, but bionic eyes picking out birds in the far distance. They kept working even though one had covid, and the other had diarrhea. Each guide were proficient in using their scopes to let us see more detailed images of birds. They tried to always insure everyone saw the target birds. The group size of 11 was perfect. More would have been too many scrambling for a peek. Hecktor and Olivier were excellent.”

“Although some days had a long drive, the end results were worth it; every day new habitats with interesting birds, butterflies and always a super menu to choose from after a long day!”

“Very interesting. An excellent guide and driver. As a novice birder surrounded by 5 experts it was at times a bit overwhelming. However they were very patient and i hope i shall be able to see some of their photos as unfortunately my own device for pics was stolen in Oaxaca. It was my 1st trip with E. E. I'm happy that i joined the tour. The only thing i would have found useful would be a more detailed explanation at the start of every day as to our itinerary. The only accommodation/food i found unsatisfactory was in Palenque. Arriega food the best. A simple place but v friendly”
