Thoroughly enjoyed our couple of hours touring part of Madeira with Luis as our driver and guide. The weather was very kind to us and we got a fantastic experience of motoring along the beautiful countryside while Luis gave us commentary about the area. He was very obliging in making sure we had a great experience and making us feel welcome. We drove to the top of the island and stopped at a local bar/ restaurant for magical views and a wonderful poncha, the local rum drink made with lemon and honey, wow! We had a thrilling scoot down the mountain and along the main highway back to Funchal where we left Luis before heading back to our ship. Brilliant day! Thank you
Views Filipe took us to were amazing.

We had the BEST time on this tour! Our guide gave us details of the city, took us to some amazing viewpoints and took a ton of photos of us while we drove around. He picked us up and dropped us off right at our cruise ship! Do this tour if you’re looking for a fun experience!
Highly recommended

We joined Joe for a 2 hour tour of Madeira. I sat behind Joe and my friend settled into the sidecar. Joe was a very knowledgeable, friendly guide who clearly loves the island and is happy to share its delights. We visited Camera de los Lobos then drove up into the hillside for a coffee and Poncha stop at a local cafe with fabulous panoramic views. I would highly recommend the tour. It was very well organised and we saw so much more than if we'd just done a bus tour. It was great meeting Joe who shared so much about local life that we just wouldn't have got from a bus tour. The bike was a stunner-a very comfortable ride. One tip I would give future guests is to wear long trousers and a jacket as, even on a sunny day, it got quite chilly up in the hillside. Joe was kind enough to drop us in town by the market at the end of the tour. Excellent tour! Thanks Joe

The motorcycle and sidecar tour of part of the beautiful island of Madeira was amazing. Nuno was a superb guide and character, taking us up to some of the most special viewpoints on the island. His commentary whilst riding the bike kept us well informed. This trip is highly recommended for people who want to do something different, particularly those previously may have rode motorcycles. Must do it again when in Madeira.

Amazing trip thank you. The sights and smells you wouldn’t get on a coach. We had an included tour with our cruise line which we didn’t go on, we didn’t want to mar or dilute the experience we had in the morning. Thank you keep up the good work. This is a must do for anyone!

We had a great tour with João. We skipped downtown and went straight up into the mountains. The scenery was gorgeous and the ride itself was really fun! We stopped at a cafe to try poncha, the traditional drink of Madeira, which was very tasty. João took tons of pics for us and sent them the next day which was much appreciated. Highly recommend this tour!
