Good, but little time in the pools of Porto Moniz.

The minibus tour showed us many places. Many stops between 10-30 minutes to see the sites and take a picture, I do not think it took much more. The negative is the short time in Porto Moniz: we the idea of Porto Moniz was to bathe in the natural pools, well it is not a suitable tour for that. There is very little time in Porto Moniz. It coincides with the time of the meal, if one wants to bathe I recommend not eating to take advantage of the time :(

Pick up directly from the hotel. The guide was German speaking, very friendly and always had the group under control. This tour essentially covers "the best in the west" of Madeira. There are numerous stops, not always worthwhile in terms of time, but this remains a matter of taste. The highlight was the great landscape in the west of Porto Moniz, with a view of the sea and volcanic landscape. A two-hour stay was planned, including a stay in a restaurant with simple but tasty food. The time in Porto Moniz turned out to be a little tight due to the lunch, but the impression remains terrific. In our view, this day tour is absolutely recommendable. Thanks to all creators in the background and of course our guide.

War ein sehr Schöner Ausflug. Wurden direkt im Hotel abgeholt. Der Reiseleiter konnte gut deutsch und hat viele Sachen erklärt und gezeigt.insgesamt gab es 7 oder 8 Stopps zum schauen und fotografieren. Das essen zu Mittag war richtig super lecker, 5 Gänge mit Suppe, Salat, Hauptgang, Nachspeise und Espresso. Getränke inklusive (Wein, Wasser und Saft). Auf dem Gipfel war es leider neblig dafür haben eir mehr Zeit in Porto Moniz bekommen und einen kleinen Stopp unter der Nebelgrenze um Fotos zu machen. Ein sehr gelungener Ausflug mit netten Menschen, gutem Essen und vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Ich würde ihn auf jeden Fall wieder machen und kann nur jedem empfehlen ihn zu machen.
