“After our initial booking didn't go ahead due to the driver allegedly having an accident, our trip was rebooked for two days later. Our guide Marco was excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable and a safe driver. He gave us an excellent recommendation for lunch and as we had the private tour there was no rush or time restrictions so we could go at our own pace. Vehicle was clean and comfortable and the places we visited, especially up in the mountains, were stunning. Fantastic value for money, well worth it.”

“Our driver /guide was Roberto . He is a super nice guy as well as very informative regarding our self guided hike to PR9 trail Levada do Calderão Verde. He explained everything we needed to know and helped me with the entrance fee payment portal. Our hike was excellent, through waterfalls tunnels and beautiful forests . Roberto was very prompt at picking us up at our hotel at 8:20am and once we finished the hike he was already there waiting for us to drive us back to the hotel . I highly recommend this company Levada in and out and will be using them again 100%”
