Customer Reviews
The trip was well planned and gave an opportunity to walk in different parts of the island, including a chance to stay by the sea. All the hotels were comfortable and usually quiet. There were some quirks such as all hotels having terrible coffee machines but in general the standard was high. The group leader Felipe was excellent, friendly, calm and capable in all circumstances, rearranging the programme to suit the changeable weather.
Fantastic walking trip to Madeira. The guide, Joao, was outstanding. Huge thanks to him for everything. The itinerary and walks were a good balance of traditional tourist activities and something a bit different. Hotels were great. Overall, a fantastic holiday.
Organised and efficient, good value
