Are there companies which organize self-driven tours? (2 Viewers)

On a recent trip, I realized that proper research and organization of a birding trip takes enormous amount of time, which I hardly have anymore. But I still prefer to travel on my own pace.

Are there companies which sell self-driven tours or similar? I would be interested in somebody renting a car, booking hotels, giving me a set of GPS coordinates of places to stop and lists of birds to look at them, and I would travel on my own.

Gunnar Engblom (Kolibri Expeditions, Peru) and Sid Francis (Sichuan Birding, China) used to offer this kind of service. Don't know if they still do

Finntours do as well I believe, with text support as you go

We used Sarus Bird tours to do this for us in Japan and they do it elsewhere too.
We used Wild Earth to do a similar thing in New Zealand.

I can offer you a self-drive to some destinations, depends if those match with where you want to go ;-)

Why not? A shared trip is my second most favorite thing! BTW, how was the north-eastern Brazil?

I had a blast in NE Brazil, will write a trip report in the coming month.
My album on FB should be visible (I have it on 'public' at the moment), so have a look before I restrict access to (default) 'friends only'.

Aratinga in Costa Rica are great. We have used Pieter twice now and have another tour booked round Christmas time. Extrely good prices too.
