El recorrido de los dos días está bastante bien y muy completo. Los guías tienen bastante buen nivel de idiomas y son muy agradables. Como punto a mejorar, llegaron tarde el primer día por haber recogido anteriormente a más personas; así que sugeriría que la hora de comienzo del tour fuera la real ó que empezaran antes la recogida. Además, para la parada de 2horas en Porto, Moniz sugiero que avisen de alguna forma que lo recomendable es llevar un bañador para poder disfrutar de las piscinas naturales que ofrece el maravilloso lugar.

Conseguimos, em dois dias, ficar a conhecer a maioria dos sítios mais "emblemáticos" da Madeira. Os guias e condutores (Patrícia, António, Adelino e Nelito) foram todos 5* e, em ambos os dias, as visitas decorreram sem percalços.
