5.00We had a wonderful tour of the West part of the island with Roberto. Very friendly and professional, and comfortable mini-van. Definitively a highlight of our week in Madeira.
THIS is the tour (and guide) you’re looking for!!

5.00It’s always a gamble when you book a tour based solely on descriptions and reviews, but we are SO lucky we picked this one with Roberto and his tour company! He was by far one of the best guides we’ve had…ever! Born in South Africa, but Madeiran by heritage and blood, Roberto traveled the world then eventually settled in his native homeland. He has a passion for Madeira: its lifestyle, its culture, its history and its people, and it shows in his ability to share his island home with you. His enthusiasm is infectious and you leave his tour feeling like you’ve genuinely made a new friend. He’s conscientious to the needs of his guests and goes the extra mile to provide a first class experience. My husband and I visited Madeira as a stop while on a cruise. We knew we wanted to see as much as possible in the 2 days we had available, so we booked the full day tour of the western side of the island with Roberto. He drives a very comfortable electric Mercedes van and makes sure to take you on the route that the tour buses can’t. We were pleased to find out that he purposefully plans his tour in the opposite direction of the others, to avoid congestion at the well known sites, and takes you to the some of the “off the beaten path” places as well. It’s a chance to see the true Madeira through the eyes of a local. Without a doubt, we can emphatically recommend Roberto and The Electric Tour Company for all your Madeiran travel adventures!!
Wonderful West Tour

5.00We had an absolutely fantastic day on the Electric Car Madeira West Tour! From start to finish it was an unforgettable and great experience. Our guide Roberto was just great – incredibly competent, personable and with a real passion for Madeira. He has shared so many exciting stories, inside information and background knowledge with us that we would never have discovered on our own. It felt like exploring the island with a friend who really loves his homeland. The west of Madeira is breathtakingly beautiful, and discovering it with an electric car made the experience even more special and sustainable. Everything was relaxed, well organized and perfectly coordinated. We can absolutely recommend Roberto’s tour to any Madeira visitor – it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip!
Amazing Scenery

5.00Amazing scenery and sights along the coast of Madeira, highlight is Porto Moniz and the viewing platform at Cabo Girão. Roberto is a really knowledgeable guide and made our trip so interesting. He couldn’t have done more. We were so glad we picked this trip over the traditional Jeep tour. Great views from the van and no possibility of being stuck in a rear seat facing inwards!
A wonderful time in Madeira

5.00My partner and I had an amazing time going west with Roberto from Madeira Electric Tours. We visited some lovely spots around the island, and never felt rushed at any point. Roberto’s knowledge of the local flora and fauna was excellent and his passion for the island and its culture really came through. We cannot wait to travel back to Madeira and book another tour!
We did the West side of the island. Relaxed, interesting. Lots of stops. A great day.

5.00So lucky to have had a sunny day in January during this trip. Roberto, our guide was a ray of sunshine as his knowledge of Madeira islands as well as its fruit bearing trees/plants was top notch. His enthusiasm was so exhilarating as you could see that he enjoyed the trip as much as we did. Don’t book your trip with anyone else as he is the best
Fantastic day trip

5.00My aunt and I had a fantastic private tour of the West side of Maderia and our amazing guide Roberto certainly did not disappoint! From start to finish the day was packed with everything you could possibly wish to know about the island, with Roberto's knowledge being extremely extensive. Roberto's attention to detail is impeccable, prompt collection from where we were staying in an immaculate Mercedes electric people carrier. Roberto couldn't do enough for us, he drove us to various spots on the west coast including various fantastic viewpoints, little villages and waterfalls. The time he allowed for each stop was perfect and we didn't feel rushed and completely at ease. Roberto has a wonderful sense of humour and had us giggling all day, he has a clear and charming voice and speaks many languages, it is very apparent he has spent a long time educating himself not only of the amazing flora and forna of Maderia but the various cultures of his guests, making him so relatable. One of our last stops was a real, authentic 'Poncha' taverna on the sea front, where the wonderful owners welcomed us and we sampled some beautiful wines and ponchas. This was a truly magical, unforgettable day and the highlight of our holiday. Thank you so much Maderia Electric Tours, we highly recommend you and we cannot wait to return to do the east side of the Island with you next time!
Madeira at Our Pace

5.00This was one of the highlights of our Madeira trip. Roberto met us right in Funchal and took us on a beautifully paced journey along the west side of the island. What really sets this tour apart is the small group size and the electric van—comfortable, quiet, and a huge upgrade from being herded around in a 6–20 person bus. It made the entire day feel relaxed and personal rather than rushed or touristy. Roberto was fantastic. He didn’t just drive us from point A to point B—he gave meaningful background on each location, shared local context, and helped us actually connect with what we were seeing. You can tell he cares about Madeira and enjoys sharing it. The timing at each stop felt just right, and the overall flow of the day was smooth and unhurried. If you want to see some of Madeira’s most stunning west-side scenery in a thoughtful, comfortable way—with a guide who enhances the experience instead of just narrating it—this tour is a great choice. Highly recommended.
A beautiful and well organized western tour!

5.00The Western Tour is a journey through the beautiful nature of western Madeira. Roberto is a very motivated guide with a lot of knowledge about his land, flora and fauna. He succeeded in inspiring us for Madeira and transferring his connection to nature to us. The super modern Mercedes bus made the day trip comfortable. A pleasant, relaxed and very insightful tour, which we are happy to recommend! Thank you so much!
