There were several different trails along the way down and he said we can make it as easy or difficult as we wanted. The guide was born and raised from Madeira and had a lot of knowledge about the area. Highly recommended!”

“We hadden goede fietsen en hebben een mooie tocht gemaakt over zeer rustige wegen. Leuke uitleg onderweg over wat lokale dingen in Madeira. Dat we dezelfde weg retour gegaan zijn is wel begrijpelijk maar ook een beetje jammer. De gids let goed op zijn groep en houdt rekening met iedereen zodat er bij niemand spanningen ontstaan en iedereen kan genieten van het mooie wat Madeira te bieden heeft.”
