5.00We had the absolute pleasure of exploring the beautiful island of Madeira with Edgar as our guide, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we met him, Edgar’s warmth, passion, and love for his homeland were truly contagious. His driving was exceptional — smooth, safe, and confident, which made us feel completely at ease even on the island’s winding mountain roads. But what really made the day special was Edgar’s incredible knowledge of Madeira. Thank you for a memorable day!

5.00Wow what an amazing experience this trip was. From the moment we arrived, Edgar greeting us with a warm welcome, making us feel happy and safe. His knowledge of the Island is incredible and he constantly gave facts of the island during the whole trip. He customised the trip to suit our family and ensured it kept the kids entertained whilst keeping the adults hooked at the same time. We kept away from the crowds and Edgar knew the best time to hit all the hotspots. Booking this private trip was the best money i've spent in such a long time and I would highly recommend booking this trip if you want an amazing VIP tour of Madeira.

5.00Please remember this is a custom tour. Edgar will take your group wherever you wish and make it "your" tour. Edgar was born and raised here.He is the most qualified person on the island that does this work. Simple facts. We discussed everything we wanted to learn about the Mystic island of Madeira. Highly informative and fun ROAD Trip. Don't take the chance with another touring company. He treats you like family. Thank you Edgar. We hope you and your family are well and have a great rest of 2025. Cheers🍻 Steve & Lynne

5.00Very personalized experience that you can cater to your needs and wants. Andre was extremely friendly, funny and accommodating to our group. My son wanted to experience off roading and I was surprised by his willingness to show my son that experience in Madeira. You will not be disappointed by your time on Madeira or on this particular tour experience.
Amazing Private Tour to the Northern - Western side of Madeira

5.00Our private North - Western side of Madeira Island was amazing! Our guide Edgar took us to all the must see tourist spots as well as several other remote locations that made our trip extra special that others may never get the chance to see! His knowledge of the sites, history, culture and getting us around to the different sites was great! The Toyota Land Cruiser made the trip extra comfortable. The overall tour was a very good value! We highly recommend Edgar and the Always 4x4 tour company through Trip Advisor and Viator to anyone traveling to Madeira!!! Enjoy the experience!

5.00We are a family of four (two teen boys) and this is our first visit to Madeira. We’re staying in Funchal, but wanted to see some of the rest of this beautiful island. We went on this tour yesterday and we had a fantastic day. Edgar was very knowlegeable and personable. He has a great love for his home country, which he gladly shared with us, answering any questions we had. We had a number of scenic stops along the way, including beautiful waterfalls, stunning views from the mountains and the rock pools at Porto Moniz. We didn’t feel rushed at any point of the day, the vehicle coped well with the steep mountain roads, and the “beautiful weather” button ion the dashboard worked perfectly, too :) Edgar has also sent us a map of the route we took. We’d highly recommend this tour. Thanks Edgar!
Amazing Island tour with kind, knowledgable local host. A++

5.00Amazing day out would definitely recommend. Our host Edgar was fantastic… warm, friendly and very knowledgable about his beautiful home island. This was our favourite day of our holiday because we got to see so many amazing things and also learned about the history and culture of the island. Edgar tailored the experience to suit our needs, stopping for as long as we wanted at each place. Rock pool with ripping waves, waterfalls from the rock face, mountain hike with amazing views, 300 year old trees, agricultural valleys with scarily steep road declines (optional - I requested this!). If you want to see true Madeira with an excellent host with local knowledge this is a trip worth booking. We will definitely be booking Edgar to show us the east side of the island on our next visit.

5.00Edgar took great care of our family to hit all the highlights of the Northwest Coast of Madeira. We saw some great waterfalls, visited the black beach, swam in the pools of Porto Muniz while seeing ancient trees along the way. I can highly recommend the experience!
