We really enjoyed the trail PR1.2 . We received all the information the day before and the transport was fine. The driver was very friendly and punctual.
We walked PR1 and Flávio our driver was amazing, very friendly and knowledgable. Great communication beforehand to confirm times and vehicles. Also had Vitor for PR8 lovely driver great communication and very friendly. Would recommend this company for booking levadas and PR walks in Madeira. Thank you!

Amazing service from Fabio thank you !
Thank you very much for taking the time to review your experience with us. We are glad to read that Fabio helped making your experience even better. Thank you
An absolutely incredible day! Fabio was great, really knowledgeable about all the hikes and the island in general. Punctual and professional service all the way. If you want to do the hikes but don't want to be part of a large, guided group then this is perfect. You get the freedom to explore as you want, but safe in the knowledge that all transport is arranged and that help is on hand if needed. We were collected from our accommodation and taken to the start point where Fabio talked us through the hike, things to look for, and general advice. Once the hike was finished, he was waiting at a pre arranged meetup point which meant we avoided all the coaches and the busy car park. I can't recommend these guys enough. Hopefully we'll be back soon for the PR8 hike. Thank you!

Thank you very much for taking the time to review us. We are glad to read that everything worked out well. We look forward to welcoming you again. All the best
Wonderful organization to a beautiful day! The company helped us secure our tickets to a sold out hike (PR1) which just reopened after 2 years. It was impossible to get tickets on the government site and this team helped secure the tickets for us allowing us to go on the amazing hike!!! Of course they also picked us up and took us to the trail head and back home after. Andre the driver had amazing English and was very funny. He also showed us some good Portuguese music. A wonderful day!
Thank you very much for taking the time to review us. We are glad to see that you had a great day with André (he will be happy to read this). Thank you once again and we hope to see you again
Everything went well, our driver Fabio was a nice guy who picked us up as planned and is a very good driver with good informations about the hikes and Madeira itself. Can fully recommend this Tour!

Everything perfect! The driver, Fabio, despite having contracted in English the service, has translated it into Spanish perfectly. Brigade!
Our driver Fabio picked us up at the hotel, before he sent us a picture of the car and communicated/ confirmed his arriving time once more. We were super happy with the great communication during the day. Everything went smoothly and we had a wonderful day exploring the two peaks.
