Great walk for beginners. No special skills needed. - Great walking tour, despite the shower rain. Thanks to Ruby we had a great walk. Lido Tours offers a great way to explore the island when you are cruising. They pick you up at the harbour. Communication was excellent. Driver is a save driver. Pricing is reasonable. Thank you again Ruby, see you maybe in december!

Guide tours on the verge of perfectionism. - Got this tour company recommended by the "free walking tour" guide and I was not disappointed. Easy to book online. Quick feedback and a sense of "orderliness". Good buses, clean, good condition and good drivers.
On the excursion to the east of the island driver / guide Roberto, who in mine thought did a perfect job. Easy to understand his English, spoke moderately, drove calmly and pleasantly, high stress threshold, some clever humor. At levadatur also nice guide and blameless execution of the tour. Highly recommend this company for Madeira excursions.

One of the highlights of our trip to Madeira - Very professional throughout. Really well paced and informative tour. Excellent knowledge about Madeira's flora and fauna. Beautiful walk and great levada walk.

Brilliant experience - My daughter (aged 10) and I loved this walk. It was a chance to see the island in a different way and have a bit of peace from the busy hotel and city. We learnt so much from Louisa, our guide, who talked us through the plants and history of the island. The walk was just the right length for us and the cafe afterwards was lovely. The communication from the company beforehand was great. A wonderful experience and one of the highlights of our holiday, thank you.

Steady walk and scenery was great. - Steady walk with some great views, 5k, no trouble at all.
Make sure you keep your eyes on the path, some very steep, fantastic drops on your right as you start.
Drive up there was very scenic, again, drops to the side.
Guide was very nice and informative.
👍🏻👏🏻

Best as unguided - Very nice easy walk. I went with a bilingual group so we stopped quite a bit for points of interest. Next time I would do it alone. It is an easy path to follow, you don't need a guide. I wanted to walk and not have a guided tour. If that is the case, do drop off and pickup or use local buses

Excellent “taster” Levada walk if more limited for time - Very pleasant and informative 5km walk with some fantastic views.
Essentially all on the flat. A few short sections where path narrows to a few feet where drops to side of several feet so good balance/proprioceptive skills needed.
Tour guide and driver welcoming, friendly helpful.
Good value for money.
Overall tour took ~ 4 hrs from pick up to drop off. Actual walking took 2 hrs. Stopped for toilets/coffee for 20 minutes at a village on minibus journey back to Funchal.
Highly recommended.

Lavada walk - Although the information on my ticket said it was a hotel pick-up, I was sent a link to Google maps. It was very confusing as the app couldn't find the place and it was difficult to know what I was looking for. Maybe give people a landmark instead?
Walk was lovely but with a bilingual group, it takes longer for explanations at each stop. This walk could easily be done as self guided as it would be difficult to get lost.
