Took a wonderful trip full of lovely sights with Green Devil; great fun from start to finish! Our driver Jose was fab too, being very well spoken and knowledgeable on our route's respective sights and their lineages. Favourite part was standing out of the roof of the jeep!

An absolutely great day out to the North West of Madeira. We couldn't do the usual tour due to a wild fire but the alternative route was still brilliant. We visited many interesting places and our tour guide kept us informed through out with details about the history of the island, and indigenous plants versus native plants. The open tour, off road section was great and there was something special in travelling in a convoy of ten vehicles all marked in the company's livery. Our personal favourites were the stops at Porto Moniz for swimming and lunch, as well as Poça das Lemas for more swimming. Highly recommended.

This tour was made amazing by our wonderful driver and guide Dino. He is a very kind, local guide who knows this island like the back of his hand. We had high expectation about how beautiful the scenery would be and it was even better than our expectation. We stopped by a small shop in a little village in the mountain for refreshments. After that Dino took us off-road for 10 kilometers. At every turn the scenery took our breath away. We then visited the magical and misty Fanal forest (UNESCO heritage site) and made famous by Star Wars: Acolyte. Then we went to Porto Moniz with beautiful natural pools. Ended this wonderful trip with Madeira wine tasting. Thank you, DIno.

A super tour we can only recommend. Our guide, Spencer, is an experienced off-road rider, with a great deal of knowledge of land, history and vegetation. The number of groups (4 pairs) is also optimal. Although we met the other jeeps in between, we were still independent and traveling at our pace. Thanks again very much to Spencer, whom we would book again immediately. His humorous manner and dealing with us guests was and is unique. Gladly again "My Shore Excursions". Thank you Susanne and Thomas

We had the most memorable day with our guide and driver Elias and two other travellers. No issues with pick up. The off road drive was so fun and Elias was able to answer all our questions regarding plants and life in Madeira. It felt like we had about 3 seasons doing this tour as you're crossing the mountains and go back down again so make sure you got an additional layer as it can be chilly.
