Enlightening Trip
Published on Nov, 2024
Very good day out the driver guide had excellent knowledge & nothing was to much trouble. We asked about Madeira wine he did no more than take us for a tasting at one of the oldest distilleries on the Island photo included.
The driver picked us up on time & gave us time to view the beauty spots. Well worth the money.
Fantastic day out.
Published on Nov, 2024
Despite the weather, heavy rain at times, it was a fantastic day out. We got a really good insight to Madeira made all the more enjoyable due to our driver Ricardo who was very knowledgeable and friendly. The complimentary coffee, snacks, beer and Madeira Wine all helped!!
Thoroughly recommend this trip.
A good full on one day introduction to the whole island of Madeira
Published on Oct, 2024
If you want a one day introduction to the island of Madeira then you won’t get better than this. It is a full day with quite a bit of travelling but you do see the main sights and you have time for lunch at the coast. Good guide/driver have us lots of interesting history.
EXCELLENT Tour of the Entire Island of Madeira
Published on Sep, 2024
This was a truly amazing tour of the ENTIRE coastline of the island of Madeira. There were countless places where we stopped, including many more than those listed in the Viator itinerary. You will stop at almost all photo viewpoints along the way, and you will have sufficient time to take pictures wherever you stop. However, what made this tour super special was our driver and tour guide RUI. He is a life-long native of this island and he knows all of the wonderful places to see and stop to visit to take pictures. Additionally, when it was lunch time, he gave us a choice and then took us to the most spectacular restaurant and site to have lunch- with a million dollar view. The food was top notch and truly delicious. RIU was not only very informative (by the way, he is a professionally trained engineer), his English was perfect and his demeanor was delightful. Please know that from the time that we were picked up y RUI at the hotel in Funchal to the time that we were dropped off in the evening, it was 11 hours. (No kidding!) So, you will get your money's worth and get to see truly all of the wonderful sites around the entire Madeira island - what most visitors to Madeira will not get to see. If you do book this tour, I do hope that you are lucky enough to get RUI as your driver and guide. You will have a wonderful time!
