25 Fontanes trip - Great trip to see the 25 Fontanes. Easy to book. Driver very friendly & knowledgeable.
I was travelling solo and wanted to do the trip at my own pace so opted for a non guided trip.

Very good, highly recommend for individual Trips. - I very much like the concept, pick up and drop off and you can hike at your own speed then. Our driver Pedro was very welcoming and was giving us some good general information und clear instructions for the hike.
Having the sunrise option ist also great.
I would book again, thank you!

Great experience, gladly again. - A great experience in a beautiful landscape. It was a great experience. A great many people were on site, so there has been a slight backlog at bottlenecks. But all the people have been accommodating. The contact with TripAdvisor and also with the operator were very good. The driver was very polite and accommodating. All appointments were right. Always happy again

Amazing walk and enjoyable ride - The hike was moderately difficult and the views were amazing. As one of the best parts, I personally consider the opportunity to swim in the waterfall lake at the end of levada pr 6.0 - if you are brave enough to embrace the cold water.
The second levada led us to the stunning and majestic waterfall, with small sparks of water falling all around you.
Big shout-out to our driver Luis that was talkative, friendly and overall awesome - he gave us a lot information and tips suitable for our stay at Madeira.

A bit overpriced for drop on drop off - Well… honestly for a drop on drop off to the Levadas it’s probably a bit overpriced. The Levadas are nice but you should get there as early as possible…. We did’nt have a choice apart of departure at 8:50, which was too late.
