Nice trip. - I went in a group of 8-10 participants and our highly knowledgeable guide Suzana. She knows a lot about the area, nature and the people who live there. In addition, she is very linguistic and switches rapidly between French and English. It was a lovely trip - worth all the money.

A great day exploring - Alvaro was an excellent tour guide and had lots of interesting facts that he shared during our walk. We really enjoyed the hike and will absolutely try one of the other trips the next time we come to Madeira. The Walk it selv was quite flat and you’d have to siffer from severe vertigo or be in really bad shape if you have trouble with this Walk.

Nice and easy - An easy, green route with voluptuous vegetation and some springs. The levadas present trouts swimming around! Suits for all people who like walking.

Fantastic Kings Levada with Alvaro - We had a fantastic day tour to Kings Levada with Alvaro - from start to finish everything was excellent. Pick up from our hotel was exactly on time and the journey from Funchal was about 45 minutes to Sao Jorge. We had some time before the start of the walk for a quick coffee and toilet stop, before starting the levada walk. It was raining when we started so we were very grateful for the use of Alvaro’s spare waterproof coats! Next time in Madeira we will pack our waterproofs! Along the walk Alvaro told us about local plants and wildlife, as well as ensuring we were safe and having a good time. It is 5.7km to the source of the levada where we had a stop for lunch (bring a drink and snack with you or buy from the cafe at the start), before heading back. It is about 4 hours walking in total and although fairly flat you do need to be fit.

Great day - Excellent day with Alvaro, our guide. His guiding was brilliant, even for my partner who "doesn't do guided trips". He was funny and informative in just the right amount. The walk was very enjoyable. Thank you.

King's Levada / Sao Jorge and Rabacal - 25 Fountains - We booked two all day hikes with 'Madeira Free Spirit Walks' and really enjoyed ourselves. The team are very professional and friendly and made us feel welcome. The mini-bus picked us up from our hotel and took care of everything. Our guides Philip and Suzanne were very knowledgeable and spent a great deal of time explaining and pointing out the local history, geology and flora and fauna. Both our guides were extremely attentive and really ensured that all of the group were enjoying themselves. We had a child with us and again both guides worked hard to ensure that our son was engaged. What a brilliant family run business and an excellent service. Of course, it goes without saying that the scenery was outstanding and extremely beautiful.

Another Excellent Days Out with Susannah - Excellent guide and good company. We have been on many guided walks in many countries and Susannah is the most friendly, helpful and knowledgeable guide we have come across

King’s Levada walk, great experience - We were picked up from our hotel in Funchal, in the south and driven by, our guide for the day, Alvaro to the north of the island to walk the King’s Levada. Giving us commentary all the way he imparted lots of information in a friendly and often amusing way about the island’s weather, the roads and history. His wealth of knowledge about the levadas, the plants and birds made the day so enjoyable. His 38 years of experience of guiding walks on Madeira made him a super guide and as he said himself he knows every step on the island. One of our small group promptly booked to go on another tour the following day having enjoyed it so much!

Easy walk for beginners - We had an amizing time! The walk was great and super easy but what made it amazing was the guide. He was funny and very informative at the same time! You could tell that he loved his job. He explained everything and we even got to taste some herbs.

A tad disappionting-a stoll by a gully - A day trip where we expected more. For a regular walker there is not much to challenge you. The scenery is random when the weather is poor, but that could a off-season problem? Like the rest of the Island there is not a lot of wildlife but the engineering of the levada remains impressive even if this particular walk is underwhelming. Shame really.
