Miguel was a fantastic guide with a wealth of knowledge about the island! He tailored the tour to my personal tastes and created an unforgettable experience. He truly knows Madeira like the back of his hand and is a very skilled jeep driver to boot. I will certainly hire him again on my next trip, and recommend anyone book a tour with him! You will not be disappointed!
