Intura Travel Reviews 

We found travelling with Intura travel really easy. We picked this company because it had the best hiking itinerary for the smaller islands. We had some hiccups arriving due to low mist but Intura sorted it all about for us with no fuss! The drivers were very friendly and had good english- they were happy to change things to suit your hiking style and travel needs. There were good restaurant recommendations and the accommodations were excellent with great Continental breakfasts. I would highly recommend.

Good, well balanced itinerary. We wanted a walking holiday where we didn't need to move on every day, but wasn't centre based either - this was ideal. Route directions, maps and GPX were good. (Although we did have one walk where we were not sent the right GPX file, but it was easy enough to create our own from the map).
We opted for the 'standard' accomodation which was nice and friendly. Taxi transfers worked very well. The taxi driver messaged about 20-30mins before the pick up time to confirm, which enabled us to be on the way before time. This suited us and I'm sure the driver very well.
Would certainly look at using Intura again and even though we are based in the UK, communication has been very good.

The guide book was good on directions but is was confusing at times as to where aspects of the route were, as in the dizzying sections.
The cabs used were good and the drivers helpful.
Hotels were varied but all were ok for trip.
The Caldiero Verde route would be much better if starting at Queimadas as the first 20minutes were a waste. Also much better to return to Queimadas as everyone else on walk did except us as route to Ilha was awful, boring and boggy.

Other walks were good and start and finish points excellent.

We chose Intura for our Madeira walking holiday because we thought they had the best programme covering much of the island, and their package represented good value for money. Eight weeks before departure, we received a detailed, informative and well written “Road Book” describing our walks, accommodation and transfer arrangements. This was accompanied by GPX files of all the walks for use with our GPS device. A few weeks before our departure wildfires swept through many of the areas where we would be walking and the impact of this was unclear. Intura designed an alternative programme for us at no cost, avoiding the closed-off fire damaged areas and provided new documentation to the same high standard. In the event, all the arrangements worked flawlessly. With us being English based in UK and Intura being a French company based in France, we wondered if this would introduce any difficulties, but we never experienced any.
