Loop met een local

We went on two walks with Dino and had an amazing time . The walks were varied and Dino is very knowledgeable and friendly and imparts lots of interesting facts around the history and Madeira’s natural world , with a calm lovely manner . When back we would definetly book again

I went on 2 walks with Dino, as a solo female traveller. The first was Caldeirao Verde where it ended up being a private tour. Dino picked me up from the hotel (and kept me informed when he was running a bit late due to traffic) and was very easy to talk to. As it was just me on the tour he gave me the option of a harder but quieter route walking up to the levada from further down rather than the flatter route along the entire levada. This was perfect for me and I really enjoyed the walk but probably wouldn't suit those without a reasonable level of fitness. Dino shared a lot of interesting information about the island and various plants and birds we encountered. The second walk was the Larano coastal path which I did as a shared tour with three other people. Dino was great at ensuring that we all stayed together and that we walked at a pace which was comfortable for everyone. Both walks were stunning and although you could probably do them without a guide, you wouldn't get the information and knowledge that Dino shared and being picked up from the hotel also takes the hassle out of having to travel to the starting point of the walk. Dino also keeps up to date with which trails are safe and passable which is particularly reassuring as a solo traveller. I will hopefully be returning to Madeira next year and I will absolutely be attending more walks with Dino. Thank you!

This is an excellent service aimed at the more discerning client who wants a smaller group and is prepared to pay more. Guiding and local knowledge was very good and communication was also good. Can't fault!
