A memorable trip - The itinerary was perfect. It covered all the attractions of the island as promised. The driver cum guide was excellent. He kept everybody engaged through out the trip. He was polite and courteous. The only drawback of the trip was that the bus was not comfortable. Little legspace and non reclining seats.

west coast tour - we really enjoyed the trip, it was unfortunate that it was raining when we got to the Fanal forest, but we understood that was the naure of the islands weather. The driver was excellent, the mini bus a liitle cramped and views not as easy from the inside seats.

An enjoyable and interesting day touring the Western side of Madeira. - As we didn't have a car, we decided to do this trip in order to see some interesting parts of the Island. We particularly enjoyed the Fanal forest (quite spooky) and very beautiful. We also liked the pools at Porto Moniz but would definitely recommend the free pools over the paid ones - which seemed busy and a bit hectic. We would have liked to have spent more time on the North coast on the way back - particularly Seixal as that looked really pretty. But a lot is packed in to one day and it was a good trip overall. Our guide was friendly and informative.

It was ok, but nothing more - - There were more than the maximum number of participants indicated - there was no stop in Ponta do Sol as indicated, we just drove through - the contact points at the respective attractions are overflowing with tourists and it is currently difficult to find the driver or the vehicle again - however, the tour guide spoke great English and German and gave us a lot of knowledge about the island
