Nice trip

Published on Dec, 2024

Nice short trip, only 4 hours. Good viewpoints and trip to the valley. Would recommend to anyone who wants to see the nuns valley

Great Experience with Amazing views!

Published on Nov, 2024

Deffo recommend this hike to anyone, I personally struggle with heights but the views were breathtaking and honestly you can get over it very quickly. Unfortunately the hike was partially closed to wildfires in the summer however they organized a second hike routing down the mountain and I honestly say I’m glad that was an option as trekking through the landscape was a great experience. Communication between the guide and organizer were great and they made sure we knew all the necessary information! Looking forward to returning and completing the hike in full.

Very good local guidance

Published on Nov, 2024

The communication was really good. The main hiking route is closed due to the forest fires but Elisabeth offered an alternative where we still got to enjoy the amazing views at Pico de Areerio and then took a downhill path through the valley. We probably wouldn’t have known this without booking Pico Transfers. It was much easier than trying to park and then get back to the car at the end. Our driver was really friendly and we chatted about what it’s like living in Madeira. It’s really reccomend exploring the area this way.

Great communication from Elizabeth thx you. pity the full route was closed but fact was communicated well. Spectacular views and look forward to returning to complete the hike cheers James

Brilliant experience

Published on Nov, 2024

Fantastic organisation by Elizabeth, clear and prompt communications. The fires have meant the original walk was not possible, but she explained another walk, that we agreed would be a great alternative. On the day Michael was out driver - couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. Walk was truly stunning. And Michael your Thai restaurant recommendation was perfect! Highly recommend.
