We started this course in the village of Porto da Cruz and ended in Machico. The route is made by footpath, once used by locals to transport their crops from Porto da Cruz to Machico south. Along the way we have fabulous views of the north coast and in some days you can see the island of Porto Santo.

I highly recommend the "Taste of Lisboa Food Tours" - Filipa went out of her way to research local places to shop and eat to fit my clean Keto-diet (Gluten/Dairy Free, Grass Feed/Grass Finished eats, and pasture-raised poultry), the farmers markets were amazing! I know now where to go grab a coffee and lunch and shop. Thanks Filipa!

Booked the private surf session, totally worth it. Pick-up on time, very friendly staff. Instructor was great, obviously had a lot of experience whilst making sure we (and the people around us) were safe. For someone who is somewhat allergic to sports and tried surf for the first time, it was a great experience, and it is highly recommended. The photos+Videos came the same day and even those were of good quality and nice moments shot. On our next visit to Lisbon we are first checking these guys' availability on their other packages, then booking anything else.
