5.00We had a wonderful time on this all day tour. Our driver was a great guide and provided a lot of information about Madeira’s history as well as current events. It was very relaxing to be driven by an expert driver and to discover the beauty of the island at our own pace.
Not to be missed !

5.00First visit to Madeira, we wanted to see the whole island and this tour with our guide Luis covered every main attraction and view points on the island. Luis made sure to adapt our tour to our request based on what we had saw. The restaurant suggestion was sublime, nice little local restaurant in porto Moniz. Amazing island!
Awesome trip

5.00It’s a great way to see the big hitters of the islands if you’re only here for a couple of days! Luís was a great guide and had lots of local knowledge as well as on how to avoid the crowds. Coming in January, this gave us enough time at all the places we stopped.
A great way to start your vacation

5.00We recently spent our honeymoon in Madeira, and honestly… every glowing review you’ve read online is completely justified. The island is beautiful. The problem was figuring out where to start. So we booked a full-day tour with Luis to get the lay of the land. This was my first time doing a guided tour on vacation, and I was a little skeptical. Turns out it was the perfect way to kick off our trip. One thing that really impressed us was how flexible Luis was with the itinerary. When we wanted to linger longer at certain spots, he was more than happy to adjust on the fly. We ended up hitting over 10 locations across the island, each one more beautiful than the last. If you’re planning a trip to Madeira, this tour is absolutely worth it. (P.S. Don’t forget to try the poncha)
Excellent excursion

5.00We were a bit concerned about this trip as the weather forecast suggested heavy rain starting about halfway through our 8-hour experience. But we needn’t have worried. Luis, our driver and guide, contacted us beforehand in case we did want to cancel, but we decided against it and had a wonderful day. Luis even adjusted the itinerary so that we started at the Cabo Girao viewpoint instead of visiting it last in the rain. Our route took us across the mountains on winding roads through beautiful villages to picturesque small ports. All the while Luis kept us informed with cultural, geographical, geological and even sporting insights to the areas we visited. We stopped for lunch at a restaurant recommended by Luis and later enjoyed a poncha at an interesting old bar by the sea. Luis also gave us a picnic to take back to our hotel. Light rain eventually started just as we reached our final stopping point, but nothing could dampen what was a wonderful day out. Thank you very much, Luis.
