5.00We were really pleased to have done this. Saw lots of the island we would have missed out on if we’d hired a car and driven. Our driver was very knowledgeable and patient with our questions. Traffic was terrible coming back into Funchal and there was no impatience from him. Door to door service.
Nice tour shame it was almost identical to the South West Tour i did

5.00Loved this tour to pick up places in Madeira to visit, unfortunetly i had already seen many of them. It would help to have a list of places they visit and titles that are more accurate. For those reading this be careful and ask questions of the tours as most do the same places, mark the maps differently and give their tours a different name. So it is very confusing. Until you are doing the tour and find the same places are visited, i.e. South West Tours it seems are the same as West Tours. Also check the weather, many of the places we due to visit you could not see due to the mist.

5.00We enjoyed Andre s choices of places to visit on Madeira, his flexibility, sense of humor and mostly sharing stories of his life and his family’s life on the Island which he loves dearly. His personal touch made our visit to Madeira 1000 times better and more real. Strongly recommend if that is what you are seeking. All good🙏
