Worth the early alarm - Vitor was our driver and guide, great guy. We watched the sunrise then did the stairway to heaven hike, just over an hour, with lots of steps but wonderful views of the mountain peaks and valleys

Sunset with jeep tour - Super cool sunset jeep tour with Hugo as driver. We came to various spots that I would never have seen myself. Especially the narrow streets were already an experience. Highly recommended. Armin

Best day out⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - My wife and I booked this sunrise tour and had the best day out. We were picked up by our driver Nuno then collected to lovely girls from Latvia on route to our start point. Nuno is a great guy, so much fun and has good knowledge, we stopped for coffee on our way then arrived at Pico Arieiro in plenty of time for sunrise Nuno picked the perfect spot to watch. Then we went for a nice walk through a levada and were met at the otherside, on this walk we met in with two women from USA who we shared a poncha with at 9am🤣 they offered us to go with their driver Hugo as they had booked a full day tour which we accepted, we said farewell to Nuno and our friends from Latvia and spent the rest of the day with Hugo and our american chums and had a hoot of a day🍹☀️ Highly recommend this company for day tours💯

Great tour , even though the weather played spoilsport - We loved our sunrise drive with a small group. Unfortunately the weather didn’t permit us to see the sunrise at pico de arreiro, but our guide Fernando improvised & took us for a view near the ocean& to see some other amazing views.

Sunrise tour - My friends and I had a great time on this tour, our guide Fernando was a real local from Madeira and he was very knowledgeable and trustworthy! I highly recommend this tour! The views of the sunrise was so magical. Then we went to a local coffee spot and then a walk to another viewpoint which was also amazing! Thank you Fernando!

Superb sunrise tour with Fernando - We had Fernando for our guide for the sunrise tour. He was simply outstanding. He loves showing people around his country which he is passionate about. The tour itself was different to most tours. It was personal and genuine. The scenery was amazing.
