Fantastic! - Thoroughly recommend- the tour was excellent. Our guide gave lots of interesting information (but not too much to take in). The coach sat 16 people (plus the driver) and was very comfortable. Saw lots of interesting places and got to spend 2 hours in Porto Moniz (longer than many other similar tours) so had plenty of time for a swim in the lava pools there.
