Lovely walks ruined by terrible guide
On our recent visit to the island we went on two guided levada walks, the one listed and the other the Caldeiro Verde, with this company. They were beautiful walks and well organised, but our enjoyment was spoiled by the same irascible guide on both occasions. Unlike the many happy and friendly Madeira walking guides we have had in the past, he seemed to come from Planet Angry and within minutes of getting in the minibus he was arguing with clients (not me) about whether he should turn on the air conditioning. On the trail, he led the walks at the pace he wanted to go at (fast) rather than at a pace that suited the ability of the group, some of whom were in their seventies, shouting back at group members to keep up. He teased and mocked older or less able members of the group, one for using a stick, another for saying they were tired, and another, an older gentleman, for having vertigo. He left behind older and slower members of the group, one of whom subsequently had an accident, cutting her knee and leaving her shaken and unsteady on a very narrow path above big drops. When asked to slow down, he refused, instead mocking the request. Rather than imparting knowledge about the history and flora of the amazing countryside, on both occasions he seemed to want to get the walk over as soon as possible. I know these views were widely shared by other members of the group, none of whom seemed to have enjoyed the walk. Over many years of guided walks on the island, I have never had an experience like this and this individual should not be guiding walks.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are very sorry to hear that your enjoyment of both levada walks was affected by the conduct of the guide. The behaviour you describe is not in line with the standards of professionalism, care, and respect that we expect from our team. The safety and wellbeing of our guests, especially on mountain and levada routes, is our top priority, and it is concerning to read that this was not reflected during your walks. Please be assured that we take feedback of this nature extremely seriously. We can confirm that the guide in question no longer works with us. We are also reviewing our internal procedures and briefings to ensure that all guides consistently deliver a supportive, safe, and enjoyable experience for guests of all ages and abilities. We are very sorry that this impacted what should have been two memorable experiences, and we appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

A stunningly beautiful walk
A stunningly beautiful walk in amazing lush green laurisilva forest in the mountains, along the levada routes to Risco waterfall and the 25 fontes as well as the tunnel out towards Calhetta. Philippe our guide was brilliant! He told us so many interesting facts about the area and all the different plants and wildlife and it's clear how much he loves sharing it with people. We were exceptionally lucky with the weather as it was very clear all day. The walk is paced to suit everyone as we had a range of ages. It's a relatively easy walk if you are used to walking with some steps and sleepy sections but generally gentle gradients or flat. Can be slippy in places and near the falls and especially in the tunnel it is wet underfoot so boots are advisable, as is a torch and a rain jacket. It's easy to see why this is such a popular walk, one not to he missed and the tour company were excellent.
Response from the operator: Dear Claire, First of all, we'd like to thank you for your fantastic feedback. We are delighted to know that your experience with us was fantastic. Our team does everything to make your holiday memorable and unforgettable, always conveying our love and pride for our incredibly beautiful Madeira Island. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the near future. Best regards from the entire Ilha Tours team

Great guide
Great guide and a good walk. A little crowded at the 25 fountains but OK on the walk itself. Very disappointed that two seatbelts on the minibus were broken. Not good enough and this needs to be fixed ASAP.

A beautiful hike with a wonderful guide
We very much enjoyed this hiking trip with Felipe, our guide. He is friendly, experienced, patient, helpful, keeps up the pace and has a nice sense of humour. He knows a lot about the surroundings, the vegetation, the animals and Madeira in general which is just lovely! He watched over our safety from beginning to end, starting with the bus ride. He took no risks when things got rather steep. The hike was beautiful, but sometimes rather crowded because of its popularity.
Response from the operator: Dear customer, First of all, we'd like to thank you for your fantastic feedback. We are delighted to know that your experience with us was fantastic.

Great scenery
As we were arriving by cruise ship we were picked up on time near the cruise terminal. We were taken to the north of the island and the guide thoughtfully stopped off en route so we could stock up on some snacks. The views on the walk were amazing but be aware there are some steep steps but nothing too bad. Magno our guide was excellent with a good sense of humour. It's a seven mile walk so wear sturdy footwear.
Response from the operator: Dear Customer, Thank you so much for your comment, it's really satisfying to receive such fantastic feedback. We're glad to hear that it wasn't just a tour of the island, but also a tour full of information about our nature, agriculture, and much more! We're delighted that your day was so relaxing. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future. Thank you and a big hug from the whole Ilha Tours team =)

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
PR6 Levada Wood : Rabaçal - 25 Sources: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Funchal.
How much does PR6 Levada Wood : Rabaçal - 25 Sources cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Funchal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does PR6 Levada Wood : Rabaçal - 25 Sources take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Funchal is not rushed.
Is PR6 Levada Wood : Rabaçal - 25 Sources worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Funchal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule PR6 Levada Wood : Rabaçal - 25 Sources?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is PR6 Levada Wood : Rabaçal - 25 Sources suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book PR6 Levada Wood : Rabaçal - 25 Sources?
+
Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Funchal can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Funchal and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does PR6 Levada Wood : Rabaçal - 25 Sources start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Funchal within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Funchal?
+
On Outty we rank every Funchal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jeep Tour Amazing West to Natural Pools -Full-Day, Porto Moniz, Seixal, Fanal Forest, Cliff Skywalk in Open Roof 4X4, West Tour-Fanal Forest & Porto Moniz Natural Pools Small Groups. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Funchal?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Funchal?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
