What people are saying about Funchal

The service provided by Philip - the driver, was awesome. Communication was gr8, Philip arrived on time for pickup in Funchal and drove the passengers to the Pico Arriero start point. He gave good time based guidelines for finishing the hike on time. At the end of the hike, he was patiently waiting for the stragglers, with heated van so that the passengers would be comfortable after a cold rainy hike. The time given to complete the hike is optimal even for slow hikers. I highly appreciate Philip's service and care. He likes his job and takes good care for all questions and concerns you may have. I highly recommend this excursion.

My experience made before, not for everyone, unforgettable emotions and impossible to describe in words to those who have not lived it. Tiredness and fatigue alternated with a breathtaking and imposing landscape that makes you feel small and insignificant in comparison; however, there is no greater satisfaction than reaching the top and feeling proud of the experience you have chosen to have. Super satisfied, I recommend once in a lifetime.

Where do I start, Felipe and Logan were fantastic. My son changed his mind a day before the trip. After speaking with Logan the night before the trip, she agreed to initiate the refund for 1 person as long as I contacted GYG. The trip was well organised, Logan messaged each of us whilst on the hike to see how we were getting on. Felipe was brilliant, highlight of my holiday - highly recommended! Thank you for everything guys.

Great experience, the driver picked us up on time. Logan provided a great support before and after the trip with some recommendations. Many thanks for checking up on us during the hike! Highly recommended

It was my highlight on my Madeira trip, we were absolutely lucky with the weather and our driver Luis was amazing! Would highly recommend to everyone!
