Excellent tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Had a great day on the tour, comfy minibus, guide was fantastic talking in Portuguese and English. Great range of stops on route.

Excellent full day tour and very knowledgeable tour guide

Published on Dec, 2024

Excellent full day tour of the East side of Madeira, we previously took the West side tour with Lido Tours last year and were equally impressed with both. Good way to see the island and it's most spectacular views from various viewpoints, with friendly and very knowledgeable tour guide Marco.

Fantastic quality company with great Itinerary.

Published on Dec, 2024

This is a fantastic opportunity to use as part of a cruise holiday. Very rarely throughout the day did we run into tours run by the cruise companies. Drivers are very professional and knowledgeable. We left port at 9 and got back at 4, so a full day, unlike the cruise offerings of 4 hours max. The vehicles are smaller in size which helps when accessing viewpoints. At 38 Euros it is outstanding value. Whilst lunch is not included the driver suggested a local restaurant, but there was no pressure to use it and there others close by. Book directly through the website where you can pay immediately or buy now pay later. You can cancel 24 hours in advance if you need to, especially if the cruise line cancel the port. If you pay for it later take cash with you to pay the driver. We didn't have the whole lot in cash so the office sent a link by sms and paid through that. Bottom line just go for it, we used them for the west coast as well. Oh make sure you pack a waterproof as Maderia can have 4 seasons in a day. Enjoy

Good tour on eastern side of the island

Published on Dec, 2024
