If you do one tour in Madeira, choose this one - We had the best time with Diego K. He navigated the steep windy roads with ease and we felt 100% safe even on the narrowest paths! We also did the West of the island tour with him earlier in the week which was amazing. This East of the island tour is so underrated - the pictures do not do it justice. Better view points and less busy than the West tour. The forrests for the off roading sections were thrilling and smelled so fresh. Hanging out the roof of the 4x4, you feel so free. Lunch in Santana was delicious, we ate at Cantino de Serra (absolute bargain - 20 euro for a 3 course meal with drinks and massive portions!). Definitely recommend the pork main course (the octopus is also nice but the pork is better). Also the passionfruit dessert is not to be missed. There was a vegetarian in our group who said the pasta was really good too. This was the best tour of our Madeiran adventure. It should definitely be on your itinerary

East of the Madeira - It was my 2nd trip with Diogo, I would love to recomend it to you! This side of island is less visited by tourists so you can enjoy pure nature, Diogo will show you some hidden gems of f the island and lead you for the dinner to the local restaurant! For me it was 5/5 adventure!

I loved this. Our guide... - I loved this. Our guide tailored the whole experience to our needs. He loved showing off his island. He picked me up from my hotel, which was out of the way for a 20€ supplement (cash).

Super entertaining day trip- definitely recommended - The tour was thoroughly successful and even made the day an experience for our high-class guys. Our guide was great, super good mood and entertaining. The music in the jeep is wonderful. Value for money unsurpassable. Only at lunch is there room for improvement. We would have liked more individuality.
