Fun Time! - We had a terrific time with Nelson! He accommodated our diverse group and provided a solid overall introduction to life on his island home. We had a blast off roading and eating our way thru the farmers markets!

So much fun - Had a great afternoon visiting the farmers markets but the highlight was off roading and getting a “Madeiran Massage” in the 4x4. It was absolutely exhilarating and the views were beautiful. Lino was a fantastic guide and driver and taught us a lot about the history of the island. He was funny, informative, and made the experience so much fun! Highly recommend for a half day excursion!

Great trip to the Market - Lino made our trip very enjoyable and informative. He explained many things about the island we wouldn’t have learned on our own. We
Will definitely take a tour again with him.

Memorable morning - I think the details of this trip need an update. We didn’t quite do this itinerary. As a result we were not prepared for off road but was expecting a more leisurely sunday market trip.
We still had a good time. Shame we didn’t do all the stops advertised but all in all it was a memorable morning with more thrills than we were ready for
