Nice experience - Very nice experience. The driver arrived on time and was very helpful. The light snacks breakfast is a really nice touch. Please dress warm ( a winter coat) as it gets really cold up there in the mountains.

Madiera Sunrise Tour - We went with Jorge who was amazing! He took us to where the best view was and gave us great instructions on when and where he’d meet us. Jorge provided a good breakfast coffee and tea after the sunrise and then took us to Paradise Valley for a beautiful walk. I recommend this 100%.

Pico sunrise tour including breakfast and Paradise Valley walk. - It was a great experience. George, our guide and driver was very friendly,kind, humorous and very knowledgeable. Besides being a good driver he was entertaining. We drove up to Pico and saw a spectacular sunrise followed by a delicious breakfast catered by George. Then we had a nice relaxing walk through Paradise valley (about 50 minutes) After 5 hours we were back at our hotel. I would highly recommend the tour and hopefully you will be lucky to have George as your guide.

Morning sunrise - We had an excellent driver who picked us up very early for the sunrise. It was a cold morning and he brought extra blankets for us. I would suggest wearing warm clothes as it is cold and windy early in the morning, and bringing a head lamp or flash light so you can see in the dark. It was very cloudy the day we want so we did not get a full sunrise as we had hopefuls but I enjoyed the surroundings and being with other people on the top of the mountain in such epic scenery. After sunrise we had breakfast, and enjoyed hot coffee and tea followed by a pretty stroll on a flat levada.

A definite 5 stars from us. - Fabulous trip, highly recommended. Our driver Gorges was lovely. He made sure we had blankets and served us with a nice breakfast afterwards. We had a really nice group and we all walked together along the levada at the end of our trip. 5⭐️s

Sunrise with my sons - Great trip to see the sunrise with 2 of my sons, aged 20 & 13. After a 430am pick up we arrived at the peak early to enjoy the pre dawn colours. We had a clear day and it was spectacular! Worth taking something warm to wear and something to sit on. Then jumped back in the van, drove around 10 mins and enjoyed breakfast in a nice barn - great coffee, huices, toasties, croissants, fruit and homemade oragne cake. Impressed that they were able to give a guest plant based milk as an alternative. Levada walk was peaceful, very flat with beautiful flowers and great views through the trees. It was a dood chance to do a short Levada walk without committing to a half or full day. Suited my 13 year old son. Great trip I would recommend.

Good trip, a bit expensive - It was quite nice. The guides were too kind but to be fair, it was a bit expensive for what you get. If you have a rental car this trip may not be for you. Otherwise we look back on a very impressive sunrise and a fun morning.

Nice but too expensive - Our driver and guide were very nice but unfortunately the weather conditions weren’t great so we were brought to a lower spot to view the sunrise (not the tour’s fault). The view was nice but definitely not what we were expecting based on what we saw online, again, not the tour’s fault but just a warning that the weather may not be great. The walk was nice but as other reviews mentioned, it’s not a guide, they just drop you off and tell you where to walk which is fine. The breakfast was nice and the guide was super friendly. The description is a bit misleading, you don’t enjoy the sunrise while drinking coffee, the coffee and breakfast come after the sunrise as you drive elsewhere to eat. Overall great but definitely way too expensive for what you get.
