We had a fantastic time...
We had a fantastic time on this excursion. Our tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel completely safe, even on the high mountain roads. The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, with spectacular views at every turn. We cannot recommend this tour highly enough – it was a truly memorable experience

West Island tour with Renato
We had a great experience on our tour. The guide, Renato had a great knowledge of the Island and its history and delivered this in a humorous manner. We thoroughly enjoyed our day and would recommend this tour as a great way to see the Island when on a short stay. THANK YOU RENATO!

Excellent trip with Magic Dolphin
Highly recommend the sea safari power boat trip. The boat ride itself was exhilarating and great fun. Older kids would love it. We also saw a great number of pilot whales and common dolphins which was amazing, particularly when they came close to the boat. Our guide/ marine biologist was also very informative about the animals we saw. Would definitely recommend using Magic Dolphin 👍

Fantastic way to see the sights
Our guide, Daniella was bubbly, funny, knowledgeable and a great deal of fun. We saw places thst buses cannot get to.
I asked to taste local pastries abd if course some Madiera, she stopped at places she knew were not touristy which was great.
Brilliant tour, highly recommend and ask for Daniella 😄

Roadtrip to Madeira mountains
This is a roadtrip to the area surrounding Funchal in a jeep. You will be seated in the back of a jeep: and need to be able to climb into and out of it. The position can be uncomfortable if you have knee pain or other leg issues , definitely not good for customers with mobility issues. The road trip was a lot of fun as you travel inland thru roads, narrow streets, up steep slopes and eventually off-road thru a forest! We enjoyed our tour of Madeira! Wish there was more information with the trip, like data about the island and since when it was inhabited, etc.

Funchal Walking Hidden Insights
I highly recommend doing a walking tour when you visit a new city to really get a feel for the history and learn the little secrets that as a tourist you would be unaware of. It adds to the richness of your visit and this tour ticked all the boxes. Thankyou Dulcie for your informative, engaging tour. Nat and I really appreciated your deep knowledge of Funchal (Fennel 😁)
We highly recommend when you visit this beautiful island, thank you 🙏

Loved our full day tour!
The charm of Madeira was evident from the first stop for coffee to the last glance at the sea at the end of the day. Taking us to mountaintop vistas with panoramic views by Jeep was an experience that had been so much fun! Madeira has so much to see that we were glad that this tour included the famous UNESCO Fanal forest and the beautiful black sand beaches with amazing natural pools. We loved our authentic lunch and fellow tourists, too! We would give our tour guide Eduardo (Eddy) and our full day adventure more than 5 stars if we had the chance! Loved it all!

Great way to see highlights of Madeira's Southwest and North Coast
A great way to see and experience the highlights of Madeira's Southwest and North coasts. Multiple stops at incredible vistas, a traditional market, the Fanal Forest, a north shore seaside town for lunch and an optional swim before two stops to view the North Shores highlights (rock formations and waterfalls) along with the famous black sand beach before heading back to Funchal.
And our driver Dinarte filled the windshield time with many interesting facts about Madeira's people, the food, agriculture and small interesting facts.
Gus small can is extremely comfortable for 8 guests - and very comfortable for the drive back to Funchal at the end of the day.
We really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it!

This is an amazing tour...
This is an amazing tour to visit this area of Madeira without having to get stressed driving around. Our tour guide Mr Dino is exceptional full of knowledge about the area as well as an amazing kind individual.
I have a disability, I have difficulty walking he made me feel very welcome, helped me all the way and I had an amazing time when I was so worried about it previously. Thank you, Mr Dino

Amazing
A few days ago we had a trip around Madeira Island, it was a wonderful trip with amazing views that are beyond description, you have to see them for yourself and the driver-guide was amazing. Thank you for such a wonderful day. I highly recommend it. Ramunė ir Lukas from Ireland -Lithuania

Great experience with an amazing guide
David was amazing and the tour itself was exactly what we wanted. We didn't get to see the sunrise due to weather conditions however David drove us to another spot below the clouds to watch it and then drove us back to the trail. Overall would recommend the experience to anyone thinking of booking

An unmissable spectacular experience
This was a stunning walk with some of the most spectacular scenery I have ever come across. It was well led by Martha. It was only 4.3 miles but it's a steep ascent of more than 2000 feet, so isn't easy. There is an option to get transported for the most difficult part. I'm 78 and was able to climb it without a problem. The final section to the Stairway to Heaven is a bit narrow and is a steep up and down and needs approaching with caution if you suffer with vertigo. I found it exciting and the views were worth it - just stunning.
