The walk was relatively easy but there are quite some parts with stairs up and down and the pace was quite fast so there is no time to really "see" anything. The track is really busy, there is crowd everywhere and quite unsafe and unpleasant to be at 25 fountains. The tour is well organized but there is no possibility to use any toilet during the whole hike (only before and after hike). You also need a flashlight (can be in your phone) to go through the tunnel. The guide was friendly and also gave us some information about surroundings etc. If you want to really enjoy the nature I would recommend to choose other levadas

Great guide and driver and well organised. The walk was too slow for us as seasoned walkers and the location overrun with visitors. The area round the 25 fountain was unsafe due to numbers of people - watched an older man slip on the rocks and nearly have a serious fall. The ‘one-way’ walking routes don’t work and awkward encounters with other walkers are frequent. Would hesitate to recommend this excursion due to these concerns.

We had an experienced guide which was great as the weather was not the best. Unfortunately that did mean that we could not go to the Rabacal. However - the guide was informative and very funny. It was a small group that kept close during the trip. Highly recommend.
