This tour was well organized in the sense of length and time for wc and small pauses. It was an easy walk with few uphill places meaning can suit everyone. Marta was a funny guide and talked loud and clear 😃

Great walk, great guide who looked out for members of the group who had fear of heights or the dark. A great day.

Caldeirão Verde Levadas Walk. The walk was very nice, beautiful views, quiet, peaceful – not that many people around. Lots of stops to look around. Bring some kind of a source of light (cell phone or flashlight) – there are tunnels on the walk + proper shoes (definately not flipflops!!!). Difficulty – easy to moderate. Bruno our tour guide, was very friendly, likes to talk, careful and patient. The size ouf our group was great. Silvano (driver) safe and friendly as well. Was picked up on time at the agreed location. Comfortable and clean car. Overral great experience – wouldn‘t have any issues to use them again with then if I get chance to get back to Madeira. Thank you Bruno and Silvano – I wish you all the best – and hopefuly I‘ll get a chance to go back.

Fabulous excellent walk and good guide. Only issue was the change in pick up point that we were not informed of. Soon remedied and they picked us up. Nice moderate flat walk and stunning scenery.

I loved this walk because it was super beautiful, the nature, the way to walk... the guide was ok. But you can easily walk this one yourself because you have to walk and walk back the same way anyways. So no need for a guide I think.

The pick up was perfect, the guide was brilliant and knowledgeable. All in all it was a great day out and a super walk that was better than expected.

Really eye opening to see the levada and the surrounding vegetation but parts of the path can get very narrow and you will have to walk in a single line, making it difficult to hear the tour guide. Also we had about 30 minutes at the waterfalls which was great, but wish we had could’ve had more time to take in the sights along the way. There was another tour group behind us and we definitely felt rushed to keep moving since there’s only 1 way.

They don’t go the extra step. Their email to me said they would pick me up at the address I was staying at and where I waited for them. It also obscurely listed another location, so obscurely that I didn’t recognize it as a location. Although only 30 yards apart, they didn’t look down the street to see me waiting with my backpack. And they were 45 minutes late, as it turned out. So I didn’t get to do the hike and didn’t get a refund. Madeira is a long ways to travel and then not do the hiking you expected to do.

This was the least enjoyable walk we experienced out of three. It was rushed and you didn't feel you could even stop to take a photo or enjoy the experience. The tour guide did say he expected rain which was why the walk was rushed but it was a light shower and we would have preferred to have taken things slower and use my waterproof. I think I spent the entire day looking at my boots! Also, when sent information about what items you need it did not mention a torch which you do indeed need to have!
