Detailed information sent the day before the activity. Transport provided was clean, pock up and drop off on time. The actual trail was wonderful, self-guided.

We did a self guided 25 fontes levada walk which was excellent value. The walk was lovely, information taken from insta was useful as we weren't handed a guide like the pre info mentioned. There was one part where we wondered if we were on the right path as the signage wasn't clear with the insta information and it would be handy to know how long a break we could take at each point. We weren't rushed and strolled the walk and had plenty of time though. The tunnel at the end was much longer than we expected and wet underfoot in parts. A fabulous walk, very pretty and stunning views. The 25 fontes became very crowded, but is beautiful. We got some great photos
