Friendly guide with lots of local knowledge - I was quite pleased with Luis who ensured everything was alright before, during, and after the tour. He provided us all the information we need for the hike and made sure I feel safe all throughout. Punctual and also a good driver. He was kind enough to take us to a viewing point on the way back to Funchal and gave us a bunch of good recommendations of restaurants to try during my stay in Madeira. I highly recommend this tour and Luis for anybody interested in doing hikes in Madeira.

One beautiful experience - It was one very nice day trip for me. Hike was beautiful with lots of waterfalls and amazingly like in fairy tales forest. There’s 4 tunnels you have to walk so have some light with you. We came back wet and happy. Our guide Luis is very intelligent with good sense of humor, very friendly young men. Thank you Luis so much for such a nice experience I definitely come back to Madeira for more walks still waiting for me

Great guide! - Excellent experience! The guide, Luis, sent so much useful information about the hike itself and how to go about it, but then also provided loads more info, answering any questions we had about Madeira and giving plenty of great recommendations. Timing was perfect and even shared his live location when close by for the pickup. Drive was smooth and was the easiest and most hassle free trip I've had here in Madeira. Highly highly recommend!

Nice driver - Nice driver, he knew a lot about the island and the walking route. We even made an extra trip on the way back to a viewpoint, because everyone still had time for that. Very nice

Great experience - The trip to the trail was smooth and on the way Luis was full on insight about Madeira and Funchal and helped us to understand its culture better. I could have not imaged a better trip. Choose him with no second thoughts, he has also got a great sense of humour! Or at least he thinks so :))
