Great day out with an expert tour guide showcasing next level local knowledge
Booked this trip before arriving in Madeira. Almost cancelled to change to one which picked up at our hotel - so glad we didn't!
Our guide, Dino, was very friendly and showed a clear passion for the island and what it has to offer. He shared much local knowledge which if never heard previously, despite having visited the island a few times previously. He kindly walked us to the market and explained the local produce to us and even got us some free tasters!
The trip itself had a perfect balance of exploration and relaxation, showcasing the very best of the west side. It was, as promised , a small group - only 5 people - which made it much more special.
Would definitely recommend this trip!
Dino - Top man!!

Coastline and Cliffside Tour
A great chance to sample and see different parts of island life. Taking in scenic coastlines rugged cliff sides and forests along the way with the odd banana farms and vineyards. We had the bonus of having a local guide Joe giving an insight to his life on the island. He was informative and knowledgeable and amusing and gave us plenty of opportunities for snapping pics of Madeiras gorgeous landscape.

Unforgettable Magically Delicious experience
From pickup to drop off everything was exceptional. Our driver was early and respectful. He even sent a detailed list of recommended restaurants for our stay. Our guide was knowledgeable and very professional. His experience allowed us to move along the hike without and delays and past the crowds in the beginning. The sunrise did not disappoint. Both the sunrise and the hike were simply magical and unforgettable. We see why this is considered Madeiras most famous hike. We would without a doubt recommend our guides and this experience.

Nice walk with some interesting points. Recommend waterproof boots and a torch for thr tunnel section.
Well organised from the hotel pick up to the drop off afterwards.
Paulo our guide worked hard to make sure everybody in the group was comfortable with the pace and kept informed about what was happening.
The poxt walk coffee/drinks stop was definitely a case of going the extra mile!
Definitely Recommended!!

Excellent tour to see amazing dolphins in their natural habitat.
Our tour had to be rescheduled due to the weather, however Magic Dolphins were very helpful coming up with an alternative date and time. Initially I was a little apprehensive about the fact that my particular tour was on a very fast ‘Zodiac’ rather than the more sedate Catamaran, needn’t of worried the ride was fast but comfortable with padded cushion and good hand grips. On our tour we saw 3 different species of dolphins which was amazing, only little niggle was that most of the action appeared on the other side of the boat. Definitely recommend the dolphins are amazing.

Great open top jeep tour
We had a great time on this open top jeep tour. Our driver was great fun and took us to some stunning viewpoints. We also stopped off for a traditional Madeiran lunch as well as some rum tasting. One of the highlights was the off road driving and walking to the Balcoes viewpoint.

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 🙏

Fun - got to see a lot!
Hubby & I were there for the day off of a cruise. The company picked us up at the ship = very convenient! It was a fairly long day with lots of stops & photo ops. If you end up in the rear of the jeep - it’s a very tight fit. My neck hurt a wee bit at the end from trying to duck down under the roll bars of the jeep to see the sights. We enjoyed the route we went on & Alex was a good driver/ tour guide.

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!

Worth the breathtaking views!
For the most part a difficult hike but very rewarding. Ben prepared us well, and stopped regularly to allow us breaks at appropriate stops. Once you arrive at the stairway to heaven, we were able to return at our own pace. Overall, would highly recommend as an experience!

Highly recommend
Absolutely the best experience. Diogo has an amazing local knowledge and the taxi was so clean. The weather was changeable and he was able to amend the tour to ensure we saw everything but in a different order. He had great recommendations for things to eat. Everywhere we went there was the chance for a toilet break if needed and the whole day felt very chilled and relaxed.
