Madeira West - A Different World - We stayed in the old part of town where vehicles are not allowed, but the company did a great job of managing the issue and arranging a convenient pick-up. The guide, Dino, was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. His philosophy was that he wanted to do what ever was possible to address our needs and questions and to make sure that our enjoyment was his top priority. We had already been on a tour of the Western side of the island and we assumed that the tours would be fairly redundant. We were wrong. The two sides of the islands might as well be from different planets. Both were rugged, but very distinctive. It was a very enjoyable and informative day which we enjoyed very much.

Beautiful Eastern Madeira - We had a fabulous tour of the eastern part of Madeira, two adults and two kids, 10 and 8 years old. We had a minibus to ourselves and our guide and driver Dino did an outstanding job.

Fabulous Tour and Great Guide - A fantastic day. Dino was such a great guide and was so informative about the island, it's flora and fauna. He took us to so many places of interest. We went inside an authentic Madeiran house and met the owner who gave us a liquor. We were above the clouds and down in valleys. We had lunch in a small restaurant that Dino had booked before heading to the rum factory. It was a small group, just four of us which made it even more special. If we go back to Madeira again I will be booking Dino for the West Tour. He is a fantastic guide and very witty, lots of laughs. Great memories. Thank you

Excellent guided day tour - The whole day was informative, entertaining and enjoyable. Dino, our driver/guide, was full of stories and information. He pointed out everything as we went along. He guided us to a superb little restaurant for lunch, guided us through the rum producer, kept us perfectly ahead of any other groups when he knew of popular places. 100% recommend him and this company for a small group trip around Madeira ( just 4 persons on a small mini bus for our trips.

Memorable experience - Having visited the West side of the island with Dino a couple of days earlier, we were excited and looking forward to this trip. Neither tour guide or island let us down. The East side felt totally different than the previous tour. Lots of lush green valleys and countryside. The views were out of this world. Dino again took time to explain all about the areas we visited and added in lots of extra details. We learnt so much about the area and its landscape and culture. All stops described in itinerary were enjoyable and interesting. The lunchtime restaurant stop with food was fantastic, the food was amazing. We were not planning on eating full meals, but the menu and food on offer were stunning, so we couldn't resist. Great tour, not rushed or hassled, Dino looked after my elderly Mum and Mother in law really well during the trip. It was definitely a great experience, which has left us with some great memories. Thank you
