Huge variety of scenery, great fun and you get to go places you wouldn’t drive yourself!

Published on Nov, 2024

Our guide for the day was Dino. Friendly, humorous and informative. Pick up was easy, a stone’s throw from our hotel in Funchal. The Land Rover can fit 8 people but there were only 3 on our tour. We headed west out of Funchal and then north to Serra de Agua where there was a quick pit stop for coffee and pastel de Natas then onwards and off road climbing through the forest up towards Estanquinhos. There were stops along the way to walk a levada and admire and photograph the stunning views. Eventually, we emerged onto the plateau and headed northwest onto the eerie forest at Fanal and its 800 year old trees. From there the tour descends to Ribera da Janela and it’s photogenic rocky islet before continuing west to Porto Moniz for an excellent and typically Madeiran lunch, tomato soup with a poached egg in it (don’t knock it until you’ve tried it) and tuna with pepper and onions. After lunch and exploring the natural pools we followed the coat east to Seixal with its black volcanic beach and big breakers. Last stop was Sao Vincent’s for a taste of Madeira wine and a cheeky Pescador’s Poncha before heading back to Funchal.

A very fulfilling day! We had a great time with our guide Julia, who is a solid driver and has a lot of sightseeing knowledge. She kept explaining things to us throughout the trip. After a full day of traveling up and down the mountains and witnessing many of Madeira's beautiful landscapes, I enjoyed it very much!

Brilliant day with Pedro!

Published on Oct, 2023

Me and my partner had an amazing day, so many laughs and amazing views! Our tour was with Pedro. He was friendly and likeable from the get go. He knew a lot about the island and its history, it was also amazing how many languages he speaks, helps break language barriers so everyone can enjoy their experience. I would highly recommend booking a tour with this company especially Pedro! Seen lots of views from high and low. Pools and cliffs! By far my favourite part of my trip to Madeira. Thankyou again Pedro you made our day.

Best Local Guide EVER!!

Published on Oct, 2023

Had an amazing time with our driver @Bruno and about the best experience you could get out of a tour like this. Plus a LOT of local insights into the island and it’s history and culture! 11/10 would do again and 100% recommend
