Leider mussten wir zwei Kilometer laufen, um den Anweisungen des Veranstalters zum Treffpunkt Folge zu leisten. Andere Teilnehmer des Ausflugs im identischen Bus wurden direkt am Cruise-Terminal abgeholt. Peinlich!! Der Guide Edurado war Spitze.

The mini bus was very cramped.
So pleased be aware if you have disability issues.
The excursion needs to looked at. The first part going up to the highest mountain 3rd highest on the island Pico do Arieiro. Should be weather permitting only, this way people would be more excepting. It was thick fog ii was totally pointless & dangerous. We couldn't see a thing.
Bruno our guide continuely said this is part of the itinerary so he had to take us. WHY !!!! Personally my thoughts were if the weather is thick fog, you can't see a thing they know it's going to be like this why bother ???
Admittedly if the weather was good & clear day it would be amazing.
They should consider weather permitting then either cut the excursion length down or given us more time in the other places visited, to be fair were great. It was a waste of 2 hours rude up & down the mountain.
Madeira is a stunning island.
All excursions we did were amazing, this one was slight a disappointment I know you can't help the weather but some thought needs to be put into.
