Great experience with Bruno. A lovely funny and friendly man. I would definitely do one of his walks again
Great hike! lush forest and landscapes!
Words can’t describe the beauty Madeira has! This walk was such a great experience, and the guide was very informative.
a levada do rei é uma caminhada fácil e com vistas fantásticas da floresta da Madeira, o guia era uma pessoa muito simpática e acessível com informação sobre a fauna e a flora o condutor que me veio buscar e depois levar ao hotel também muito simpático. É uma experiência a não perder para quem vem à Madeira, há locais que não se vêem da estrada, só mesmo a pé.
Randonnée de 4h aller retour tranquille à plat de long d'une magnifique Levadas jusqu'à sa source.. Guide très compétent et compréhensif. Ramassage efficace en ville.
Beautiful scenery. Description of walk was accurate. Driver/guide was excellent- knowledgeable, encouraging & considerate of the abilities of the whole group.
Punctual transport to collect us.Our guide Bruno was knowledgeable about the environment and flora whilst walking. It was obvious he enjoyed his work, and had a great rapport with the group. Many thanks, I would recommend the company
