Unforgettable hike in Madeira. Louis went above and beyond. - Due to a last-minute plan change, we booked this tour just one day in advance and we were lucky to find Louis at a great price. He was super nice with a great sense of humour, and it never felt like he was just driving us to the destination. Even though it was a self-guided tour, he explained the trail clearly and gave excellent advice. On the way back, he recommended great restaurants, beautiful sunset spots, and even took us to a stunning mirador without us having to ask that's truly going the extra mile. He happily shared lots of interesting information about Madeira the whole time. We had a wonderful hike, the best recommendations, and memories that will stay with us forever. I will definitely contact Louis again if I return to Madeira someday.

Great day because of a great guide - Luis was a great guide. He made sure we understood the route well before setting off. He provided us with so much information about Madeira and later sent us food and entertainment suggestions. My walking buddy (who I met that day) and I finished early so he took us to a local place to get out of the rain and get a warm drink while we waited for the others. It was a tough trail (for me), but I thoroughly enjoyed the day with Luis.
