Surrounded by steep mountains, the village of Curral das Freiras (Valley of the Nuns) seems like an impossible place to access when viewed from the Eira do Serrado lookout point. But its remote location is exactly why it was embraced by the escaped slaves and nuns who fled from pirates in Funchal.

It’s a must-see with breathtaking view and culture
The pick-up and the whole trip went as scheduled, the driver was kind and knowledgeable. We saw wonderful places and the weather was perfect for the experience. It’s a very easy tour, mainly spending time traveling from one stop to another by car. Then we could spend 30-45 minutes wondering around the places where we stopped. We loved it very much!

Perfect tour for solo travelers!!
I had a great time at the tour. I took multiple tours with Lido Tours and I would highly recommend to anyone. It is perfect if you do not want to drive yourself as the roads are winding. Guide/driver was very knowledgeable and nice.
