We traveled with Diogo and Eduardo on two different days both were fantastic guides. They were ver knowledgeable and funny and had lots of stories to share and made our day fun. Relaxing and memorable. We had such a wonderful time that we are planning to come back during the summer to experience the beautiful flowers and views. Thank you for a wonderful vacation.

Disappointed in this tour. We were 2 English speaking tourists with 6 Portuguese speaking tourists. We were told the tour would offer information & descriptions in both languages. But 95% was in Portuguese (I am not exaggerating). There were long conversations with the Portuguese tourists and we felt completely left out. The van was very hot for 9 people and the driver would not turn on the air conditioning. The other 6 tourists were able to sit together but my friend and I were not and not even in the same row of seats. I also feel it’s distracting when tourists answer calls on their cell phone and play loud music. And a safety note, the driver drove far too fast at times. This was the tour from hell, as far as I am concerned.

Our tour guide, Francesco, was amazing! He gave the tour in both Portuguese and English, and really took care of us. Our trip was on a rainy, foggy day, which meant we had to skip some of our tour stops. He was able to squeeze in a few extra stops just to make our trip awesome! He was fun, had a great sense of humor, and was very accomidating and knowlegable. We definitely recommend this tour!

This was a great tour and we saw so many things. Eduardo was our guide and he was great -- knowledgable and friendly and a good driver. My favorite part was Ponta (or miraduro) da Madurgada. The views from this point are amazing and I loved the park area, where you can walk down several levels along the slope of the hill and gardeners have created lovely picnic areas.. We stopped for lunch at a little restaurant, but we got a full plate of food! you can choose meat or fish. Myself and my fellow tourist choose the meat. We got big piece of chicken and beef, salad and potatoes. Beer or wine was inlcuded with the meal and also dessart. We were fortunate that since it was just 2 people we were able 'customize' out trip a little.

Just an excellent tour! Not the popular tourist route, the region is full of hidden treasures and spectacular view! Plus Leo - a educated, cultivated guide made our time unforgeable! Obrigado! Peter

Infelizmente a experiência foi cancelada...PF. deviam adaptar a vossa avaliação aos tempos do Covid - 19, criando um item para os casos de cancelamento na classificação. Esta não se realizou, penso que por falta de inscrições, ou pq o espaço não está aberto ao público, como acontece em vários casos, o que neste contexto há que compreender...
