It was my first visit, and this tour was great to get a sense of the different parts of the island as well as a feel for the longer levada walks. If you want long explorations then id recommend one of the individual tours, but this one was perfect for variety, great sights, history of the island and still relaxing not having to drive myself. Our driver/tour guide Alberto was fantastic, funny, thorough with his history of the island and most impressive for us was seeing him switching between English and French to accommodate multiple people on the tour. My partner being a native Spanish speaker, he also switched to Spanish which felt welcoming too. If you can ask for Alberto's tour, absolutely do so. If you can stomach seeing steep drops in the mountains, absolutely recommend this.

Tour muito bem organizado, com tempo suficiente entre as paragens para permitir a adaptação individual às visitas. Um dos pontos previstos no programa não foi cumprido mas foi acrescentado um ponto de visita surpresa. O nosso guia João demonstrou ser um excelente profissional, muito interativo e deu dicas úteis durante as paragens. Recomendo vivamente este tour!

This was a very scenic , atmospheric and informative trip. Seeing the clouds below us from the mountain peak was breathtaking. A lovely Laveda walk with chaffinches eating out of people’s hands. The A framed houses of Santana. A great trip led by our kind, courteous and knowledgeable guide Alcindo.
