We had a very enjoyable Nuns Valley tour with Fred our guide and driver. The road up to the view point above Nuns Valley is not fir the faint hearted. And the village of Nuns Valley is very pretty with a lovely little Church. There were only 4 of us on the tour so were very fortunate. The last stop too was a beautiful little town in what seemed like the middle of a festival to St Peter. Thank you Fred you were first class

Loved this tour. Tino our guide was so nice, knowledgeable and obviously loves where he lives. The stops were good and there was enough time to have a look around. Booking was easy and reasonably priced.

This was such a wonderful tour. Our guide was both funny and knowledgeable...bringing us great information with jokes and fun.

Fabulous morning tour with 2 other couples and our tour guide, Nico, who was very knowledgeable about the area and stopped several times to allow us to admire the views and points of interest along the journey, not just the main stops. We don't usually do organised tours when we're on holiday, but we saw parts of the island that we just would not have otherwise seen. There is no way we would have hired a car to drive ourselves on those steep roads, hairpin bends and sheer drops! Thank you Nico for a wonderful and memorable morning.

We went on 2 trips with Happy Tours and both times our driver was Fred who was excellent. He had a very good knowledge of all aspects of the Island and could answer all our questions. The scenery was amazing and the trips were very interesting. Nuns Valley was just breathtaking and the Sunday Market and the other places we were taken to were wonderful. Excellent value for money and enjoyed by all 5 of us.

Great trip. Very interesting. Beautiful views both from the mountains & the valley. Fred was an excellent driver & guide as the road is very narrow & winding. Would definitely recommend this half day tour.

Tour and guide excellent. Mountain views fantastic. Perhaps the fishing village stop should be changed for somewhere else as parking was limited in view of roadworks and it meant a steep climb down to bay and back in a short time. Good value and highly recommended

We were taken on our tour in a modern comfortable minivan. The driver spoke very good English and gave us lots of information about points of interest on our journey including historical facts. The tour took us up 3000 feet above the Nun’s Valley which gave us spectacular views. Then down into the village. We then went to Cabaras dos Lobos. A very enjoyable afternoon and good value.

Our guide Luis Snr was excellent. Very knowledgeable on the locations, history and general useful information. He was a very safe driver, not easy to give running commentaries whilst negotiating mountain roads. The minibus was modern and very comfortable. Luis did everything he could to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Thanks again.

The actual tour was good …the views were wonderful but our guide/ driver was not very knowledgeable, he didn’t give us much information and was not able to answer questions
