Excellent half day tour, great views, sled ride and tasting - This was a half day tour. We booked with Secret Madeira where one option is a bundle of 3 tours (with East and West) at a very good price. The only pricing issue is the sled ride in Monte has to be paid separately - having said which it meant we went first as there was no queue and the rest of the group were awaiting their tickets from the driver The owner of Secret Madeira picked up or dropped off a few people from the bus to avoid this taking too long to do all the pickups, which was a very smart and in our experience unusual move The sled ride is an absolute must do. The drive to Nuns Valley is really interesting, includes stops at several viewpoints on the way there and back. At Nuns Valley there was a tasting of local liqueurs, very good and very interesting.

Enjoyed it all. - Couldn’t have been better. Our guide and driver were amazing, funny and had so much knowledge. Got to the sled ride early so no wait. Plenty of time given at viewpoints to enjoy the views. Dropped us back in town if that’s what we wanted or back to hotels. Nothing was too much trouble.
