Absolutely recommendable and worth every euro - A really great experience. Unfortunately we were unlucky the first time, but we were allowed to go again and had a fantastic view. On the way back you stop at a small, rustic hut (don't be fooled by the first impression). The food was local and very tasty. There was sangria, beer and wine. I would do the tour again anytime.
Thank you very much, it was incredible!

Amazing Experience - Such a nice and suggested experience!
George was very nice, funny and very organized. He brought us to have dinner on a place around 1600m right before Pico Areiro, on the clouds. The sunset after was amazing, from the highest viewpoint

Sunset Tour to Pico do Arieiro - Amazing Tour Highly Recommend - Going up the mountain 1,812 metres above sea level was amazing. It was very cold - 5 degrees, but well worth it to see the amazing clouds and sunset.
The fog came and went in a blink of a eye. The sun set was amazing
Franco (the guide) was very friendly and knowledge able and the meal was simple dish of Paella with home made bread, Pineapple for afters with Sangria to drink, in a small watermill afterwards. I would recommend this trip 100%

Jorge and his Colleagues are Great Hosts! - While it was overcast in Funchal, we were promised that the sunset on Pico do Arieiro would be good. Well, it was not good, IT WAS FANTASTIC!. Jorge and his colleagues were generous hosts and delivered is to Pico in time to enjoy the area about 30 minutes before sunset. After sunset they drove us to a nice location about 20 minutes back towards town and served a very good homestyle buffet of baked chicken, vegetarian pasta, salad and dessert. Of course wine and beer was plentiful. It was a great time and exactly as promised.

Beautiful Sunset Tour - This tour was wonderful, we had some locally prepared food and drinks. They were delicious. We were lucky the sun finally came out later in the day and the sunset was very gorgeous. The photos came out very well. Our driver Joao was wonderful and very friendly. I also met many wonderful fellow travellers and had a great time with everyone. I would recommend this tour to others!!

Great views, poor dinner. - Worth it for the views but the "buffet style dinner" was a huge disappointment. We stopped at a gravelly apron at the side of the road and the "buffet" was 2 hot plates with chicken and potatoes and 3 plastic bins with garlic bread, salad, and pineapple. Sat on ground because not enough space at the 2 picnic tables without feeling like you were sitting on a stranger's lap. Skip this tour and pay for a tour without food and eat at one of the zillion amazing restaurants on the island. Oh and FYI, the bathrooms at the Pico do Ariero information centre are closed after hours so you will not have access to a washroom for the entire 4+ hours of the tour.
