Great views and great walking paths. - Great views. Walking paths give you amazing access to the cliffs and waterfalls of the island. A lot of steep downhill. So bring good shoes.

Amazing Tour with lovely tour guide - The trail itself was stunning and honestly very accessible. There are quite a lot of stairs but that's about the only difficulty there is. The waterfalls are gorgeous and the views are spectacular. Our tour guide Bruno was lovely and informative as well. Not a bad price for this trip.

A nice walk - It was a good trip with a nice and attentive guide. They picked us up close to our hotel and drove us back there after the trip. We had a great walk along the levadas in speed comfortable for the group. We had enough time to make the puctures and enjoy the nature

Awesome views - Awesome views, great guide. Quite grouted but that was something to expect. 25 fountains itself was quite disapointing, but over all views were great. Having wet shoes was impossible to avoid. Nice surprise that ending point wasn't same than starting point, means way less clinbing up hill. Walking through a 800 meter long dark tunnel in end of the trip was exiting! Only complain is that in confirmatin on pick-up time come quite late in previous evening, even it was mentioned it should come 24 hours before.

Good guided tour to over- tourism nature side. - Great Guide, Elena was fantastic! Unfortunatly the paths and spots are heavily crowded. Its too much tourism at this place. But for what it is, the trip was very well organized and if you want to go there, this tour is a good way to get there and you will be very well guided along the levadas and one-way-foodpths. Elena will explain a little inside to the local botany as well.
