Madeira foodie heaven
Trying out the best food in Madeira has never been made easier. The Madeira Foodies tour was fun, insightful and absolutely delicious. I would recommend it to anyone. The venues are pretty close to each other too so it’s easy on foot to try out the best of Madeira’s local food and wine while taking in the exquisite coastal views.

Funchal Santa Maria sailing trip
The crew of the Santa Maria were very friendly and professional. The 3h trip was very pleasant with tremendous views, it normally goes along the coast to the west of Funchal but sea conditions dictated that we went East today. Just before the swimming stop, we saw a pod of Dolphins which was an added bonus. We would definitely recommend this as an enjoyable experience.

Fabulous tour of the East Coast
Our tour of the East Coast was amazing on 27th June. Unfortunately we didn't manage to get views of Pica da Adaga because of the low cloud but our tour guide Deano made up for missing this by taking us to extra view points. Deano was very knowledgeable and about the island and a fantastic guide. There was only four of us on the tour and he made sure everyone enjoyed it. The traditional houses at Santanna were lovely and Manuel welcomed us into his home, gave us a coffee liqueur and took a photo of us outside his house, which was fantastic. Would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you, Marion & Ian

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 😄

Great experience with a really nice tour guide who brought us to some extra viewing points and walks that we wouldn't have been able to find ourselves. For the sunrise itself we were a bit unlucky with the cloud cover but it was worth it anyway for the nice breakfast and other viewing points. Would highly recommend!

Funchal food and drink tour
This was a truly engaging and interesting tour. Our guide Pedro was passionate and informative from the very start and really took the time to explain the history, the culture and the traditions of food and drink in Madeira. We were also blessed with the weather which made tasting and eating outside even more memorable. Finding local corners and restaurants tucked away in the backstreets of Funchal offering traditional specialities was a delight and I went back to many of them during the week to savour the delights. Having never done a tour before, I was really pleased and enjoyed every minute. The group of tourists on the tour was also friendly and lovely. Thank you Pedro, you are an asset to the tourism of Madeira. I would highly recommend.

Excellent experience
Excellent experience - if you just want a pick up to take you to PR1/PR3 then this is for you. Our driver picked us up with plenty of time to get to Pico do Arieiro. We arrived at dark so we could see the whole sunrise. We were given about 3 hours to watch the sunrise and complete PR1.
The whole experience was smooth. We would definitely recommend.

A truly great experience of Madeira
From the very beginning, Diogo’s communication was excellent. He was responsive, clear, and made everything easy to arrange, which immediately gave us confidence.
He is incredibly proud to showcase the very best sights of Madeira, and his knowledge of the island is truly impressive. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and that passion really enhances the experience.
Diogo is also very empathetic and attentive. He took wonderful care of my parents and my daughter, always making sure everyone felt comfortable and included. His English is fantastic.
I can highly recommend Diogo as a guide — he made our visit to Madeira truly special.

Nice way to spend an afternoon
Very informative. Takes you to several parts of the island that you couldn’t get to walking on your own. Guide is very responsive. Experience the local drink ( your cost) and the glass overlook where you can see for miles (again your cost).
The four wheel part of the excursion is on a road that isn’t a road. It is barely a track. You will be jarred to the bone for a few minutes. Some people find that exhilarating. Others not so much. If you are taking this tour, be prepared and be ready so you don’t sit and complain and ruin everyone else’s good time

Mónica was our guide and she made it special. Her knowledge, friendliness and passion for sharing what she loves about the island made it so memorable.
The tours and wines were great, but you can try them by just showing up. Having a local guide brings the experience to the next level. Well worth it.

Gorgeous day on the water
Great communication from On Tales up through the morning of the cruise. Had about ten people on the boat during our 10:30 expedition - everybody fit more than comfortably. Beatriz and Bruno were friendly, knowledgeable and skilled and were very up front with the days conditions and expected sightings.
Cruised off Calheta for a while chasing a few dolphins which we managed to see, although they were feeding at the time and not in a bigger school. Lovely ride across long, gentle waves along the scenic south coast. Stop near Porta Do Sol for some swimming and the place lived up to its name with the sun in full effect. Refreshments during the cruise and full access to all areas of the boat.
Even with minimal dolphin and whale activity it was an exceptional day on the water. Highly recommended especially if you prefer a smaller group setting than the larger tourist boats!

10/10 views!!
The views from this hike were absolutely breathtaking! Bruno our guide was brilliant and explained thoroughly where we were going. We had such a fantastic day out, my camera roll was full by the end of it! We completed this in October 2025 and the weather was perfect, not too hot but no rain.
Wouldn't recommend if you don't have a head for heights or caves (although they're not too bad) And take torches and appropriate footwear.
