We had a fabulous adventure trekking along the levada trail with Paulo who is great company to be with. His knowledge, passion and enthusiasm brings alive the trail, the forest, amazing valleys and waterfalls. We thoroughly enjoyed our day, thank you Paulo.
The best tour guide ever!

The most unforgettable day of our trip to Madeira! We spent a full-day guided by Paulo, and it turned out to be the highlight of our entire stay on the island. Paulo led us through breathtaking trails, hidden waterfalls, and secret lagoons where no tourists go. We explored several levadas, climbed up and down mountains, even descended on ropes with Paulo ensuring our safety. His deep knowledge of Madeira’s flora, fauna, birds, and hidden natural wonders was beyond impressive. Listening to him speak about the island’s plants and wildlife felt like a masterclass in nature. He truly knows Madeira like the back of his hand. We hiked 17 kilometers that day, and every step was filled with awe, joy, and connection to nature. It wasn’t just a hike — it was a magical experience we will never forget. I wholeheartedly recommend Paulo as a guide. If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure with someone who truly loves and understands this island, Paulo is the one. A guaranteed unforgettable experience!

Paulo was an excellent guide. He picked us up promptly from our apartment and drove us to the start of the hike. He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. We ended up doing several levada walks and had a wonderful time. Thank you Paulo. Highly recommended.
Thoroughly enjoyable experience

What can I say about Paulo.... I found his tours on my first trip this year, I had such a great time I booked again for my second trip ! Paulo is a great tour guide, he has fantastic knowledge and so much passion. You learn a lot and it's a great experience. You are given the time you need to really make the most of your tour and will never feel rushed. Paulo takes great care of his guests ! I booked two tours with him this week. I can assure you all that you won't just want to book 1 tour with him but more ! As a solo female traveller, I feel safe with a local guide such as Paulo I can trust. My arthritis played up the first time I came and he tailored my tour to accommodate my health and we went at my pace. He is very thoughtful and will make sure your tour is all you dreamed of. I plan to come a third time to Madeira and will book with him again. Your trip to the island would not be complete without booking with Paulo ! Would 100% recommend. For all you instagram lovers, he's a great photographer and will take the time for photos ! 📸 I have had a fantastic time going around the island so thank you Paulo for making my time in Madeira so great !

Paulo Jesus is a guide we really enjoyed hiking with. He knew so much about the levada paths and the nature. We would recommed him to everybody who want a special hike. So much better than a tour with s big group or going by yourself. You could ask about everything about Madeira. Thank you a lot Paulo. Best regards Beate and Tore.
Book this experience! You won’t regret it!

Paulo was amazing guide. We had two full days in Madeira and decided to spent them with him. We saw so much of the island in just two days. On the first day we did the waterfall walk in the morning and in the afternoon went to the west coast of the island with the car and stopped at very beautiful spots. The next day we woke up for the sunrise and did a little bit of the hike because it was partly closed and the afternoon went to the north coastline and ended in Fanal. He told us a lot of interesting facts, was very friendly and easy to talk to, made us feel safe. He really did give more from himself than needed but thats when you love what you are doing. Don’t hesitate and book him for your trip. You won’t regret it I promise you!!! Without him you won’t be able to see that much on your own.
AMAZING hiking experience with epic views, secret swim spots and more!

We had the most amazing time with Paulo as our guide! There were five of us (mix of experienced hikers and novice hikers). This hike was one of the top highlights of our Madeira trip. The area is beautiful and 25 fountains was great, but the best part was having Paulo show us the lagoons (especially the secret one that isn’t on blogs or apps). It was so nice having an experienced guide to lead the way so we could be fully in the moment and not focus on navigation, and he was able to answer all of my questions about Madeira. I’m an experienced hiker (used to be a guide myself) and I was very, very impressed by Paulo and how knowledgeable and accommodating he was. This was an amazing experience and is a must do for anyone coming to Madeira that likes the outdoors!
