Best tour guide - Had the most amazing experience in Madeira with Christophe, our guide for the day. He made us all feel at ease and was very knowledgeable about the history of the island and flora, always giving us interesting facts about Madeira. Was my first experience with a 4X4 off road and Christophe amazed me with his driving skills through the eucalyptus forest. I highly recommend the tour to anyone wishing to see most of the island but on a short amount of time. Christophe took us to all the best spots, but knew how to avoid the crowds and it didn't feel very touristy. Thank you, Christophe for making my Madeira trip a memorable one!

Book it, you'll love it - My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our day exploring the island with our guide Christophe, he was extremely knowledgeable and very funny and quick witted. We leaned a lot from him and laughed soo much. Christophe knew exactly when to arrive to avoid the crowds on tour buses and other excursions, this just added to our day and made it much more personal. The off-roading was a brilliant addition to the experience. I would highly recommend booking this excursion

Beyond Expectations – Authentic and Beautiful Madeira Experience - I booked the West Tour of Madeira via Booking.com, which included an off-road vehicle and was guided by Christophe. As a solo female traveler, I was quite nervous beforehand – it was my first time joining a guided tour, and I was worried it might feel too touristy. But I was completely and positively surprised! The tour was brilliantly organized and full of thoughtful touches. Christophe planned the day exceptionally well – we visited many stunning spots, and the entire route was full of surprises and variety. I had done a lot of research about Madeira before my trip, and several of the places I had noted as “must-see” were actually included in the tour. It was a perfect balance between professional and personal. Christophe took the time to explain things in detail and gave us real insight into the island – not only its history and culture, but also its incredible nature. He included us in conversations and explanations, which made it all feel very engaging and authentic. There was also a lovely short hike of about 25 minutes included – a beautiful and refreshing part of the day. Although I usually avoid typical guided tours, this one truly exceeded all expectations. It was a wonderful experience, and I can recommend it to anyone without hesitation – whether traveling solo or in a group. If I ever return to Madeira, I would definitely book another tour with Christophe.

Wonderful West Madeira tour - We had an amazing experience on our West Madeira tour, thanks to our fantastic guide Christophe. He was incredibly knowledgeable and full of energy, which made the entire day fun and engaging. What really stood out was his ability to take us off the beaten path—he knew all the best shortcuts and exactly how to avoid the traffic, so we could make the most of our time exploring. His insights about the island’s history, culture, and nature added so much depth to the journey, and he shared everything with such passion and enthusiasm that it was impossible not to be captivated. Overall, it was a perfect mix of breathtaking scenery, smooth logistics, and genuine local charm. If you’re thinking about exploring Madeira, this tour is a must—and if you’re lucky enough to have this guide, you’re in a good hands.

Fantastic tour of north and west of Madeira. Led by our excellent guide Christophe. - Well paced tour in a comfortable Land Rover Discovery.. Should have been for four but only two on the day, which made it very personal. Really enjoyed the off road experience, where we stood up through the opened roof along tracks through the forest. Short but enjoyable Levada walk gave us a good “taster”. Great experience of the forest at Fanal in swirling mist, which broke to reveal dramatic tres and vistas. Good time swimming in the volcanic pools at Porto Moniz. Then a drive along the north coast to see waterfalls and the beach at Seixal. Full eight hour day, which flew by under the care of our excellent guide Christophe. He was very knowledgeable and good humoured which added to our day.

Fabulous Madeira Jeep Tour - This was definitely the highlight for myself and my friends. Christopher was very knowledgeable, fun and charming. He made the trip around Madeira thrilling. We loved the west side so much we booked the east side the next day. I would highly recommend Christopher and this company for a once in a lifetime experience. 5 stars all round!!!

A very memorable tour of West Madeira - My wife and I had a very enjoyable day tour of the West of this wonderful island, guided by Christophe. Island Explorer is his own company and his Land Rover seats 6 people rather than the more common 8 people, so he offers a more personalised experience. His detailed knowledge of Madeira and his cheeky humour had us in fits of laughter. Although I can't claim that I was as comfortable in the drop-down rear as those in the main cabin of the Land Rover, it allowed me to stick my head out of the top of the vehicle during the exciting off-road stretches, and it all contributed to a very memorable day - so much that we quickly decided to sign up for the East Madeira tour! We visited many places on the West tour (more than we could ever have covered travelling independently) but never felt rushed, as Christoph always took good care of us and gave us extra time if required. I thoroughly recommend Island Explorer as a convenient, memorable and, above all, fun way of seeing many highlights of West Madeira.
