“Honestly I wasn't looking forward to this hike, I was already dehydrated and concerned about my fitness level. Our guide was honest from the start and said some parts of the hike were going to be difficult. We set off (jumpers on) the trail is a mixture of steps and paths. The whole way is not steps, which I had read on other reviews. The trail was busy, but not to the point where it was overbearing and the little stops every so often made you get your breath back.

“If you’re on Madeira, this tour is a MUST! It was really amazing, you get to see a lot of the island and it’s famous sights. Our guide was amazing, he showed us so many things and shared interesting stories about the island, it’s ecosystem along with various plants specific for the island. The lunch option for 12€ is an awesome bargain - you get a starter, main dish, dessert and one drink. I would highly recommend.”

“Wonderful experience. Private tour. Started with Catarina (she was so helpful) and then with our wonderful guide Charlotte and our driver. Pick up time was on time. Charlotte took very good care of us, being that we are a group of 52-62 years olds. She made sure we were ok to very end of the challenging hike. We did Pico do Areeiro -Pico Ruivo - Achada do Teixeira. It was crazy beautiful. We could not have done it without Charlotte. Highly recommended.”
