So so experience. Saw the Christ statue and a waterfall. Did not visit main attractions on island. Just 3 1/2 hours start to finish. Would not recommend.
Operator response
I have contacted the other clients who participated in the same tour and traveled in the same vehicle. They confirmed that the itinerary included visits to Cristo Rei, Santa Cruz, cultivated terraces and small villages, as well as the Santo da Serra market. The tour also featured off-road segments and provided viewpoints over Porto da Cruz, Machico, and Ponta de São Lourenço, accompanied by explanations about each location, local fauna, flora, and other key features.
I would like to clarify that your excursion lasted approximately 3 hours and 42 minutes. The other clients' tour extended to about 4 hours and 15 minutes, as their pick-up and drop-off points were further away. Please note that you had reserved a half-day tour, which corresponds to approximately 4 hours and covers around 62 kilometers. Given the duration and the number of sites visited, your excursion covered a significant number of highlights within the expected time frame for a half-day tour.
