“The information provided by the guide His lovely accent Plenty of stops and time for photos and lunch Communication on pickup day could have been better… the office blamed the traffic and the driver blamed the admin team?! We missed camera do lobus as a first stop with no explanation or apology and it was one that I wanted to see… I would have preferred it rather than the 2-3 waterfalls later that day… Overall great day out… we couldn’t swim in natural pools as the sea was very dangerous but the stunning waves made up for it!! We felt safe with the drivers handling of the road but pls…”

“This was our favorite thing we did in Madeira! It was the perfect way to spend a day and get introduced to the island. Ricardo and Marie are both very friendly and welcoming and also so knowledgeable about the history of Madeira and the best spots to stop. What’s different about this tour as opposed to a lot of the others is that you will take back roads through local villages, farms, and forrests and see the island in a way you wouldn’t be able to in any other vehicle. The group we traveled with became friends very quickly and we all had an amazing day together. 10/10 reccomend.”
Every kind of day on the island, and the best of each.
