West coast tour - Great value for money, tour guide was very knowledgeable and the locations that we stopped at were stunning. For lunch the guide recommended a restaurant which we took up and they served lovely food, but it would have been handy to know cash was preferred over card payment although they did let us pay by card.

A well organised and interesting Madeira West Tour - A great value day out exploring Madeira’s West Coast. Daniel was an excellent driver and guide; providing interesting information between each of our stops, and with advice on what to see/try/eat/experience at each stop. We were a mixed party of twelve. I was solo, but shared the day with couples and two families. My pick up was at 8.50; on time and I was dropped back at my hotel just before 6pm. So a packed day. Highlights for me was the Cabo Girau cliff viewing and the Port Moniz swimming. We had a two hour stop here, so plenty of time to swim and change. Go for the 3 euro pools, with easy access steps, toilets, lockers and changing rooms. I don’t think I really needed to pay for the locker though, as there was a really lovely crowd there; quietly enjoying the sea, without waves crashing in. Daniel was courteous and positive. His minibus was air conditioned. He also had a step for easy access and booster seats for the children. He also pointed out where the toilets were. These were free at most stops. At 58, I was the oldest! But this trip is suitable for all ages and really interesting. I would highly recommend!

Well worth spending a day out touring the West Coast of Madeira. - Pick up at scheduled time at hotel. Guide a very nice and informative guy. Itinerary adhered to, except for a wine tasting which didn’t happen, but wasn’t worried about that. Plenty of time to stop and take photos.

A fun way to explore the island - Overall this was a great experience and a good deal for what was included. Daniel, our guide, was knowledgeable on all things Madeira and engaging with all of the 12 people in our van. I give him a lot of credit as he had to repeat everything in 3 different languages! We would have liked to have more than 30 minutes in Fanal Forest. Perhaps the stop beforehand where we looked at a horizon could be eliminated. We, also, enjoyed Sao Vincente and would have liked more time there. Porto Moniz ended up getting cut to around an hour and 20 minutes, which really isn’t enough time to eat and swim. We didn’t plan on swimming, but would have liked time to sit by the pools. Be careful when and where you dine during midday. The restaurant we ate at (Polo Norte) had excellent food, but they are incredibly short-staffed - so we spent over an hour of our limited time sitting there vs. at the pools.

Fabulous tour - Excellent value and amazing sights, so much crammed into a whole day tour and Flavio was an excellent host and driver. We had a great time, the only way to see the island with limited time and on a budget.

Excellent visit throughout the island. - Excellent visit throughout the island. The driver is very nice and was able to convey good vibes to us and show us the good atmosphere that exists on the island. I share below a few amazing photos from today's walk.

Great Tour With Many Stops - Like another reviewer I initially picked this tour because the description made it seem like it didn’t stop at as many villages as other western island tours. Please note that the number of stops is pretty similar to other tours. However, our guide was great and we did end up finding things to enjoy even on the stops I was not keen on visiting.

Confusing and Unprofessional - East tour was way better. Not as much to see but it was nice swimming at Porto Moniz. Tour guide, Gama, was rude at the start of the tour. We were given two different meeting points, one in the app and one by email (very confusing), we weren’t allowed to be picked up right from our Airbnb so had to walk up a steep hill for 10 mins. Tour guide (Gama) was upset with us because we were 2 minutes early instead of 5-10mins early (none of the messages from Viator indicated we have to be earlier than the time they said). He wouldn’t even listen to me and continued to argue with me as if it’s our fault. I wasn’t even blaming him, I was just trying to explain why people may be confused to fix it for future tours. Then he proceeded to get mad at all the other people, he was picking up for the tour because they were having the same issue with the meeting point and time. Tour guide (Gama) was complaining about other drivers almost the whole tour instead of telling us about interesting facts of Madeira. At the end of the tour, he lectured us again about the meeting point and time. Very unprofessional.

Don't fall in trap.0 - The tour was announced as an English, but most of the time driver was speaking Portuguese. It was quite annoying. I am requesting full refund as well as $24 paid to the driver
