Going out Westward - We were all cramped into a tiny minibus full to the brim of all sized passengers who struggled to see out the tiny windows. Meanwhile the driver did his best to communicate in both Portuguese and English and it was quite obvious that he knew his stuff about everything related to the West of Madeira. He did a good job and was kind and friendly.

Seeing the island - Brilliant and unique way to see a part of the island. The guides were very good at pointing out wee hidden gems along the way. I would definitely go again 👌

One of the best trip - It was grate trip. The gide was one of the best gide I have met. He told us about plants and all places we went through, he was very funny and good driver. The last stop was simulated to places we have home so he took us into the waley and showed us beautiful local places.

Awesome - It was just amazing and Pedro was the best guide. I didn’t do my research and didn’t have enough clothes with me so I guess not everyone is as stupid as me but wrap up warm in the mountains 😊

Highly recommend - It really is the best way to see Madeira, our driver was brilliant, only down side is you can't control the weather, especially in December & visibility was a bit restricted on the mountain tops but no-one can control that 😂. Would imagine it would be spectacular in Springtime. Loved it though & would definitely recommend it.

Bad driving style - Our driver (forgot the name) drove very wild. It was like a formula 1 coureur. I really got sick and almost quite the tour. I asked him to drive slower, which he did, but in the end it got wild again and I had to ask it again. He said he forgot. Also he could not find the way to one of the hotels and after a while he said he had no data at his phone to put on gps. So I used mine to show him the way, which is totally ridiculous ofcourse. Also he kept saying how old his car was (28 years) and that he could not do all reparations because there are too many cars in the company to take care of. That made me not feel safe, especially not with his driving style. The cars are not really comfortable at all. If you are a bit older (Which I am not!) and want a comfortable drive…. Don’t go with this! You are in the car a big part of your day.

Not recommended - non-communicative company, pick-up was half an hour late, no reply from company to messages. Pretty silent guide - no idea who he was, didn’t say! Just the odd word shouted - “bananas” and pointed to bananas growing… No explanation of itinerary, sights etc. Tour was 7 hours, not 8. Can’t recommend - there are probably others that are better.

Disappointing Trip and Quality of vehicle. - Vehicle in very poor condition. Seats were loose with missing bolts (Front and back). Rear passenger door faulty to the point the driver didn't know if he could fix it. Seat belts were very poor with not retracting properly. (Again as seen in the photo)Minimal off road time. One very short stretch up an old cobbled road. Commentary was disappointing. Wont be using again. Had an amazing trip last year with one of their competitors. The company response. The vehicle had passed our equivalent of an MOT. That is only valid on the day it is done. The vehicle should be checked regularly. Very disappointed by trip and company response. Driver said the vehicle was very old with a very high mileage. Nothing like what they display in their advertising. Checked with Travel agent we booked through who was very helpful and she agreed that a lot of the off road had been missed out possibly as we were picking an additional passenger up some distance away. As always the pictures will speak a 1,000 words. Company did not respond to anything about my actual disappointment with the trip.
