Driver knew island extremely well and explained a lot. Mini bus felt new and had a powerful engine so driving up all the steep twisty roads was not a problem. We had perfect weather, blue skies clear visibility.

Great trip with friendly and knowledgeable guide. The scenery was stunning and the trip ended almost in another world having driven through the clouds to the top of Pico do Arieiro 1,810 metres above sea level.

Anne T

All in all an excellent trip with a very knowledgeable driver. Would have liked longer on pico (1st stop) and less 20-30 mins stop’s for photos (5-10 mins would be long enough for photos) Thelevada walk was lovely but it would have been better to have time for coffee at the end of the walk.

Thanks a lot to DG Travel for interesting, well organized tours! I did with them East Tour, West Tour, and the levada Ribeiro Frio-Portela. Always punctual, the guides are professional, knowledgeable, funny. Got a lot of information about the island, stunning views and amazing photos! Special thank to Ana who helped me to choose the tours:)

Zorana_B

Appaling guide. Drove as if was on a rally with 12 passengers stuffed in a small van, then SHOUTED and poked fingers at a passenger when she dared ask a question. Left one of the passengers at a location when she was a bit late. Then found her on a road. Moody, nasty, walked in filthy trousers which were not washed for at least a week. Rude. The man needs a new job. Disgraceful. We paid to get a nice day, on a holiday and got this clown to insult us

Very nice experience. Bruno was a fantastic guide. The tour is very nice and complete, it worth it because you see a lot of places in just a day.

Irene_S

Value for money tour with good stops and courteous driver. Did well to speak in English and French whilst driving.

readteresa

Great full day trip giving you a taster of each stop. Knowledgeable and friendly guide. Lunch was extra but great value. Some spectacular views of this great island which I wouldn’t have known about.

andreassK6937RU

Good Driver with a lot of details from geography, peoples, nature and culture. The tour was in english and german language.

PhantomGirl95

Friendly staff, mostly good drivers and great knowledge on the trips. To note - they're the cheapest for the 3 trips package!! Wasn't 110% happy, messaged and they've offered us something special for next time. Great! Thank you! ☺️ We did the Nun's Valley (half a day), East and West Tour (full days) with them.
