About
The first stop is at the Pico dos Barcelos viewpoint. Here you can see the landscape over Funchal Bay and the mountains. Then we go up to Eira do Serrado (1053 meters high) where there is a panorama over the parish of Curral das Freiras. Access to the viewpoint is via a footpath. After visiting this point, we left for Monte known for its gardens and the Church of Nossa Senhora do Monte.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- abw56390 contributionsGreat service , on time and efficientBooking process through Holiday extras was easy . MTG met us at the airport arrials hall . Quicky taken by a very quick and courteous driver to our hotel . He loaded all cases carefully . Van was just the right size, comfortable for our party and what I expected. Return trip was the same driver who I though drove very well indeed. He arrived exactly on time for the return airport run . He never exceeded the speed limit and drove rapidly but safely which is just what you want when returning to the airport to beat the coaches . Definitely highly recommended .Written 12 June 2024
- Stratford K0 contributionsLavada walk Ribeiro do FrioDid the short walk ended up at the most amazing view point - easy flat walk 30m max each way - get there early we left at 11 if was getting sooo busyWritten 24 August 2023
- blowin0 contributionsLovely levadaStarts in Camacha and is easy to follow through varied, mostly forested terrain. Lacks signage round the football stadium if trying to connect to the levada dos Tornos and on to Monte.Written 21 April 2023
- Lynda C0 contributionsThe walk to 25 Fontes is long and very up/down hill and steps - beware.We went to the Levada das 25 Fontes (not the Risco one). We are in our 60s but quite fit. The walk is long and winding with a lot of uphill/downhill and hundreds if not thousands of steps. Add to that some very narrow parts above cliff edges. It is a tough walk so advice is - take the mini bus which is from the car park (by the barrier where the walk starts) for 3 euros each. Take it each way (we only took on way back). It takes you quite a long way to a cafe/toilet stop which is as far as a vehicle can go (tourist vehicles cannot go there). Cafe has lovely food and drinks - indoor and outdoor seating. 0.50 euro coin needed for toilets - it has a machine to change notes if you do not have coins. However, we did make it to the final waterfall which was very impressive indeed with a lot of water dropping from a great height. Some crazy young men were jumping into the pool at the base of the waterfall - I image it was freezing! So proud to have done this walk - but will not do again when we return.Written 25 January 2023

- Karen B0 contributionsTry to get a sensible flight time where you can use the Aerobus for 5 eurosTurned up on time for the stupid o clock flight with Ryanair to Manchester at 4.45am for the agreed 35 euros only to be told it was now 45 euros. What can you do and boy do they know it. Aerobus from the airport to the hotel was 5 eurosWritten 25 November 2022
- victoria13070 contributionsAirport transfer - perfect serviceBooked return transfer from the airport to the Savoy Saccharum hotel in Calheta. Booked via Hoppa for around £65 return, which was much cheaper than the hotel transfer (€70 each way!). Driver was very polite, with a fancy car, shirt and tie, and pointed out areas of interest along the way, and was super chirpy even when picking us up at 3.30am for our early flight home. Would definitely recommend, and will use again when we return in the future.Written 15 November 2022
- FloppyFlippy0 contributionsNot what was booked and paid for !To use good vehicles and give you what was booked and paid for ! Booked via booking.com ( still waiting for a reply) and paid extra for a luxury mini van for up to 6 persons. Booking stated this company was dealing with the transfer. When we where met at the airport we was shown the oldest taxi I’ve ever been in… No air con, window didn’t open and car struggled up hills - see the photo of the 1980s Merc ! Car was not good ( driver ok) Better of getting taxi at the airport as you can choose and cheaper.Written 29 August 2022
- sjb_davos0 contributionsairport transfer taxi service provided good informationThe booking was made online through airport taxi transfers and then provided locally by MTG travel agency. The driver provided his personal details and information that he was at the pickup point even prior to landing. Friendly conversation during the ride to the hotel, and also had an information packet with details on different activities.Written 20 September 2019

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
