Excellent choice to discover Madeira - We did a full-day trip around the Eastern part of the island, doing many stops to enjoy beautiful views and to walk around. We went there on a minibus. I would like to thank for the bus driver who was our guide at the same time. A great professional, agreable person who was willing to help us with whatever we needed. His guiding skills are at a very high level.

Good and reliable - A very nice tour with a fantastic guide. Marco can tell a lot about the island. We got to know him at the transfer of the plane and booked the East and West tour because of him. The company is very approachable and Anita has arranged everything well for us and just through the app.

Amazing tour with a great guide ! - Highly recommend this tour and this tour company. Saw some amazing places that we would not have seen otherwise . The views were really breathtaking and there was a real variety of places . In addition we got to experience some rum tasting and some good traditional food (although there was absolutely no pressure to buy anything ) . The trip was made even better by our great guide “Romero” who was very knowledgeable and friendly and gave us a good insight into the geography , culture and history of Madeira . So pleased we booked it !

A day to love in Madeira. - From the start, we could see the love that our guide Marco has for Madeira. We had a lovely day with him exploring half of the island. He set up a great lunch for us at a local restaurant in Santana and made great suggestions of local foods to try. He was so informative about the history and daily life in Madeira. The island is stunning. We had a great day.

Absolutely worth the money. Fantastic whole day out - A fabulous, interesting facts about Madeira, amazing breathtaking at times views. Dont miss this trip.. Its a long day, but plenty of stop offs for refreshments or loo break. Wear comfy shoes and bring layers as it can get windy/chilly at times when up high.. Marco was lovely and spoke plenty of languages so no one felt left out.. Mini bus is quite tight regarding leg space and width space thats my only niggle... Bring change for toilets .. Some of the views you need to walk up hill on uneven ground so not good if you struggle with this..

The best way of discovering Madeira! - We booked a two day private tour as we didn’t have much time. On these two days our tour guide, Marco, showed us the best highlights in the North and the West of the island. From the very start Marco impressed us with his remarkable knowledge on pretty much any topic related to the island: history, botanics, economics, politics, society etc. He continuously adapted the depth of his explanations to our interests. Madeira and Marco impressed us so much that we know we will be back very soon!
