Great tour to see the Island quickly. Hotel Turim Santa Maria in Funchal was excellent - large, well equipped rooms, 5mins walk from the market and near old town area for restaurants. Excursions were well paced, transported in mini-bus with informative guide/driver. Levada walk well worth doing. Agent handled everything efficiently and responded quickly to messages. A very enjoyable and memorable experience.Show more

Overall a great experience! Nice to have the hotels, tours and airport transfers all arranged. Breakfast at the hotel was also lovely and a nice way to start the day. When we had an issue with one of our tours (the driver did NOT double check we were on the right tour) it was rectified quickly and we were picked up by a driver and connected with the right tour. We also received a call to ensure all was good !Show more
