March 8, 2023Used this company today for the hike, was so great to be picked up and dropped off at the front door of our accommodation. The guy was very informative and gives you plenty of time to get the hike done. He is also great for recommendations and is extremely friendly.
J Casey
March 3, 2023Great experience with Pico Transfers today, what a fab bunch. Excellent communication about the pick up and collection time snd lots of very detailed information sent about exactly what we needed to bring, to be aware of etc when heading up to hike Pico Areeiro to Pico Ruivo, Kevin was a great guide during the transfers, with lots of extra comments about the area and recommendations about places to go, restaurants etc. Definitely the way to do this walk, will absolutely use again next time we visit!!

Josh Waters
February 10, 2023Perfect for people without a car but still wanting to go hiking. Communication is excellent, clear, reliable and very friendly and professional. Driver Kevin was super punctual, with safe driving style and friendly conversation and recommendations. I stayed in Porto da Cruz, and it was no problem to be dropped off at a near by busstop. Hike was great with phenomenal weather and views. For regular hikers, you can do this in 3hours (onr way). Highly recommended.

Amazing day trip on a beautiful sunny day, Kevin and Elisabeth have been very helpful . Definitely recommend!
Paul Tugulescu
February 10, 2023A really good way to go on this beautiful hike! They are really punctual and provide explicit details, so you don't have to worry about the logistics. You have enough time to do the hike without rushing, but you don't need to wait for too long after that, perfect balance! The driver, Kevin, was talkative, friendly and gave good tips about the hike, as well as the island itself. Much recommended!

January 3, 2023Such a nice service, i can highly recommend the sunrise tour. They also give a very good tips for your tour and if you want you can hike with the people who are doing the tour with you:) further they have nice drivers and you can rely on their times.

An excellent transfer and experience visiting the peaks of Madeira. Big thank you to our driver Luis who was really friendly and answered all of our questions with a smile. He recommended some great restaurants on the island too!
Simon Hodgson
November 18, 20225 out of 5 experience! They sent full instructions a day before via whatsapp, we were well prepared. The pickup was timely and the driver shared lots of insights about the island and the upcoming hike. Definitely worth having the pickup on the other side of the island instead of leaving the car and having to walk all the way back (the hike is quite difficult but views are stunning).
Elina Kruze
November 16, 2022Excellent service. Elizabeth sent lots of information the day before including pick up time and weather forecast. Diego the driver was incredibly friendly and knowledgable. He was also a really safe driver! Highly recommend!

Amazing day made all the better by Pico Transfers. The communication post purchase was brilliant and the transfers the day itself even better. It felt like we had a full time tour guide!! Pico went above and beyond to make sure we had a great day. Don’t drive, go Pico!!

November 6, 2022They’re super professional, friendly and helpful. Best transfer service so far. Highly recommended.

October 30, 2022Super organisiert! Ich konnte online den Transfer buchen und bezahlen. Da in dieser Woche das Wetter schlecht war, an dem Tag wo ich gebucht habe, haben Sie mir per Email und Whatsapp geschrieben und das Datum kostenlos geändert. Am Tag vorher bekommt man dann per WhatsApp die Details für den Transfer. Der Fahrer war sehr pünktlich und hat un während der Fahrt noch Infos von der Umgebung gegeben. Die Abholung am Treffpunkt war wieder sehr pünktlich und wir sind dann noch kurz über Santana gefahren und haben die Häuser mit den Strohdächen angeschaut. Ich würde diesen Service jederzeit wiederholen!

Pico Transfers is offering a very useful shuttle service for the PR1 walk from Pico do Areeiro to Pico Ruivo. The communication and planning was quite remarkable, the driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. The walk itself is not very challenging, however for me it was a great opportunity to relax and meet other people on the route, after a few days of longer walks. I really hope to see more routes proposed by Pico Transfers in the near future, especially on the west side of the island (e.g. Rabaçal, Fanal)
George Sterpu
October 20, 2022I highly recommend this service for people who enjoy solo hiking rather than doing it with a group and a guide! It's really cool that you provide transport in this concept. The process of organising was very easy and I really appreciate the top quality communication and clarity (detailed info, maps etc). The driver was super friendly and talkative, he obviously loves his job wholeheartedly and is really dedicated. He provided us some extra information and answer questions. If you are looking for transfer to Pico de Arieiro it is definitely great choice!

October 20, 2022Pico transfers worked great for hiking Pico do Arieiro. The driver, Luis, did a great job and we also appreciated his restaurant recommendations!

Hi Elisabeth, just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for the great organisation on Sunday it made our trek very easy. Can you please thank Luis for the great driving and all the useful information he gave and being able to see the traditional houses at Santana was an unexpected bonus. We obviously had great weather to do the trek which made it all the more beautiful. We are already looking to come back to Madeira next year and we will certainly get in touch to see if you offer any other treks when we do. Once again thank you very much. Dave and Mark. 😃
Dave King
October 20, 2022Pico Transfers ist zu 100% empfehlenswert. Wir buchten die Sunrise Tour und waren pünktlich vor Sonnenaufgang am Pico do Arieiro. Am Tag zuvor bekam ich eine WhatsApp Nachricht mit allen wichtigen Infos (Abholung, Ablauf, Wetter etc.) für den Wandertag. Bei Fragen hätte man sich jederzeit melden können. Luís, der Fahrer, war sehr herzlich und humorvoll. Auf der Fahrt erfuhren wir noch sehr viele Highlights über die Insel. Da unsere Gruppe pünktlich zurück kam, gab uns Luis auf dem Rückweg mit dem Minivan eine kleine Privatführung durch Santana.
Mandy Richter
October 20, 2022Goede transfer. Luis is erg vriendelijk en enthousiast. Gaf veel tips voor het verdere verblijf in Madeira. Deze transfer is zeker een aanrader.

October 20, 2022Very impressed with the professional service offered by Pico Transfers. Our driver Diogo was professional, fun, and an excellent driver. I only expected a drive to the hike but he shared lots of information with us along the road so it was like a mini tour at the same time.
