Pleasant way to get to know about Madeira - A lovely gentle half day walk with great views. Our guide Sergio was very informative & entertaining. Pick up & Minibus smooth. Our driver Paolo was excellent on the busy Funchal roads! Unfortunately we missed the abundance of mimosa blossom by a couple of weeks. However the insight into local farming was interesting.
