Fanal Assobiadores - Mountain Walk

The hike was stunning and the female guide was really lovely too. Great walk through the forest. Was as nice to have lunch within Fanal forest / park itself.

This trail was great, we wanted to see Fanal Forest and we had another tour cancelled due to some bad weather around the time. We found this one with some space still and was still running.

The full trail is a bit less common compared to others like 25 Fontes, it's quite a muddy trail that's rocky going through forests and bushes some elevation and decline throughout but not on the most stable paths. Unfortunately we had some wet foggy weather which meant some of the lookout points you couldn't see anything but also meant we got the foggy ominous look at the Fanal Forest.

Our guide was amazing, she kept a good pace to make sure we stayed on time for the tour and had good conversations with her throughout. Be mindful of the pace as it was fine for us and we were always at the front but due to the trail some other people fell behind quite often and had to wait for them further along.

I can't comment too much on the actual walk as I became unwell and could only complete about a third of it. I wanted to comment however on how excellent and supportive both the guide Sarah and our driver was and I would be very happy to book with Lido Tours again.

This is our 3rd year in Madeira for Christmas and the 3rd year we've used Lido tours. In previous years we've used other companies as well, but Lido has proved to provide the best experience. Sara our guide speaks perfect English amongst many others. The walks are well managed and the most convenient way to see the best of Madeira. The Fanal walk is something quite different to some other walks on offer. We had no intention of using any other company other than Lido tours this year and were not disappointed.

The best tour guide we ever had. And we’ve been on many tours over the years. She was a credit to your company and herself. So knowledgeable, enthusiastic. Excellent. I’m terrible with names so i uploaded a photo with the tour guide in it.

This was a really great experience. It is well paced and, the views are spectacular. Sarah, the guide, is exceptional. Effortlessly hosting an eclectic group of tourists, speaking Spanish, German and English interchangeably! Sophisticated and really generous in the way she shared knowledge of the area, the Island and relevant folk lore.

There are physical challenges with the hike, it is steep in places and the steps can be slippy but, with a reasonable level of fitness, it is manageable.

There wasn’t mist the day we visited, instead we experienced a full day of clear skies and glorious sunshine which offered with it the most amazing backdrop of scenery. Very much worth visiting and, when next in Madeira we will be sure to use this tour company again.

The trip was great. I recommend it to everyone that wants to connect with the nature and surroundings of Madeira. It is a easy to medium difficulty for someone who usually does not exercise. Beautiful views to see. The tour wad well organized and the tour guide was nice and kind. I recommend this tour.

Wonderful hike in perfect weather giving us great views at the start and the misty experience in the Fanal forest. Sara was a wonderful guide giving us a lot of useful information. We also got 40 min at the end in the Fanal forest to explore on our own.

Everything was great. Guide was very professional. Even in ranný weather we enjoyed it very much. Highly recommended.

Tour with a small group and a knowledgable guide (Sara). Good pace. Hiking experience is recommended but you don't have to be a "pro" (it's about 10km). The landscapes were beautiful!
