Grand day out. - Worthwhile trip visiting some interesting places and with amazing views. (Apart from up in the mountains where fog persisted) Lionel our driver made the day with his good humour, expert knowledge and obvious passion for his native island. Thank you for a great day! 😊

Thank you for making our visit so memorable—we highly recommend this tour!

Excellent guide and driver made an outstanding experience - We had a delightful day with an experienced guide who was an excellent driver, Paulo. His insights into life in Madeira as well as his detailed knowledge of the places we visited made it extremely enjoyable and relaxed. The scenery we travelled through is very varied with seaside and mountain included. We loved our time in Porto Moniz where the waves were beautiful, but terrifying. We were fascinated by the different churches in each of the villages and the chandeliers in Ribeira Brava and the story about them was a highlight. We were treated with curtesy and respect. It was an outstanding trip which we thoroughly recommend.

Excellent tour, and the best guides! - Excellent tour! Joao & Lionel were great tour guides, very knowledgeable, and answered everyone's questions. Lionel's driving skills were incredible on hairpin turns with buses & trucks passing, excellent driving. The route was incredible to see, Madeira is stunning! Joao did a great job detailing all we saw and more, all about beautiful Madeira, in English & German. It was a GREAT tour, and I highly recommend it!!

One way to see west side of island - Good way to see the west side of the island if traveling without a car although we were underwhelmed by the tour itself. The van was uncomfortable (very limited legroom even for a shorter person like myself; my 6’ 2” husband had his knees out in the aisle the whole time as he couldn’t sit facing forward). The guide had a lot to say but it seemed stream of consciousness and tended to repeat (eg, there was a lot of talk about poncha and its availability at our last stop of the day). We didn’t learn a lot of history or facts but did hear about which houses had recently been sold or where animals had wandered onto the road earlier in the week. The scenery was beautiful and the visited towns were charming. The guide kept jumping around between what we were about to see, what we’d see later in the day and what we’d see in the next day’s tour of the east side of the island (seemed to assume everyone was doing that). We were glad we hadn’t booked the second tour and the couple next to us said they had but were going to skip it based on the day’s experience. Smooth pick up and drop off in Funchal; tour operator did an excellent job sharing pick up time and location in advance of the tour and confirming that you’d received those instructions.

Tour was let down by unsuitable vehicle - The tour itself was very good. Our guide Renato was very informative and friendly and did an excellent job. We gave 3 stars because the transit van was unsuitable for touring as the windows were too small and low so we could not see much of the scenery above 2m…we would only use your company again if we were reassured that we would be allocated one of your vehicles with panoramic windows like the other tour buses you use.

No lakes, otherwise great - Our house was brilliant. She had a lot of knowledge about the landscape and wildlife, and was very considerate. My only quibble is that it advertised lakes. There were no lakes.
