The Best (Half) Day ever! - Richard is the best tour guide! He was super friendly, extremely knowledgeable and very welcoming. He knows the best time to get everywhere to avoid the long tourist queues. My wife and I had the best time on this tour and the views at each location are stunning. The cable car is quite the experience and one that will not soon be forgotten. Richard even made sure to get us some authentic Madeiran coffee at the top. The natural pools are so much fun! Do yourself a favor and jump from the ledges, lounge in the volcano created pools, and enjoy the gorgeous views of the mountainous cliff side. After stopping at the unique black sand beach overlooking a couple waterfalls we hit the most authentic Poncha shop one could ever imagine. We cannot recommend this tour enough!! If you’ve got the time and are so inclined do the full day tour instead of the half day, you will not be disappointed. Either way you’re in the best hands possible with Richard! 10/10 we do recommend!
