    vor dem hintergrund der tui-milliardengewinne wahrscheinlich zu teuer. ich dachte eine tour ist ebenfalls eine wanderung. das war ein irrtum. aber die tour war dennoch sehr interessant und empfehlenswert. der guide hat auch viel erzählt und alle fragen beantwortet und es gab nichts zu beanstanden.

    Travelled as a couple


    John was our tour guide. We have been to Madeira several times, but we still saw a couple of places today that we had not seen before. John was very friendly and informative. He stopped at a little traditional Madeiran restaurant. The beef skewers were really lovely. I definately would use lido tours again
