Good tour - Well organised Only problem was , we were told to wait outside our ship but in fact our driver was waiting outside the German ship . All was well in the end and he spoke German and English very well . Shame about the rain, however if it hadn’t rained, we would not have had the wonderful experience of seeing both ends of a beautiful rainbow !

Great rainbow view over valley! - Bruno (think it was him- with a pony tail) was highly knowledgeable and humorous- we really enjoyed the 3 locations- the first stop at the top of the valley look-out was spectacular- would recommend this as a very pleasant afternoon. Thank you for a great trip!

Great tour - Just got back to our hotel after the afternoon Nuns Valley tour & could not fault it in any way. The driver ( sorry can't remember your name) was so good he explained everything & made the tour a joy. If we can get him again we would definitely go on another tour. Well done

Great trip, amazing driver - Fantastic trip to the view point, the nuns village and the fishing village at the end of the trip. Driver and guide was full of knowledge and did an amazing job navigating us safely through the trip. He done an equally amazing job shutting up the BBC Bristol guest we unfortunately shared the trip with who kept giving a running commentary just because he had visited Funchal a few times. It was a joy when he stopped yarning on so we could appreciate the guide. Great trip, can highly recommend. Was embarrassing at the end when our esteemed Bristol guest and his two Irish "friends" completely ignored our driver, especially as he had done a fantastic job.

Loved this 🤩 - Great trip at half the price of the cruise company - selected ‘cruise terminal’ pick up, unnecessarily we walked away from the ship as the WhatsApp message referred to ‘outside the port’ but the minibus came quite close to where we disembarked the ship, lovely clean minibus and a really knowledgeable driver Roberto, would definitely recommend 🤩

Great tour - A good tour. We were collected from the cruise terminal by a minibus with a nice driver who spoke good English and very informative. Nuns Valley was incredible. We then went to Camera De Lobos, a fishing village which is a lovely place to visit. The only negative is I would have preferred more time in each of the places.

Interesting scenery - An interesting tour with 3 stops to see the views and the mountains. Our driver and guide was very helpful and gave us a lot of interesting information during the trip.

Avid traveler - Our driver today in a small passenger van was Bruno. He picked us up and dropped us off right outside the gate to our hotel. We went to 3 locations all of which were beautiful.

Tour experience could be better. The views are spectacular though. - My first interaction with the operators was when they tried to force me to go to their office for the pickup when I had obviously arranged for a hotel pick up. They only agreed to comply to the pickup after I threatened to cancel. Secondly, the guide was giving the tour in 2 languages. Often by he time he explained in one language and translated to the other, we would have driven past the landmark and the effect was lost. It would be better if each tour was limited to just one language. The views of the valley are spectacular though.

This trip should be cancelled when the weather is bad like other excursions such as tours of the East. No visibility. - This trip did not meet our expectations. Because of poor weather conditions we could not see the Valley of the Nuns from the viewpoint at all. Our guide was also very monotone and did not even try to still make the trip fun. This was a total waste of money.
