5.00It’s great fun. We had an opportunity to go to the other side of the island to see some stunning views. Definitely a nicer way to sightsee. Nuno our tour guide/driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. Pick up and drop off from the cruise ship. Would recommend and will do another tour if we are lucky to return to Madeira.

5.00Great couple of hours on the road with Nuno. A unique and fascinating way to see the area outside of Funchal. Stunning hilltop viewpoints and a chance to try out the small windy roads in the local villages! A superb experience. Nuno was friendly, helpful and informative. Excellent timely communication from Filipe when making arrangements for the trip. You’ll be in very safe hands!

5.00Excellent, unique way to experience Madeira. We did the west of the island on a beautiful sunny day. It is excellent value for money and comes with its own knowledgeable driver. It is comfortable, interesting and a different way to explore everything that Madeira has to offer.
Beautiful Views

5.00We had the best time driving around with Beatrice, who was a wonderful guide answering our many questions. I rode in the sidecar and my husband on the bike. Beatrice showed us some wonderful views, took our photos and introduced us to Poncha! The drive was lovely and very safe and comfortable. We fell in love with Funchal and intend to come back. It’s a great way to see some beautiful views without the crowds.

5.00Thoroughly 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.

5.00We 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!

5.00We 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
