Claudio is really an amazing guide with many interesting facts abou the island. He answered all our questions and gave us many tips on what else to do and see. The whole trip was a nice experience although the weather was not in our favor and we did not see the sunrise at all. Hole is not difficult at all for a fit person, we went with our parents that are in their Sixtinské and they also managed to get to the top. On the way back we stopped at s beautiful viewoints as well as small town i mentioned i wanted to see.

100% recommend - you won’t regret it! Claudio sent us a message the day before to confirm pickup time and advise us on what to wear so we were prepared. We were picked up from our hotel in Funchal and driven to the car park where we began our hike up to the summit. The walk to the summit took us just over an hour - we’re in our 30s, fairly fit, but we were out of breath at a few points! Claudio took regular breaks to tell us about Madeira and interesting bits of information which allowed us to catch our breath! After taking in the incredible sunrise views at the peak, we headed down and enjoyed beautiful views the whole way down, regularly stopping for photos. Before heading back to our hotel, we stopped at Miradouro do Guindaste where we enjoyed the view with absolutely no one else around. Claudio even took a detour for us to see a plane landing just a stones throw from the runway. Claudio went above and beyond to make our experience the best it could be, cannot recommend him enough. Thanks again, Claudio.

Fantastic experience Hiking in Madeira is simple, unforgettable. Claudio is a nice guy and a perfect guide from whom we got a lot of interesting information and who really tried to make everyone in the group feel comfortable. I wish the whole team from Hikingsland and Claudio all the best. I'm pretty sure we'll meet again soon.

Fantastic experience! Claudio was organized, knowledgeable, energetic and fun! We started our hike in the dark with headlights and the fog. The sun rose and the fog and clouds lifted creating ever changing majestic mountain views. The hike was moderate to strenuous with very steep drop offs, creating magnificent views of the jagged and lush mountains and valleys. This is a unique and one of a kind hike, not to be missed! One of the best hikes I have ever done! On the drive back we stopped at a viewpoint for the most amazing view of the Nuns valley. Claudio also had great suggestions for dinning and additional activities, just the best guide ever!!

One of the most beautiful hikes I’ve been on with an outstanding guide. Claudio is an expert on the island and knowledgeable on so many topics. He tailored our tour being patient with our slowest member and showed us places on the island he knew we were interested in. 10 stars one of the most memorable experiences ever.

This is such an amazing experience that I would highly recommend to everyone Claudio was amazing from start to finish and was so knowledgeable about lots of different aspects on the island. The tour was so much more than seeing the sunrise as you get to stop at various points through the tour to see different things. The views on the way down from seeing the sunrise were unbelievable. Claudio described it like Jurassic Park without the dinosaurs and i would 100% agree, they were breathtaking views! You have the full attention of Claudio the whole time so get to ask lots of questions and take your time getting up there and back again which is so much better than travelling with a large group when you’re often travelling at someone else’s pace and end up in crowded beauty spots. We were shown the more remote side and got lots of opportunities for stunning photos and to watch the sunrise without looking at the back of someone’s head!! I will definitely book with Claudio again when we return and highly recommend him to everyone Thanks for an amazing and unforgettable experience!!

Claudio was superb, the perfect guide. If you ever visit Madeira please book this we highly recommend. He picked us up early (5:30am) and drove to the parking site to start the hike. I nearly collapsed after 10 minutes, as I suffer with asthma as oxygen is a problem at this height. However, my limit was 1810 metres above sea level. Claudio was very patient and gave us plenty of time to reach this house where we watched the sunrise. I personally couldn’t make the summit, but the view we had was beautiful. We could see the stars in the morning which was amazing. Being up so high it is dead quiet. After the sunrise we where then taken to a lovely little bakery cafe where we enjoyed some lovely cakes, the price will shock you as it’s super cheap. Then we were also taken to 2 photo vantage points. His knowledge of the island is outstanding. It was the best experience we have ever had in our life.

It was one of the most beautiful experience made in Madeira. Claudio is truly an amazing guide. He picked up at our hotel and drove us up to Pico Ruivo. During the walk up to the summit Claudio shared with us a lot of interest information about the surrounding mountains and once arrived he searched for us the best where we could enjoy the sunrise and also took us some photos which shared with us on WhatsApp. He is very well informed on the history of the island and gave us a lot of suggestion on the better place to visit in Funchal.

We absolutely loved every minute of our sunrise hike. Claudio is a great guy, attentive, full of interesting information and super friendly. Most importantly, we felt safe in his company. Our morning started with a prompt pick up and a comfortable drive up to the mountain. We were greeted by a beautiful starry sky before setting off on our hike. Despite being very dark, Claudio managed to make the walk interesting by sharing facts about the landscape and plants. And the view from the summit was everything we hoped for and more. Absolutely beautiful! The walk back down the mountain was an entirely different experience, we still enjoyed the sight of the clouds below us but with wonderful views of the mountains surrounding us and the warmth of the sun. We had 2 fantastic adventures in one morning. For a private, unforgettable experience, this tour is exceptionally good value for money and we cannot recommend it highly enough.
