Although our planned... - Although our planned toboggan ride was cancelled due to rain, Moises gave a well informed tour of the area, including the beautiful church and the fascinating train museum. We appreciated Moises’ knowledge as well as his thoughtfulness.

A memorable experience! Book it now! - Our tuk tuk guide Moises was brilliant! Full of information. His communication beforehand was excellent and he arrived on time. Headed off to Monte for a quick visit to the old railway station and then onto the fabulous experience in the toboggan sledge. Waiting in the long queue was no issue as he gave us lots of history and information about the island. The toboggan was an amazing experience. 2km downhill in a wicker chair with some exhilarating moments. Just do it! A unique experience indeed. Afterwards we headed back into Funchal old town for more touring and interesting history lessons. He even recommended a wonderful restaurant for lunch with fantastic views and great food. All round a very memorable day! Thank you!

An incredible experience!... - An incredible experience! We went canyoning in Madeira and absolutely loved it from start to finish. Everything was very well organized, we felt safe the whole time while having so much fun, and the landscapes are breathtaking. The manager and the whole team were very friendly, professional, and made us feel comfortable, even as beginners. We enjoyed every moment — from the jumps to the rappelling and exploring nature. We highly recommend it! Thank you for this unforgettable adventure.

Good fun - Laura our guide was amazing, we never got the wicker ride because of the queues but we did go down the course in the Tuk Tuk which was fun and quite hairy as they don't have great brakes and we did see many interesting parts of the old town.

Disappointed - Disappointed that we never got to the tobbogans. Apparently there was a wait of over 2 hours. It was part of a 60th celebration. Apart from that a very enjoyable experience
