To be redone - Great views and an excellent guide. He set a great mood in the band. This in the desire to come back. Good adaptability due to a closed end of the course.

Great views - Who ever said 70+ people can do this are lying unless they are super super fit. Expect to climb a lot of stairs. It was a great experience over all. You can definitely see how far your limit is with this hike. Would recommend.

Tour Pico Ruivo - Pico di Arieiro - Super tour guide, this one deserved 6 out of a possible 5 points. Disappointingly, the booking page did not inform you that the line of the route indicated is closed. This should be mentioned by a reputable provider in the tour description at LEAST

The disappointment of our trip to Madeire - Already, namely the trail that joins the 2 summits is closed, the hike can not be done ... you just do the Pico Ruivo (same way out / back) then by van we leave on Pico Ariero, moreover we did the excursion in the rain and clouds so we saw nothing at all in terms of landscapes! This excursion should have been cancelled in my opinion because apart from if you are passionate about intense hiking , there was no point in walking in the cold and rain on arduous paths! I would not recommend it at all! Luckily thanks to Viator for allowing us compensation for this horrible day...
