Diogo is wonderful. We learned a ton about life on Madeira during our half day tour, most of which we would have missed if we were exploring on our own. We recommend him without hesitation.
Highly recommended bespoke tour

Fabulous bespoke tour of the island. Ricardo was a brilliant and knowledgeable host who checked our trip preferences before we left. Picked up from our hotel and dropped back after we stopped and had a lovely lunch at our last destination. Highly recommended. Ricardo and his brother Diogo made sure our trip was really good, excellent customer service communication, and attention to detail.
Wow! Best tour of our trip!!!

Wow! A fantastic tour by your team of Funchal and Madeira! Our first time visiting and we were made so welcome and comfortable by your company. We had a tour on our pace, comfortable vehicle, clean, safe and knowledgeable. We are from Canada, and our friends always told us about Madeira. We will come back! And we would utilize Diego and his company for any transport need. His brother Ricardo was our driver and he was outstanding. If you want a comfortable and private and personal tour or driver- this is the place! Book direct and you will safe a few Euros and have an amazing time! Thanks again!

Fabulous tour with Ricardo who made the day very relaxed and tailored the itinery and his information to be relevant to what we wanted to do and of interest to our teenage boys, giving some history on area, advising on nice local drinks and treats to try and clearly a very capable and experienced driver in the area and for steep winding road conditions. We all loved the tour and our time in Maderia. Thank you
Perfect half day Private tour!

Diogo was a brilliant guide for our half day tour of the island. He arrived promptly and was so knowledgeable about all the places we visited 4 in all (from Funchal) and about the islands History. Diogo also speaks perfect English. All in all a highlight of our trip. We will be using Diogo again including airport transfers next time.
