Take this tour to enhance your stay - This was a really interesting tour, a mixture of history, geology and breathtaking views. Our guide was excellent, both in his knowledge and sometimes humorous delivery and we were able to see and learn much to enhance our stay on the island. Unfortunately my husband was feeling unwell and could not fully appreciate everything we saw but agrees with me that the island is fascinating and stunning and our guide was top notch.

Magnificent tour - We loved the tour of Porto Santo. Without a doubt the best tour we could have chosen. The trip was incredible, and it allowed us to see places that more commercial tours certainly don't reach due to access. For those who really want to get to know Porto Santo, this is the tour to take. The guide is a person who is extremely passionate about what he does and you can feel that passion when he tells us about the history of the island.

Excellent visit to the most interesting points of Porto Santo - Excellent experience to discover the most interesting points of the island in 3 hours. The visit was very well documented, both historically and geologically and biologically. The guide was excellent and very friendly, and we were lucky enough to have the tour exclusively to ourselves.

Highly recommend - Fantastic tour of the island, learning about more than just pirates and corsairs. Took us from one end to the other to see some spectacular views and history. Nuno the guide was brilliant, very knowledgeable and good fun. We took our 4 and 7 year old kids and they managed to keep entertained the whole way so must be good! Thank you Nuno and thank you Porto Santo!

Missed it - Sadly we did not get to experience this trip due to a big misunderstanding. It was booked from a Viator ad which appeared to be related to San Sebastián. As we are from the US we did not understand the geography of northern Spain The day before travel it became clear that we were far far away from an enticing experience. My mistake but Viator not helpful and I have booked many tours with them. Not the tour providers fault Diane
