Absolutely fantastic service; my son (13) and I are completely thrilled. Help is available at any time, they are always ready to listen to questions, and the organization is top-notch. We booked a second excursion immediately afterward, and if I were staying on the island longer, I would have booked even more. The next time I’m on the island, I’ll be booking exclusively through "Levada In and Out." It’s so straightforward, and you don’t have to keep pace with a group. We had the pleasure of meeting two different drivers, both of whom were incredibly friendly and informative.

I had a wonderful transfer experience to and from PR8 with Fábio. Definitely recommend!
We really enjoyed this trip. Our guide was fun and friendly, and the drive was very pleasant. PR8 is a great trail and feels completely different from the rest of Madeira, with its unique landscape and coastal scenery. The views from the top were absolutely beautiful.
Great driver and very friendly. Kept us up to date via WhatsApp so very clear what to expect.
Hello, I am rating the team at Levadas In and Out 5 stars. First off, Flávio was an incredible guide and shared a lot of history on Madeira and provided insight into places to see on the island during my stay. Pickup from the hotel and posthike were very punctual. I ran into issues with booking a Simplifica ticket (the website that allows users to book hiking licenses in Madeira) and Levadas In and Out quickly and professionally resolved my concern, enabling me to go on the hike. Would recommend Levadas In and Out to anyone looking for help with Madeira travel and hiking logistics.
We had an absolutely fantastic experience, and a very special thanks goes to our guide, Vitor. Even though we booked the tour at the very last minute, Vitor went above and beyond by securing our time slots the evening before, despite them already being fully booked. From start to finish, he was always available, kept us well informed about every step of the tour, and made sure everything ran perfectly. Vitor truly listened to our wishes and tailored the experience to our preferences. He also shared countless helpful tips and insider recommendations that made our stay on Madeira even more enjoyable. Throughout the entire tour, he was calm, friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. The tour itself was simply breathtaking, with spectacular views and unforgettable scenery. Without a doubt, it was the best excursion we had on Madeira and one of the absolute highlights of our holiday. Thank you, Vitor, for making this such an unforgettable experience.
Terrible experience, even more terrible communication with the company. They said it would last 4 hours but it was 6 due to the pick up location that were not on the way. Instead of 30 min drive we spent 1 hour in the car. Activity provider didn’t think it would be great to inform us in advance. We would not be able to make it to our next booked activity so we had to take a taxi back, the activity provider is not willing to communicate the issue and not willing to make any compensation. You can take a taxi and it will be half the price of this trip.
Fabio is so lovely and helpful! Thank you very much for a wonderful day and being giving great advice. Wonderful clear communication. I would recommend plenty of suncream
Everything was perfect from pickup to drop, helping with ticket booking. Everything went well! Fabio was very communicative and informative about the trek! Will book again with this team!
Excellent service and on time. The guide Fabio was the best!!!
The whole experience was effortless. Clear instructions on where to meet and drop off. Very professional and appreciated the regular communication both on the day and prior. Would recommend for easy travel to this beautiful hike.
I arranged for several days of hiking transfers from our hotel to various trailheads across the island. This service was prompt, dependable and accommodating for a group of 16 hikers. We were met with smiles each morning and given good instructions and timeframes to complete our hikes. Extremely pleased with the service.
Great experience, good communication with driver, came to collect us earlier than scheduled time as our group finished the hike sooner than expected. Highly recommended when wanting to hike PR8. Thank you!
Excellent driver who was very friendly, quick to respond to messages and gave us all the information we needed. I personally felt that the time allocated for completing the hike was perfect, neither too short nor too long. I would highly recommend this company for hike transfers on Madeira.
Stunning hike! 10/10 ☀️ The weather was perfect and we staring in the morning so the paths were not super busy yet. The driver Fabio was great! The kept us very well informed up front in regards of pick up times, he explained the hike, and he made sure everyone were on track before the pick up! I would highly recommend!!
Our driver was very friendly, on time, and gave us many tips about the island! It was the perfect way to get to and from that start of the hike for someone who is not renting a car while staying in Madeira
Reliable, convenient and definitely a lot less stressful than a rental car! Highly recommended!
I’m very satisfied with the transport organization. The pickup was punctual, communication was seamless, and the driver, Fábio, was very friendly and helpful. Everything was professional and carried out in a very pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommended!
Great tour and beautiful scenery all the way. Our driver Fabio was very helpful with the instructions and recommendations for the tour and our trip altogether. It was a nice and comfortable drive, would definitely go again!
I had a great experience with Levadas In and Out on the self-guided tour to Ponta de São Lourenço. Everything was organized smoothly from start to finish, making the whole trip stress-free and enjoyable. A special thanks to our driver, Fábio! He provided clear and detailed explanations on how to navigate the route, shared useful tips, and made sure I felt confident before starting the hike. On top of that, he was a great conversationalist and we had a very pleasant chat.
Fabio communicated well and clear to ensure a smooth and timely drive, and provided clear instructions on expectations and route of the hike.
We had a brilliant time doing self guided hike on PR8 yesterday with Levadas In and Out. Our driver Fabio was brilliant, punctual and friendly and even helped us out with arranging trail entry tickets when we hadn't been able to book online ourselves. The trip was really well coordinated with plenty of time to do the hike and enjoy the views ☀️
A really beautiful hike and a really nice and helpful driver - Fábio - he did answer all the questions we had with a smile and lots of positivity! All around a great experience!
Fabio was on time for the pick up and drop off. Really friendly and knowledgable about Madeira. Would 100% recommend booking a transfer with them.
Commintication with Vitor was easy thorughout the tour. Pickup and drop off were on time and he gave good information plus ample time to emabrk on this awesome hike. Please note that you need to purchase your tickets for the hike separately before you arrive.
Rodrigo was a super cool and friendly driver!! On time pick up and the hike was the perfect amount of time. He gave good instructions and was knowledgeable :)
Nice, easy and comfortable transfer, can definitely recommend, especially for solo travellers. Fabio was a great and very accommodating driver :) PR8 is a great hike with amazing views.
Really beautiful hike! And the transfer was great - had loads of time to walk & wander / sit and admire the view, directions for the hike were really clear & fabio was very friendly!
We had previously used this company for PR6.2 & PR6.3 Alecrim hikes. Both were excellent trips and our drivers Vitor and Rogrigo very helpful. Great service thank you.
I felt very well taken care of. Instructions were clear beforehand and Fabio (my driver) was super kind and did a great job driving securely and getting us there on time. Thankyou Fabio!
Greatest Guide! Very punctual and flexible on pick up on my way back as I opt to take boat ride back instead walking same path back. Definitely recommend it !
I recommend the tour with Rodrigo. A very nice, helpful and punctual driver, he shares interesting facts along the way and is happy to answer questions. The peninsula is absolutely beautiful, and the route is a bit challenging but doable. The trip was great!
The driver was punctual, however we planned our day around the 3.5 hours stated in the description. We thought that was the door-to-door duration. It took 40 minutes to get to the trailhead and the driver said he would pick us up in 3.5-4 hours. Considering it would take another 40 minutes to return to town, we were nervous we would miss our cruise departure so didn’t end up doing the hike and returned to town with the driver. The stated time on the tour description should be 5-5.5 hours door-to-door and specify that the time at the park would be 3.5-4 hours.
Amazing trail and very timely transfer. Smooth planning on the company’s part. Would recommend to anyone who wants to do a half day hike.
All was perfect !🤩. The driver was really kind with good advice. The hike was really beautiful and the weather perfect ! Thank you
Good driver Fabio. Amazing place with lovely views. It took 3 hours to visit everything and drink coffee in a coffee bar.
I had a great experience hiking at PR.8 with Levadas In and Out tour. Fabio is such a great driver and he can answer all questions you have about Madeira. Thanks for the smooth ride Fabio!
Many Thanks to Fábio for a relaxed, informative & friendly transfer 👌🏻⛰️ As soon as there is another trip here, I will book a hike again 🙂
Everything was perfect, transfer was on time and comfortable and hiking on trail PR 8 was incredible. Our driver Fabio was in touch in any case 🙂
Fabio was really nice. Really informative and helpful. Gave me great tips for the rest of my stay. Would recommend. Thank you!
Driver was right on time and friendly. Recommended if you are on a cruise or need to stick to a tight schedule.
I had a great experience hiking the PR8 trail! The views are magnificent, and the hike takes around 3 hours, including rest breaks and photo stops. The timing was perfect: I could take my time, enjoy the scenery, and still finish a bit earlier. We were lucky with the weather during the hike, but it got a bit windy afterwards, so it’s good to be prepared for changing conditions. The transfer was excellent as well, the driver/guide Fábio arrived on time and he was very friendly and polite, gave all the necessary instructions and tips, and answered all our questions. Communication was smooth and easy from start to finish.
Fabio was great. We liked that he sent us a photo of his car so we knew who to look out for with so many trips leaving from the hotel. He was on time for both ends of the transfer and picked me up from outside the marina when I decided to return by boat
Joao picked us on time. Gave us ample time to walk at our own pace. Came 30 min earlier than pick up time. Group was done by them and off we head back to Funchal . Recommended if u just need a transfer !
Booked with Joao. Nice and friendly guy. Picked us up and drove us to the starting point. Also provided the drop off with very good timings (earlier than us) Hike itself is pretty decent. I’d say it’s a nice one for everyone, good views and not too challenging.
We booked the transfer to Ponta de São Lourenço and were very happy with the service. Our driver Vitor was very kind, drove us safely to the starting point and gave us a few helpful words about the hike. The scenery along the trail was stunning and the time given until pick-up was more than sufficient. Everything went smoothly – highly recommended!
That is a wonderful hike. It was raining the day before and in the morning, so the first part of the trail was as slippery as an ice rink. When the rain stopped, and sun began to shine it got a little drier, making it easier to follow. The views are unforgettable, really worth going. The car was small, but clean and comfortable. I was meant to be picked up from my apartment, but instead had to walk to the bus stop nearby Cable Car in Funchal, while some old Germans were picked up from the door of their hotel in the village on the road to Sao Laurenco. This is not exactly the part of the deal, that's why it is not five star review. Despite this little inconvinience the tour is worth a recommendation.
Was a really great experience with a wonderful scenery. Our driver Cristiano was also really experienced and very friendly to all passengers. Can definitely recommend taking a transfer, as the parking lot is a complete mess with all rental cars during high seasons.
Great team, well organised tours. Fábio was a great driver, gave us all the details about our PR8 hike. Much recommended!
We had an excellent experience with this transfer service. The driver was punctual and very friendly, the car was clean and well-maintained, and communication via WhatsApp was quick and effortless.
