A great day in Madeira - We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Marco. We were received at the exit of the port and taken back in the evening directly to the cruise ship.
The tour was very interesting and versatile and we were able to get a great first impression of Madeira. Since we were lucky enough to get an exclusive tour for us, Marco also responded very well to our wishes. All the questions were answered and we learned a lot. Thank you for the wonderful day!

Great experience and guided tour over a couple of days with Marco. - Marco from spot tours was our guide and we had an amazing experience including everything from knowledge, food, vehicle, site seeing etc.
I would highly recommend Marco as he is very knowledgeable and takes time to explain everything and anything you’d like to know.

A tour of the East of Madeira - Myself and my partner thoroughly enjoyed our day spent on this tour last Thursday. The views were spectacular at every stop, it was well organised and a worthy addition to our trip to Madeira. I couldn’t pick my favourite spot if I tried, we went from feeling like we were at the top of the world at Pico do Arieiro to the very edge at Ponta de São Lourenço. A highlight has to be our guide and driver Patrick who was an absolute delight, very informative and put every effort in to making sure we had the best day possible. We would highly recommend to anyone!

Great program, great professional, great price - We made a visit of 1 day in a minibus with a driver for a group of 16 people, it was a fantastic program, pick up and depart at the hotel door, with a driver-guide (Sr. Marco Paulo) very knowledgeable, answered all the questions and made a guided visit with interesting information about the island throughout the journey and about the places where we passed. The program was adjusted with us and for us, always flexible and Mr. Marco Paulo was exceptional. The cart is also comfortable, the sound system is too, the trip was productive, enriching, informative and very fun. I recommend and would do this program again with the same professional. Welcome

It's worth it! I highly recommend. An experience in Madeira to not miss - A unique experience!
This tour went through the most iconic and not to miss places in Madeira.
Santana was the best spot, no doubt!
I highly recommend this experience. I booked through the viator and didn't worry about anything else. In addition, we made the PR11, the railway of the shelves, beautiful!

A beautiful day trip - We had an incredible day led by Marco. On the first stop we came up through the clouds to see amazing views, the second stop we had opportunity for a 45 minute walk through the forest followed by a lunch stop and more scenic stops. Marco impressed us with a constant flow of information on things around us, flowers, local history and funny personal anecdotes. he did the whole tour in english and german but this didn't stop it feeling very personable! It was a perfect way to spend my birthday and see the island without the stress of trying to navigate and drive a country that's new to me. 100/10 recommend!

Great experience - Great tour for exploring part of Madeira. Take a light jacket or something as it can be a bit chilly when you explore the highest parts of the island.

Exploring Madeira’s Mountain. - Prompt pick up from hotel and greeted by Marco, who was our wonderful and knowledgeable guide. The scenery was breathtaking, with plenty of time given to do the small hike at Ribeiro Frio, stopping later for lunch at Santana. The only negative, was the air conditioning at the back of the mini bus wasn’t functioning well, meaning it was a little sticky. Would recommend for those who want to get away from the beach and/or city and explore the beautiful countryside and mountains of Madeira.
