Great value - collected and taken to the start and collected and it was very smooth We have been to Madeira many many times but this was on our bucket list - so glad we did it
It was a fantastic trip, the driver, Luis was spot on time with the pick up, very friendly and knowledgeable. He set our expectations and the experience was worth it.
Breathtaking views and such a magical experience - not to be missed when in Madeira. Would highly recommend to everyone even those with a fear of heights (as have I).
Superb Luis was also very attentive and informative from booking. I was fully informed at everya top of the journey. The experience is definitely worth it and I would highly recommend it
Great time with our comedian tour guide! Very informative, great views, and fun time. The hike itself had lots of steps but has many options to go out as far as you want. The views were exceptional.
