Picturesque Views, great Wine and an amazing guide! - Our trip was amazing and Rui was excellent, he really made our trip special! We started with the sky walk and Rui gave us some really good info about the land, island and culture on the way. The view was unreal. We then went to the wine tasting and did some off roading in the 4x4 on the way which was really fun. The vineyard/location was beautiful and so was the wine selection. They showed us around and gave us nibbles to enjoy with the wines. Then back to Funchal to go out on the catamaran boat to see dolphins. What an experience, thank you Rui!

Best tour of our Madeira trip! - Gill was our guide and we had a fantastic time! He stopped lots to tell us lots about the island, the plants and the history. Recommended taking a jumper/cardigan and a hair clip as it can get windy at times when you're on the fast roads! The off roading was great fun! We could stand up and there were loads of photo opportunities. We got to try lots of different table wines and learn a little about how they were grown. Overall a fantastic way to spend half a day and our favourite tour of our trip!

Dolphin watching - The first part of the tour was excellent. Small group, 7 people in total and a guide (Paulo) who told us all about the area we were driving through and the vegetation etc. Had a lot of fun but that also depends on the people on your tour. We were lucky and had a nice group and had a great time during the skywalk and wine tasting. After this Paulo told us that this was the end of his tour and that he would take us to the next tour, which was dolphin watching. We were the only 3 of the 7 who had combined this. What a disappointment this was. We had a little break (ran a little late with the first excursion) and then we were put on a catamaran with about 50 other people. We sailed around for about 3 hours without any explanation of the marine life or vegetation we passed. We also did tours in the US and there they tell you all about the sea life and vegetation in the area. This tour would be more interesting if a little more attention was given to that. Then they would not be bottlenose dolphins like in America. But it does make the excursion a bit more exciting. And indeed we got to see dolphins jumping around for a few minutes after more than 2 hours of sailing. The second part of this excursion could have been so much better if there was some telling about the environment or what happens in the sea. Now it was just sailing, and I guess they have been sailing there for so long that they know exactly where the dolphins are. For us, this was a damper on a very fun and educational day. That's why I advised people we talked to to do the first part of the tour, but leave the dolphin watching for what it was.
