This tour was very enjoyable! Our guide Rui was a lovely person and so knowledgable in all the flora and fauna around us. We liked the fact that we got to the start of the levada walk before everyone else so that you get a bit of peace and quiet to enjoy the first bit of the walk. Also with the 4x4 you are closer to the start of the tunnel walk then others in coaches. It does get busy a bit later but we were expecting that. We enjoyed the 800m dark tunnel - it was quite dark but nothing that a phone torch couldn't handle and you had to watch where you were walking as there puddles of water around. The levada walk was so lovely and calming next to running water and the waterfall was good. After that, the tour in the open jeep was so exciting, going through some woods of eucalyptus and yellow broome that smelled incredible. Rui's skills of driving are amazing, you are 100% safe with him. You will emjoy some incredible views over the cities and ocean. Lunch was at a nice local restaurant and had good choice of food at very reasonable prices. The view at the skywalk was good and less crowded as we went there late afternoon. We had a really great time and highly recommend this tour and tour guide. Thank you Nita & Peter
