Most enjoyable trip to the Valley of the Nuns. - This was a lovely trip to the Valley of the Nuns, with two wonderful view points and a tasting of some delicious island produce. Our tour guide kept us very well informed about everything we could see and she was an excellent driver. We felt very safe in the minibus on the narrow, winding mountain roads.

Spectacular peaks and valleys - Our tour guide was excellent and polite. The day was rainy off and on and overcast so some of the views were obstructed. But the stop at peak overlooking nuns ballet was spectacular. Nuns valley itself was also beautiful and quaint. However, we’re supposed to get picked up at our hotel and found out late the night before we had to go to local bus depot it was very disappointing. Even worse though is after we went to bus stop to get on board the minibus drove right past our hotel. Very disappointing.

Nice & Vibrant Nuns Valley tour with Feeling Madeira - We enjoyed a nice & vibrant Nuns Valley tour with Feeling Madeira . Our host was Sergio who provided door to door pick up, punctual ,polite & good humoured . Good views of Funvhal from viewpoint at Pico Dos Barcelos ( cucifix overlooking Funchal). The Eira do Serrado Viewpoint reflected the wild nature of mountainous Madeira & provided good views of the picturesque village of Curral das Freiras. Liked the quirky Chestnut museum. One improvement would be to assure all tour buses have aircon,

A good half day tour. - The three stops on this tour were picturesque and worthwhile. However, it would be great to spend more time in the nun’s valley and reduce time at the other two photo opportunity stops. Driver was careful and informative.

Disappointing Tour Guide - Scenery and viewing points good, however experience was disappointing as ‘tour guide’ was only a driver as his English was very limited and therefore unable / unwilling to address the mini bus personnel with any narrative or facts regarding Maderia, it’s history, it’s geography or anything else! When we booked, we selected the English option, therefore assumed our tour guide would speak English!!
