Disappointing experience with pick up

Suasn_S, Nov 2025

The actual walk was great. All on the flat and about 6km. The guide was also good and very informative about the flora and fauna, although by the very nature of the Levadas you are walking in single file and if you are at the back you are unable to hear. The reason I have only given it 3 stars is the pick up system. The walk advertises pick up from hotel. However despite staying in a very central hotel we were asked to meet the minibus at a different location. We got there 5 minutes early and then proceeded to wait in the rain for 35 minutes, without shelter, as the bus arrived 30 minutes late! During the 30 minute wait I phoned the tour operator 5 x times before they actally answered the phone. Apparently there was a problem with the pick up at the port!!! As I understood it, if you are not at the pick up point on time, you get left behind and loose your money. Are people of cruise ships more important than the rest of your clients? We then made a 25 minutes detour to pick up a couple from a golf complex. Why weren't they asked to go to a convenient pick up point like us?? As we were then running so late we had to make an additional toilet stop as some poor people before us had then been on the bus over 1.5 hours! After all this the actual walk eventually got under way.
