5.00Really enjoyed our ride with Rosbert! He did well to match the ride to our experience level and we appreciated the opportunity to see a completely different part of Madeira with him. He was extremely knowledgeable about the island - a great tour guide and biking lead!
Great Ride, Great Guide and Fun Challenge!

5.00We had a great time on this activity! Rosbert was a great guide, very friendly and he even got in touch with us to move our activity day as the weather on our original day was very wet. The new day we arranged was much better weather making it a much better ride so thank you for that! The group was at different skill levels and Rosbert was able to give us different routes and challenges to suit us while still keeping us together as a group. He also took great photos of us during the ride and shared lots of knowledge about the island. We would highly recommend this activity to anyone. Thank you Rosbert

5.00Rosbert was a great guide and tailored the route and speed to our capabilities. It was my 66 year old father's first time on a mountain bike and on single track trails. Rosbert made sure that we were comfortable with the level of difficulty and he seemed to always have a backup plan if we weren't. Cycling along the levadas down from Poiso was beautiful. We weren't expecting a history lesson of Madeira and Portugal, but got a great lesson from our guide Rosbert who was a great ambassador for his island and country. Our lunch stop at a traditional snack bar had some of the best homemade and wholesome food that we've had on the island... And it didn't break the bank! Bonus... We were able to end the tour directly at our Airbnb. Thanks Rosbert for the personal experience and making it work!

5.00Fantastic way to experience a taster for mountain biking. Although advertised as a “beginner’s” tour you do require some basic cycling fitness and bike handling skills to comfortably enjoy the half day. Rosbert and his team were really friendly and helpful and tailored the cycle to our abilities. Day started with a pick up from hotel just after 9:30, with a 20-30 minute drive uphill and inland. Great scenery. Total of around 16 miles cycling taking in downhill trails in fields, roads and Levada pathways. Stopped off for lunch which in itself was an interesting and enjoyable experience (local cafe bar restaurant full of locals, bereft of tourists). At end of cycle picked up some more experienced mountain cyclists on a separate cycle with the same company, taking them back to the top for their final run of the day, and we were taken back down to our hotel stopping off at some quite stunning viewpoints en route, finishing the day between 4 and 5 pm. Would highly recommend if you already cycle and wish to have a go at mountain biking at a level tuned to your experience. Great value. Always felt we were in safe, competent hands. Highly recommended 😊
Exciting trip

5.00This was a great ride with magnificent views. Rosbert is an excellent guide and instructor for beginners. Nice stop at a local cafe/restaurent. The tuna sandwiches were very yummie!. Also nice with optional paths at a few places to make it harder/easier depending on your level.
Fantastic ride!

5.00It was fantastic! Not only was the biking exciting going from the mountains at 1400 meters down to sea level but the variety of terrain and scenery was spectacular. Rosbert’s in-depth knowledge of the forests, the environment and regional history was very impressive and added a whole other dimension to the tour. We will definitely join Ros again for another adventure next time we’re in Madeira!

5.00Our guide Ros was very knowledgable on the local flora & fauna & history of Maderia. He took us to a small local restaurent for a traditional lunch which we loved. We had no experience of mountain biking although we both cycle a lot where we live. Overall it was a very enjoyable & exciting expience.
Fun day out
