This was a tough but thoroughly enjoyable trip in a very beautiful part of the world. The challenging grade is about right; be prepared for a lot of rocky steep ascent and descent including a fair amount of scrambling and using fixed cables/chains. Some parts (particularly the ascent to La Om on Day 4 and the ridge along the top) are pretty exposed. There is a good mix of tougher and somewhat easier days to break things up with some nice forest and meadow sections. The reward is some amazing scenery in a relatively unspoilt part of the world. The whole trip was very well organised and accommodation at Villa Hermani was very clean and comfortable, with friendly hosts and great food. The mountain huts were a good experience but be prepared for very basic toilet and sanitary facilities.

Loved the organization of our Scotland trip! Steven, our guide, was excellent! Some of my favorite trips were Bosnia and Beyond and Baltics in Winter (older version). Great communication with the US office in planning.

Amazing discovery of the fjords via hiking, cruise, ferry rides and mini-bus travel. The accommodations at Nes Gard and Fjaerland Fjordstove Hotel added to the spectacular hiking. Views of the fjords and farm-to-table food was amazing at both Inns. Each day of hiking was a unique experience ; all of which offered amazing views.

The island's breathtaking landscapes and diverse walking trails make it a paradise for nature enthusiasts and hikers. Each day was a new adventure, with outstanding walks that showcased Madeira's natural beauty, from lush forests to stunning coastal views. The itinerary allowed us to experience all that Madeira had to offer from off the beaten tracks to Funchal city.
What truly made this trip exceptional was our tour leader, Benny. He was fantastic at bringing our group together, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere that enhanced the entire experience. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the island were infectious, and he always made sure everyone was having a great time.
The weather was perfect throughout our stay, which only added to the enjoyment of exploring the island. Whether you're an avid hiker or just looking for a unique getaway, I wholeheartedly recommend a holiday in Madeira. It's an experience you won't forget!
