I went on Nicole's 1/2 day tour to Bosque de Olivar and then Pantanos de Villa. What a delightful experience! Nicole has an engaging personality and is very knowledgeable about the birds. She is a very good spotter and was able to get me on almost all the birds she saw. She picked me up and dropped me at my hotel. Both sites are lovey and I saw many many new birds. Nicole provided me with a wonderful morning of birding. On my last day in Lima, Nicole was able to arrange her schedule (on short notice) to take me to Isla de Pucusana in the afternoon. Again she arranged the transportation. I highly recommend this outing. It was so unusual and exciting. Nicole was able to show me many seabird species. She is amazing in her ability to spot birds! I not only had wonderful experiences birding, I felt I made a friend. I can't say enough about Nicole and her birding adventures!
"Highly recommend Avitour Peru! I did 2 tours with Avitour, Olivar Park and Pantanos de Villa (wetland area) this September and October. Nicole, the bird expert/guide is extremely knowledgeable of all birds that comes or resides to Lima and throughout Peru and is a pleasure to be with. The Pantanos de Villa near Lima is unbelievable in terms of birds. So so many locals and migratory birds and unique variety. Pantanos Tour was extremely well planned and organized: coastal area, beach, other wetlands area, an urban park and the marshes via boat. After doing both tours, I feel that it is very important to have a guide that can show you the different areas, the bird species as they present themselves, and spots many of them. In my opinion, it makes for a much better experience rather than struggling on your own. In addition, the tour included drop off and pick up and an eBird list. Top marks all around for both tours! I loved it! "

She speaks English and Spanish well, knows the names in several languages and supplies a book with the most common birds in Lima. If you want to see and know more about the birds that are to be seen in Lima I can definitely recommned Avitour Peru".
