Review of Madeira’s Pico do Arieiro sunrise transfer, including the self-guided hike, route changes, costs, fitness demands, and practical tips.

“Due to a closed route, we had to walk another path which included stairway to heaven and PR3 which we lovely - highly recommend that trip as well. There weren’t that people on that time of the day. WE WERE INFORMED ABOUT THAT AND CONFIRMED TO TAKE THAT TRIP. Our guide Nuno was very kind, funny and friendly. Nuno gave us some local useful tips that we will use while we are on Maderia. He and the coordinators, were good at informing us about the changes, trip, pickup time etc.”

Review of Madeira’s PR8 Ponta São Lourenço hike transfer, with route details, costs, timing, crowd tips, safety advice, and who should book.

“Great views and worth going prior to sunset. The crowds pick up after 9am. The hike can be completed in much less time than allotted though they plan for you to possibly go swimming, eat, etc. My tip is to start hiking as soon as you have light to avoid the traffic jams on the trails.”

Review of Lisbon’s private custom driver tour, with flexible routes, local guides, hotel pickup, Wi-Fi, pricing, comfort, and practical tips.

“The car for 4 people was way too small. This was supposed to be a luxury car for 6 hours. It was a sub standard car that we barely got through 2 hrs. Of that 2 hrs, we spent at least 45 minutes trying to decide whether we should go or not. We tried to make the best of a bad situation. We could not.”

Review of Lisbon’s private airport and cruise port transfer, with pickup details, pricing, luggage rules, reliability tips, and honest booking advice.

“Never book with this agency. Pick up was scheduled originally for 9 am at cruise port. I communicated three times about our pickup. The ship said we might not get out until 930.am but we were at the meeting point at 910 am. The driver left at exactly 9am or never showed up. We called at 9:40 to see where the driver was and to arrange a pickup as we were waiting. We were denied service and told our money would be refunded. Stay away from this company.”
