Awesome views, great guide. Quite grouted but that was something to expect. 25 fountains itself was quite disapointing, but over all views were great. Having wet shoes was impossible to avoid. Nice surprise that ending point wasn't same than starting point, means way less clinbing up hill. Walking through a 800 meter long dark tunnel in end of the trip was exiting! Only complain is that in confirmatin on pick-up time come quite late in previous evening, even it was mentioned it should come 24 hours before.

Great views. Walking paths give you amazing access to the cliffs and waterfalls of the island. A lot of steep downhill. So bring good shoes.

The trail itself was stunning and honestly very accessible. There are quite a lot of stairs but that's about the only difficulty there is. The waterfalls are gorgeous and the views are spectacular. Our tour guide Bruno was lovely and informative as well. Not a bad price for this trip.

Great guide and lovely mux of walking companions from all over europe. Exceeded our expectiations in terms of scenery and guide was a mine of information. Great day.

Great Guide, Elena was fantastic! Unfortunatly the paths and spots are heavily crowded. Its too much tourism at this place. But for what it is, the trip was very well organized and if you want to go there, this tour is a good way to get there and you will be very well guided along the levadas and one-way-foodpths. Elena will explain a little inside to the local botany as well.

It was a good trip with a nice and attentive guide. They picked us up close to our hotel and drove us back there after the trip. We had a great walk along the levadas in speed comfortable for the group. We had enough time to make the puctures and enjoy the nature

Walk was lovely and the guide was nice and Informent but spoilt by nature meetings not contacting me with time and meeting point was like I didn’t exist till I contacted the main tourist operator who got it sorted couldn’t get in touch by phone or e mail actually I did send them e mail but never got back so really disappointed has it was a birthday treat for my partner caused me to much stress booked on line a few months in advance I won’t book on line again

Wonderful experience. The rain made it even nicer because it gave the whole nature a different Color. The air is so clean that you feel it with every breath. Also your skin plumps up a lot. The guide was so nice and helpful. I felt very dizzy and shivered a lot which took my energy and he helped me all the way back, and stayed with me all the time. He didn’t make me feel that I am a burden but he always reassured me. If you book any tours than please only work this company. You are in safe hands.

Very nice walk with a great guide. Mostly downhill with a 170 steps uphill part. Trail is packed with other tourists reducing the experience a bit.
