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.

Cool experience with the self-determined tour. You walk the tour and the explanation for it starts at the next monument. Perfect if you don't want to walk through the city in large groups but rather on your own.

The performance was very professional and very good. All 4 performers were excellent

The audio guide is thorough Easy to use. The site is well maintained and very clean

Great guided tour with a very knowledgeable guide.
