Fabulous day out exploring the beauty and nature of Madeira - We had a fabulous day full of stunning scenery, great driving and excellent guiding. We were a family group where some had been to Madeira and some had not and the tour that our guide Hugo put together suited us all. We stopped off at stunning viewpoints in the Ecological Park and Pico Arreiro then dropped down to The North side of the island which was great and generally not travelled to by tourists. We drank Poncha and popped into a traditional Madeiran house. The Rustic restaurant for bbq lunch was delicious and had incredible views. Hugo was professional, knowledgeable and good company and covered so much ground for us. We all had an excellent trip and would definitely recommend Hit The Road.

Fantastic two days to see Madeira! - We toured the east side of the island the first day and the west side the second day. The experiences on both days were fantastic. So many awesome places and views. You can't really described them until you go. Hugo was our guide both days. He was super informative and lots of fun. You will not regret doing these tours!

Experience Maderia no Other Way - "Hit The Road Madeira" tour with Hugo was an awesome experience and one of the best ways to discover the island. His deep knowledge of Madeira gave us so many insights into the culture, history, landscapes, and local way of life that we never would have learned on our own. One of the highlights was taking the off-road routes, which allowed us to avoid spending the day traveling through tunnels and instead experience Madeira's incredible scenery up close. Every stop felt authentic and carefully chosen. The lunch experience was unforgettable—not only was the food fantastic, but the view was absolutely breathtaking. It was one of those moments that perfectly captures the beauty of Madeira. What really made the tour special was Hugo's genuine passion for and pride in his country. His enthusiasm was contagious, and it was clear that he truly loves sharing Madeira with visitors. If you're looking for an authentic, fun, and memorable way to explore the island, I highly recommend Hugo and the "Hit The Road Madeira" tour.

Amazing day with Hit the Road & Tiago! - Best day of our entire trip! Our guide Tiago was AMAZING and his love and knowledge of all things Madeira was out of this world! We spent almost 9 hours together and learned so much and saw more than we could have hoped for. We opted for the private tour so we could customize it and see the more off the beaten path spots on the West side of the island. We promised not to share any of the secret places! Hopefully, Jeff won't share in any of the videos either. LOL! Tiago did a great job of listening to what we wanted out of the day and what we had already seen. We were able to just sit back and enjoy the ride, learn and take everything in we could. Obrigado, Tiago and Hit the Road!!!

Highly recommend - Our guide Vitor was an excellent driver and very knowledgable of the local area, customs and history. He was very personable, informative and helpful throughout the day. We thoroughly enjoyed the day tour of Madeira. His choice of a traditional restaurant and tavern were highlights of the day along with recommended hikes and Fanal Forest tour.

This 4x4 full day tour of... - This 4x4 full day tour of Madeira Island was a fantastic way to get a flavour of the culture, landscape and history of Madeira. It is impossible to see the whole Island in a day, despite the advert for this trip hinting this is the case. We focussed on the north and north west. As well visiting top tourist attractions such as Fanal Forest and Porto Moniz, our driver took us to some spots we never would have thought to visit or even noticed on our own. Having a guide made a huge difference- Fabio was very chatty, informative and attentive to our interests. We had time to take in a few short walks, lunch at Fanal and an impromptu visit to a local bar to try Poncha (there was no heavy sales pitch to buy local items as has been the case on guided tours in other countries). We finished the day inspired to visit some places again for longer, and with confidence to try some driving for ourselves on our next visit. Highly recommend!
