Great day out - Another amazing madeira trip. Madeira explorers were quality from the moment we got in touch. Picked up from our hotel on time, and taken to the starting point in a small mini van. The hike was excellent, amazing views and our guide Elton was superb. Knowledgeable, funny and thoughtful (one of our group didn't like heights). The lavadas are a must see

Wonderful hikes and the best guides ever. - If you would go on a hike in Madeira, this is the best team to pick. I have been on three hikes this week, and seen plenty of beautiful places plus learned a lot about this special island thanks to the excellent guides. Emilque and Jorge (sorry if I spell your names wrong) are skilled, fluent in several languages, easygoing and makes you want to know about Madeira I plan on coming back, and I will chose these guides over any other.

Very Good Levada Hike in Madeira - The Risco + 25 fountains trail starts from a parking near the main road, from which you will go done on a steep paved road for an elevation drop of 400 meters ... This will be waiting for you on the way back ! - Be prepared ... :-) The trail itself is at mid level difficulty with steep stair up and down and some very narrow path above the cliff. most likely you will have to walk in water part of the time , so bring suitable hiking shoes - NO flip-flops !!! The Risco waterfall in much more impressing than the 25 fontain ( in my view), and the walk along the Levada is nice - gives you the idea how water is managed all over the island. All in all it is about 6 hours walk , including a stop for cake & coffee/beer on the way back, at the well located mountain canteen. Most important: be sure to select a non-rainy day for this hike !

Good walks - Good company. Did the 25fontes and the paradise walks with them. They operate a separate driver and guide-other companies don't. Guides and drivers very personable. Both walks are great. Only downside is that their website wouldn't work to book other walks and will not book thro Tui again

Underwhelming and poorly hosted - Disappointing experience. The guide didn't seem that attentive to the people on the tour and I felt we were being rushed round as soon as possible. The waterfalls were pleasant enough but the 25 fountains in particular at this time of year were underwhelming and overcrowded.
