Richard is an amazing tour guide and provided excellent customer service with an attention to detail. The walk down to the Calhau da Lapa beach is spectacular as is the pebble beach. The scenery is simply stunning. We enjoyed visiting the Madeira Ethnographic Museum which provides a glimpse of the life in Madeira in times gone by. Richard is very personable and an excellent host. He collected us from our apartment in Funchal at no extra cost. I can highly recommend this tour and in particular this tour company. We enjoyed three tours with Richard and Marco during our stay in Madeira.
Wonderful, personalised tour to experience Madeira as a local!

Our tour started with prompt pick-up from our accommodation in Funchal and a short drive west to Campanario. Here we took a long, long walk down into a valley to a secluded private beach. It was steep, but the views along the way were worth it! We never felt rushed and were comfortable going at our own pace. Next was a scenic drive on the old roads through UNESCO Laurel forest to a high viewpoint with magnificent views both up and down another deep valley. Our last stop was a cultural visit to the Etnographic Museum in Ribiera Brava, good value at 3 euro and included an informative booklet with details of the displays in english. Richard was our guide who took great care of us and provided informative, enjoyable commentary throughout the day. He also took some great happy snaps and emailed them through later on. This is a fabulous tour to escape the traditional tourist sites and see some out of the lesser known spots on Madiera where the locals go.
