Beautiful hike and falls, but very crowded - The hike and falls were beautiful. Lots of stairs and some very narrow sections of trail. Only the out-and-back trail was open, so the crowds definitely created bottlenecks. The falls at the bottom were very cool, but very hard to walk around with so many people. Expect to get feet wet at the final falls. Tour organization by Do It Madeira was perfect. Flexible on hotel pickup and the driver gave us a lot of info about the Island!

Fantastic experience, highly recommend. - We had a fantastic experience with this company. The minibus was well presented and in good working order. Our driver was very friendly and knowledgeable and explained the route for the walk.
We had plenty of time to complete the walk at a leisurely pace with lots of time to take photos and stop at the cafe at the end.
The walk itself has lots of steps up and down and also a steep hills but stunning views and certainly one of the highlights of our trip.

Great concept, communication and service. - This is the first time I have used this company and the concept of a self- guided tour - great experience on both counts! Communication from Logan was excellent, all instructions and tips for the trip were clear and helpful, and our driver Adriana was impressively punctual and friendly! Thank you.

25 Fontanes trip - Great trip to see the 25 Fontanes. Easy to book. Driver very friendly & knowledgeable.
I was travelling solo and wanted to do the trip at my own pace so opted for a non guided trip.

Very good, highly recommend for individual Trips. - I very much like the concept, pick up and drop off and you can hike at your own speed then. Our driver Pedro was very welcoming and was giving us some good general information und clear instructions for the hike.
Having the sunrise option ist also great.
I would book again, thank you!

A bit overpriced for drop on drop off - Well… honestly for a drop on drop off to the Levadas it’s probably a bit overpriced. The Levadas are nice but you should get there as early as possible…. We did’nt have a choice apart of departure at 8:50, which was too late.
