Great day out. - Great tour with John who was very a very knowledgeable guide and good driver. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, particularly the levada walk and off road tracks that you would never see.

Fantastic trip - We have just returned from the all day tour of the east of the island. We had a fantastic time and Gabriel our driver was very knowledgeable, personable and we felt completely safe in his hands. A very full day visiting many picturesque places and the off road parts were exhilarating and fun. Highly recommended to anyone wanting an introduction to this fantastic island.

Book with john - First we did a half day with john on the west side, weather wasn't great so he recommended an alternative route which took us out the rain and it was brilliant. We enjoyed that one so much we booked the full east tour 2 day later and requested John again, and again another brilliant day really enjoyed it had plenty of time to see the sites and chances to take alot of photos. Would highly recommend John he was brilliant and very knowledgeable and great laugh.
