Worth it 🥰 - It was an amazing experience. The guide was so nice and helpful and explain a lot about what we saw. Even though there was a lot of fog in the beginning, rhe hike went wonderfully and the weather ended up being in our favour. I couldn't recommend this more. 😊😊😊

Stunning hike - Stunning scenery. Incredible views. If you’re fit enough do it! Tour guide very knowledgeable. Prompt pick up service from hotel.

Pico hike - Was a great hike! Beautiful scenery. Would highly recommend. Was kept well informed on pickup. Quick response to questions. Driver and guide were wonderful.

Very advisable - I loved the experience Bruno was super friendly, the landscapes were magnificent, the adventure was worth it, a very good time, I welcome you

Great views, great company & great guide - Despite the weather not being the best (which can’t be helped) our guide remained enthusiastic and kept everyones spirits high. The pickup was prompt, with a nice size of group. The pace was great, he allowed us plenty time for photos, breaks and lunch throughout as it was a full day experience. Overall I would 100% recommend this company for this hike as it was well organised and was a great day for a very reasonable price!

Excellent arrangements, good guides - I warmly recommend - Very pleasant journey. Professional and nice guide. Arrangements were fluent. They will pick you up from the hotel and take you to an astonishing views! Walk is not an easy one and requires that you can walk hundreds of stairs up and down. Prepare with good shoes, proper clothing you can easily put on and off , snacks and plenty of water bottles. And protect yourself of the sunshine.

Amazing experience! - Amazing! Lovely guide! Told us so many things about the Madeira, very educational.Recommending to everyone!:) the best part of my trip🥰 please have good hiking shoes ( waterproof), sunscreen, hat, a few layers.

Mountain walk with no view! - The tour was very well organised & the tour guide was excellent. My only disappointment was the fact they would have known the weather was awful & could have pre warned us how bad it was to allow us to cancel if needs be. Yes we’ve climbed the highest mountain in Madeira, yes we had suitable clothing for the weather but did we see anything No which the tour guides would have been aware of prior to the trip taking place.

Disappointed - The walk was cancelled after we arrived. It could have been called off the night before. The alternative was only a 4 miles at the most around the cliffs. Rest breaks were not offered before the end of the walk. There was no walking poles offered, which was one of the reasons we booked the walk.

Not quite what I booked……. - Having booked the tour with viator, due to the option of having walking poles, I was most disappointed to find that they had transferred my booking to a different company without informing me! So, no walking poles were available as the company I was now with didn’t provide these. I tend to use walking poles on the Scottish Munros, as I find that they ease the strain on my (not so young) knees, esp when descending. To be fair though, the lack of poles wasn’t the problem I thought it might have been on the walk, and actually they may have been a hindrance at some points, esp the steep steel stair cases! The ‘new’ guide was not particularly talkative, and only twice did we stop for him to point something out. Now, all we saw all day was the inside of a cloud, so it wasn’t the panoramic views I would have hoped for, but as the weather can’t be guaranteed I had no issue with that (it just means I may have to do it again to try and get the views). Maybe on a clear day, the guide may have spent more time pointing out the sights. However, leaving the cafe at the start of the walk, we weren’t informed we weren’t going to the very top of Pico do Areerio, but heading away on the PR1 route. If we had known that, we could have taken this in, during the 10 minute ’toilet break’ we had before beginning, so as to at least get the photo opportunity. So while the walk was good, at no point was it unsafe, plenty of steel rods fixed into the rock with wire hand holds, and was enjoyable. The walk is described as ‘difficult’ , but there are a few places where it is steep. I mean really steep, both ascending and descending, and we had 2 folk who turned back within 10 minutes of setting off as they didn’t seem to understand what the walk entailed. It was an enjoyable walk, shame about the views, but such is life, but I am really disappointed with viator for not informing me that they had transferred me to a different company without any consultation. Don’t book the tour based on having poles, you really don’t need them, as you have the handrails to help you up and down the steep bits.
