Relaxed tour with great views - This is a very relaxed tour. If you are looking for some great views, pictures, and a chill pace this is the tour for you. 3 stops, lots of time for coffee, pastry, wandering. At no point did I feel rushed. The valley is the highlight and spectacular!

Nuns Valley on a Sunday. - A well paced trip, sandwiched nicely to relax between the challenging hikes. We stopped off multiple points on interest for photos and ice cream. Fabio was a great guide, really knows his stuff about Madeira, made it enjoyable and informative. Nuns valley view point was incredible, ample time to enjoy the scenery. We went on a Sunday and nuns valley was very quiet, as locals were probably resting. No pressure souvenir shops, in fact cheaper than Funchal for items we wanted to buy. Last stop over was fishing village, enough for pics and looking around.

Benthams on tour - The climb to the viewpoint is challenging but the rainbow on our tour made it worthwhile. Luciano was a fantastic guide and a mine of information with great wit and enthusiasm. Would highly recommend.

Well worth a visit. - Best in the summer months. Was covered by cloud in March though clear when we descended to the valley itself. A great trip never the less.

Enjoyable Afternoon - The Tour of the Nun’s Valley is well worth the visit. A lovely short drive to a spectacular view point overlooking the valley. The stop in the Nun’s valley was brief, but enough time for a coffee and to take in the view. The stop in Câmara de Lobos was also interesting to have a Poncha.

Cute afternoon out! - Bruno shared an immense amount of knowledge of the locality and Madeira's culture throughout the trip in both English and German. We spent an appropriate amount of time at each of the stops. Although an initial steep walk, most definitely not a hike and there's enough time to go at a leisurely pace. I would recommend this as a relaxing trip to see some of the island.

Competent guide. - Lovely guide with excellent language skills. The trip was late to start because of road closure but we saw all the places listed. I would have liked more time at the viewpoint though . I can recommend going.
