What we expect

The Nuns Valley, Curral das Freiras, a small parish surrounded by steep mountains, is located in the heart of the island. This deep valley is thought to have been shaped either by erosion or volcanic activity.

Upon passing the church of Santo António, your first stop will be the Pico dos Barcelos viewpoint, situated at 350 m. From here, you'll be able to enjoy the magnificent view of Funchal.

Continuing your journey, you'll make your way through the mountains until you reach Eira do Serrado. At an elevation of 1094 m, this vantage point offers an excellent view overlooking Curral das Freiras.

Enjoyed the whole experience. Benjamin the driver, had a very good knowledge and had great customer service skills. The stop at the viewpoint on the way gave a great view of Funchal. The view of the Nuns valley from the viewpoint is truly breath taking. It is a personal favourite of:mine now. Even the journey to and from the valley is spectacular. Thanks Benjamin for a great: Sunday morning experience and recommendation of where to get coffee in the village.

Zeer vriendelijke gids, gaf goede uitleg. Enige grote minpunt was de bus waar je als sardienen werd ingepropt. Mijn echtgenoot en zoon zijn beiden 1.95 m lang, beenruimte was gewoon onvoldoende. Zelfs ik (1.74m) zat gekneld met knieën tegen zetel. Knieën zagen blauw na het uitstappen.

Patrick was a fantastic driver/guide. Excellent knowledge, describing the area and historic facts while still navigating switchback roads and traffic. Stunning scenery throughout, very enjoyable.

The actual tour was good, Nuns Valley is stunning and the drive up along the mountain roads is great fun if you like steep and winding roads. However the actual tour was non-existent. The driver almost totally ignored us and just spoke to a group that spoke Portuguese. He may have been doing an actual tour but we have no idea. We may have well just got a taxi up there rather than paying out money for a guided tour.

Picked up from hotel, driver/guide was good, kept us informed of where we were and where we were going. Trip.and sights were amazing well worth going.

The only problem was there was no air conditioning on the coach which made it quite uncomfortable.

The best point is walking up to the viewpoint above Nun's Valley. The views are amazing of the valley below and the mountain peaks. I think the trip could be improved by allowing more time in the village within Nun's Valley that was included in the trip itinerary. This would allow time to visit the museum which we were not able to do because of time restraints.

Aivan mahtava opas mukana, Alberto tuli tilalle kun alkuperäinen opas oli kipeänä ja se oli kyllä parasta mitä voi toivoa ja retki oli täydellinen ;)

Fin tur, god guide, passe lengde - eneste jeg savnet var litt mer info på forhånd, om rute, stopp og klestips

The guide (I think his name was Alberto?) was incredible - he held the tour in English, German and French, as not everybody spoke English. The tour itself was okay, it is important to know that it is NOT a walking tour but with a mini-bus. The view from the miradouros were incredible, the village nuns-valley however is not very intersting. It's a good tour if you don't have a car and want to know a bit about the island.

The weather was very cloudy so a lot of the trip was pointless. The guide did his best and the views we could see were spectacular but cloud hampered the whole trip

Excellent trip. Cheerful knowledgeable guide/driver. Prompt pickup. Plenty of time to see the views, have a coffee and take photos. At no time rushed. Only eight on the trip, four couples so only four pickups and drop offs, reducing the times travelling from one hotel to another. So increased time to see the fabulous views. As a result a perfect half day trip to leave the rest of the day to do something else.

War enttäuscht, weil ich mich auf eine Wandertour gefreut hatte und diese Tour (für mich von der Beschreibung her nicht zu erkennen) eine sightseeing-Bus-Tour war.

Der Guide hat gut englisch gesprochen, deutlich und langsam, sodass wir ihn gut verstanden haben. Mit kleinen Witzen und Annekdoten hat er die erzählten Fakten deutlich interessanter geschildert. Sehr empfehlenswert!!!

Die Tour ging eher 2 Stunden anstatt 4 Stunden. Es wurde nicht viel erzählt und man wurde nur von Touri-Punkt zum nächsten gefahren. Schöne Aussicht in das Tal. Aber Preis-Leistung passt nickt zusammen. Zudem wird man nicht herumgeführt sondern nur von Punkt zu Punkt gefahren und dann alleine gelassen. Buchung sehr einfach und Abholung vor dem Hotel auch. Tour ist nicht zum empfehlen.
