Excellent tour - Wow, we had a great time with our guide JoAnn. She was a great driver and knowledgeable about the island and the tour. The van was comfortable and seemed well maintained as we drove some crazy windy roads through the mountains. We had a perfect amount of time at each stop. Lunch reservations were made for us at a really nice place after the levado walk. All in all, excellent.

Most beautiful places guided by William - The guide, William , was fantastic! He gave us time to enjoy meal or finish a walk, didn't rush us. He introduced us to an interesting places. In general the trip was well organised with beautiful views and top class guide, highly recommended . I need to mention that we travel in small groups in a Mercedes minibus.

Glorious sunshine and views - This tour started well with the Pico do Arieiro. Amazing views and scenery and so glad we were able to do this in the sunshine. We would have liked longer up here. After this,we enjoyed the short Levada walk which was easy walking and very pretty with the birds and vegetation. And then we had an enjoyable meal in a restaurant stop nearby. I do feel that after this the tour fizzled out a little. We drove over to Santana (which is really not worth the effort. The little houses are sweet but it's so touristy). We didn't enjoy this bit. We then drove to the peninsula which was very barren and imposing. All in all a good day out but for us, it would have been better to spend longer at the Pico and the Levada. Our guide was very kind and informative and we enjoyed the company of the other passengers.

Eastern tour - The tour guide didn’t openly share her knowledge about the excursion area. The ac in the van wasn’t functioning and there was no speaker in the van which made it difficult to hear the driver. Those in our group felt the driver was not very friendly.
