A Very Happy Tour with Luis and Happy Tours! - An excellent tour with the lovely Luis Mateus as our tour guide. He was so informative and gave us a great memorable experience. His knowledge is extensive. The tour look in some beautiful view points and places of interest. There was plenty of comfort stops and a lovely lunch stop. For two years we have booked all our tours through Happy Tours. Thank you to the whole team.

Low emissions island tour - Comfortable bus. Guide pleasant and informative. Our tour included a visit to a rum factory. Bus was brand new and electric which gave us a feel good factor due to low emissions.

Excellent service, well worth tour price, beautiful scenic drive & places - I booked this tour as we were on the Virgin Voyages cruise. The meeting point is a short walk to CR hotel from port. Exceptional service from Hugo tour guide, scenic drive & beautiful places to visit. The euro is 21x our currency & i don't regret the tour price as it was well worth everything we saw & more. I am so glad we booked this tour & we were brought back to cruise ship on time. I hope to visit Madeira again, after this great tour.

One of the best vacations we have done and we have done many - We were there for a week and did 2 1/2 tours with Happy Tours. We did, West, North and Nuns Valley. They found us a great hotel, picked us up and drove us to the airport. Super friendly, accommodating and informative. All their recommendations for things to do and places to eat were fantastic. I would not even bother asking or looking elsewhere when I go next time. We arranged everything easily through them. If there was more than 5 stars I would give them that.

Not to be missed - Myself and my wife did all four tours, the North, South, East and West. On all of these tours our driver was Lous. His knowledge, sense of humour, and professionalism exceeded all expectations The entire experience from going to Happy Tours office in Funchal and speaking to the agents, booking and the pick up, just great

Excellent tour to the wild and rugged north side of the island - Excellent tour to the wild and rugged north side of the island. Pick up was prompt from the cable car station in Funchal, but my hotel wasn't offered as a pick up option. Great views and interesting stops with an informative and entertaining guide. Just six people in an eight seater minibus made this a comfortable tour.

Not a good trip, take the NE instead - Too many short stops to see nothing exciting. Got dumped in Santana at a restaurant the driver kept pumping (20 euros each). There was nothing to see in Santana except some fake triangle roofed huts selling tourist tat. We had done the NW tour to Porto Maritz last year which was a lot better. We understood about a third of the commentary because the driver's accent was so awful. He came across a bit obsequious at stops getting out of the bus. I wanted to tell him to leave us alone.
