Great way to see Madeira - Paulo and Milton our tour guides made our experience amazing! Wish I wore many warm layers as pico do Areeiro was very cold and rainy. We experienced a side of Madeira that most do not get to see. I wish we stopped in more places but it was still an amazing day! Later in the week I did the west of Madeira with another guide (can’t remember his name) who never spoke a word and was stubborn didn’t want to turn on the 4x4 getting us stuck when he eventually had no choice but to get out and do it. But not before trying many times and scaring us. Two different experiences with different guides.

We were picked up in the morning from our hotel. We then travelled to various locations around the island. - I highly recommend if you are visiting Madeira. Our tour guide Rodrigo was brilliant and knowledgeable about the island. If you are looking to explore this diverse island within a day trip with a thrill, look no further.

highlights of Eastern Madeira - Gabriel was a very good guide who paced the day so that we had long enough at each stop to explore properly. He made good suggestions to get the best out of any viewpoints and managed to beat the crowds at popular places.
The group was small enough that we all had good views out of the jeep.
Would definitely recommend this trip

Fabulous from start to finish 👏 - The tour was everything we hoped for and more. Jose, our guide, was smiling and happy from the start and that continued throughout the day. He drove really well and cared for us off road with warnings of branches and/or dips, steep corners etc. He offered to take photo's of us as couples and as a group, these will become great reminders of our East Madeira tour. At one point he slipped down a muddy embankment whilst getting a photo of us all!! He carried on the tour as normal even partially covered in soil!! A true professional indeed. His knowledge of Madiera was substantial and we learned all sorts of interesting things, historical and present day. The free rum tasting was an added surprise and very enjoyable, he added the Madieran sugar cake as a birthday treat for one of our group, we shared this whilst singing happy birthday.
The tour was great and Jose was excellent in all manners. His sense of humour kept us smiling too! And excellent experience from start to finish.

Perfect experience - We had a fantastic day! I would highly recommend booking this tour. Our guide Miguel truly went the extra mile for us. The day included many stops at scenic viewpoints with breathtaking views, exciting drives along dirt roads, and a perfectly paced walk. Be sure to bring warm clothes, as it can be windy at the top.
