Great time - Had a great experience. Felipe is such a kind soul, and it was very fun to be driven by him. He clearly explained everything we needed to know for the hike multiple times. He also gave a lot of great advice on things to do and food to try in Madeira. You can tell he loves what he does, and that made the experience all the better. As for the hike, it's stunning! Very doable and easy.

Super views - The first ride with this provider was good so I booked my second transfer here as well. Philippe came to pick me up again. This time also had a nice ride in the minivan. Route explained again, spot for the sunrise as a tip and what time we were picked up again. There was a strong wind that day and certainly on some stretches on top of the cliffs. The views are magnificent on the hiking route. Do take into account a lot of stairs up and down. It is described as easy family walk, but your legs (and knees) should be in good shape. Again the views are amazing! Mountains, cliffs, ocean. Great. I walked very early, on the way back it was a lot busier. So if you like peace and quiet I would definitely take the sunrise option!

An amazing hike and experience - Amazing hike. A close second favourite behind Pico do Arieiro. The views are unrivalled and I felt like I was visiting heaven! It was such a great hike and experience, which was a little tougher than expected but still very doable. There is a lovely cafe at the end that does get very busy but the coffee was nice (and a good price). Don't forget a euro if you need the loo though! We didn't have one but luckily we found one on the floor halfway through the hike 😂 also, if it is sunny when you do it you MUST bring suncream. The sun is very strong there because of the sea and we had to reapply suncream a few times to prevent a burn. Nuno was a great and welcoming driver and host. We had a great chat on the way there and back. He was super punctual as well as a good laugh. Thank you very much! I'd definitely book again and I can't wait to come back and do another self-guided tour with this company when we return to Madeira in the future.

Self guided PR8 hike with pick up service - Good way to do PR8 in own pace. Stunning scenery during the hike. Friendly driver with good local knowledge. Transport was practical and seatbelt was too tight for a comfortable car journey. Good response and information before the trip. Originally booked for 9:15am and informed to have 10:20am pick up time at hotel without any reason. Time allowed (under 4 hours) to complete the trail (6km in total back and forth) was tight as it was recommended to do 2.5 hours one way, so felt rushed on the way back.

Poor service - Late night around 9pm my tour is cancelled, due to bad weather reson what they said to "GetYourGuide" for cancellation which is lie! Weather is perfect. Real reson was insufficient number of people, which is big fault of provider. Be very careful when you booking with them, have some B plan.
