  I thought the holiday was enjoyable, though the walking was tough at times perhaps above my level. One notable subject was that our guide gave us excellent service and consideration. Only one slight negative was the transport arrandement between the airport and hotel on initial landing (5th) Oct, this appeared to be bady arranged., as I had to call "Explore" for assistance.

  We enjoyed the tour in general. The only thing we missed was a little bit harder hiking, as it was rated as moderate, we thought it would be more complicated.

  Joã was an excellent guide The group were all friendly and we got along well even though we were from 5 different countries and ranged in age from 22 to 72. The hikes were very well planned and there was always a great view or waterfall. The most difficult hike was on the last day and I feel the walks leading up to it increased my stamina. The leader was always making sure we were safe while being very enthusiastic and encouraging. The lodging was adequate. The transportation was excellent. Very luxurious small bus with seasoned drivers.

  I now understand why the Madeira Island tour is the most popular Explore adventure. Our tour guide and walking guru, Filip was terrific. He made sure every person was safe at all times and kept track of all of us. I loved learning about this beautiful island from Filip who is a native Madeiran. The other travelers were lovely people. We enjoyed every walk together, every meal shared was full of laughter and good wine. This is one island I would like to visit again and stay longer. I would highly recommend this tour.

  Exceeded our expectations. While the guide by himself was exceptional, the connections, lodging, organization, and deep thought and experience put into this trip were beyond excellent.

  It was my first time using this company. Communication was good, booking and transfers smooth and questions answered promptly. Madeira is a beautiful place to visit for the outdoors and culture. Going in January and feeling the warm sunshine on my face, was uplifting. I met some lovely people on the trip and our tour guide Joao Camara was exceptional. He was helpful, encouraging, very knowledgeable and communicated well with everyone. Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone loving outdoor hiking in a group. It was tougher than I imagined but made me feel more fit by the end of the week.
