FANTASTIC FAMILY DAY OUT - Our second trip in two years with Ricardo, my husband and I enjoyed last year’s tour so much we didn’t hesitate to book again this year. A family of 5 adults this time, in the open top Land Rover- a real treat; we learnt so much about Madiera’s history and culture, the views were incredible and the experience unforgetable.

100% recommend this company, tour & the guide - I booked this after a fair amount of research and after reading other reviews of the company.
We had the most enjoyable day , I’d highly recommend it and the driver Joao .
He was very knowledgeable , informative , chatty, fun & very capable.
The off roading part was great fun.
We saw the best views learnt lots about the island and saw many little hidden gems we would not have seen unless they were pointed out by our guide.
Including a couple of falcons.
Just an idea we all had after we wanted to share with the company…..There are lots of tours available and to make them stand out even more than they already do , we thought it would be a great idea at an extra cost to include a typical Portuguese lunch in a remote little village or weather permitting at one of the bbq areas maybe. ?
We did stop at Santana for a lunch break , the restaurants were ok but it was a bit of a tourist trap , Nice to see the houses however.

Best way to see Madeira - Ricardo was so knowledgeable, pleasant and capable. We learned so much and enjoyed every minute. We saw so much of the east side of the island and did a lot of off-roading in the Land Rover, that we could not have done on our own. I would do another one of their tours in a minute.

Great way to see the island - We had a great trip with João, who was a knowledgeable, witty and engaging guide. It was a great way to see the island, including some places we would otherwise have missed, and some amazing views. The off-roading was good fun. Unfortunately the day started out wet and cloudy so we didn't fancy the levada walk but João adapted the itinerary to suit the weather and took us somewhere different instead. Highly recommend.

Take the tour - The best tour I've even taken. Our tour guide Ricardo was full of information on Maderia, took us to places we couldn't have seen otherwise and made the day so enjoyable.

Just as wonderful as I remember - This jeep tour was amazing. I did the same tour last year and brought my daughter & her friend with me this year to experience the island in a way we wouldn’t have been able to do ourselves.
I was pleased that the stops were not exactly the same as last year, and that we had time to do a lavada walk.
Ricardo was the perfect tour guide and his knowledge of the island is extensive. To learn of the beautiful views we saw and the history of the island made the experience that much better and enjoyable.
I highly recommend this tour!

Great tour of the North/East of Madiera - Had a great time! Our guide, Joao, was knowledgable and fun. He lead us through some amazing views and showed us the natural beauty from a local that loves his island. We only had a few days on Madiera, this tour showed a lot of the highlights. Highly recommend .
