The guide in particular was very upbeat and friendly. When my partner realised she forgot her rain jacket he provided a poncho which was very kind. We had truly miserable weather on the way up but the guide was careful, funny and insightful. He remained upbeat and positive and that makes a real difference

An enjoyable walk but it took 2 half hrs to arrive at the walk/starting point and not enough emphasis on equipment (Torch) which is vital when walking though the dark low tunnels. Disappointed when we thought we had returned to the starting point (8 miles) but then had too walk a further mile and a quarter to catch the buse which had orginally dropped as at the starting point earlier in the day. Then to be taken to a village which we didn't know about when all we wished to do is go back to our hotel and shower/rest. This was an unnessary addition too a very long day. Not 5 hrs more like 9 and half hrs. This needs to be made clearer in the advert.

Wir waren heute mit einer Gruppe von 14 Personen unterwegs. Die Wanderung selbst hat 4,5 Stunden gedauert. Die An- und Abfahrt nach Funchal etwa jeweils 40 Minuten. Unbedingt festes Schuhwerk anziehen. Die Wege sind teilweise Naß und schlammig. Eine Regenjacke und eine Taschenlampe/ Handylampe ist empfehlenswert. Verpflegung wäre auch nicht schlecht. Wenn man das beachtet, wird es sicher ein gelungener Tag. Die Erklärungen unterwegs waren auch sehr gut. Wir können die Tour nur empfehlen.
