“An excellent tourist guide - Me & my wife visited Madeira between 8/6-15/6. We hired for 2 days a tourist guide named Ruben Quinaz. He took us to all interesting places in the west side of the island. We believed that to visit Madeira without using a tourist guide is a ‘miss’ because the advantage of a tourist guide is that he knows every point on the island.” - Reviewed on 2023-06-28
