What are people saying about Madeira

Kate_N, Jun 2026

Fantastic Private Jeep Tour!

Fantastic day! Miguel was a wonderful guide! He taught us so much about the island and took us to so many beautiful places we would have never been able to get to in a rental car! Absolutely wonderful day! Can not recommend this tour enough! My three boys said it was their favorite day on the island. 10 out of 10!

An Excellent 4-Hour Tour of Madeira

We had a great experience with Diogo who tailored our 4 hours together to meet our specific requirements. Madeira is a beautiful island and we were lucky to travel with Diogo, a native who knows every road and site. He also adds so much to the trip with his inside knowledge and history lessons and personal stories of life on the island. Highly recommend his service. A beautiful and very comfortable vehicle too!

We had three separate...

We had three separate full day tours with Diogo and Ricardo who are brothers. They tailored our tours to meet our wishes. We wanted to have plenty of time to walk and experience the beauty of Madeira at our own pace. We wanted lunch in family-owned restaurants and no gift shops. They exceeded our expectations in every way. It was great to have a professional driver. Many of the secondary roads are steep, narrow and winding. It was very relaxing to sit back and enjoy the scenery while being chauffeured around. Another advantage of being in a small van was that we could get into places the buses couldn’t. All-in-all we could not think of a nicer way to experience the beauty of Madeira. We hope you enjoy their company as much as we did.

Private Funchal City Tour by Tukxi

jodiflayman, Jun 2026

Enjoyable experience!

Four of us really enjoyed this tour! It was 1-1/2 hours, which was the perfect amount of time to ride around in the Tuk-Tuk and see a good portion of Funchal City. Our guide was very nice! We made a quick stop at the local market with some time to peruse the vendors. We also saw a couple of churches, some scenic viewpoints and even had a short amount of time to shop. The guide was easy to understand, too and picked up/dropped off right at our cruise ship.

Private Express Tuk Tuk Tour Funchal Old Town & Toboggans

Lisa_D, Jun 2026

An Outstanding Private Tuk Tuk Experience in Madeira

We had an incredible private tuk tuk tour with Wacef and couldn't have asked for a better experience! One of the highlights was arriving at the famous Monte toboggans just as they opened. Thanks to Wacef's excellent timing, there was barely a line, and we were among the very first riders of the day. It was such a fun and memorable experience. What really set this tour apart was Wacef's flexibility and enthusiasm. He offered us the opportunity to extend the tour for a very fair fee, and we're so glad we did. We visited Cristiano Ronaldo's childhood home, took in breathtaking views from an incredible lookout point, and explored a fascinating cave that we never would have discovered on our own. Throughout the tour, Wacef was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing Madeira's hidden gems. We never felt rushed and appreciated how personalized the experience was. If you're visiting Madeira and want a fun, efficient, and unforgettable way to see the island, we highly recommend booking a tour with Wacef. Five stars all the way!

jess_f, Feb 2026

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.

Madeira East Tour from Funchal

Heather_B, Feb 2026

Great tour of East Madeira

Great all day tour of east Madeira with Lido tours and Nuno our mini bus driver, who was very informative and knowledgeable throughout. The highest peaks may be a bit too much for those that don’t like heights but the views are wonderful. Most stops are 20-30 minutes with an hour and a half in Santana for lunch and time to explore. We would highly recommend.

Jeff, Rodrigo, and Emilio were absolutely fantastic! Their knowledge of the area was incredible, and they knew exactly where to take me for the best viewpoints at the perfect times to capture stunning photos. On top of that, they were all extremely friendly, fun to spend the day with, and clearly passionate about what they do. I’ll 100% be booking with them again. Highly recommend!

Could not recommend this experience any more! A fantastic tour of the island, stopping at all of the hot spots. Our driver was so friendly and easy to chat to - very knowledgeable about the island, I learnt a lot! There’s no better way to explore Madeira than on a jeep, the off-roading was so fun! A real highlight of my trip!

Spectacular Views and a Very Knowledgeable Guide

Horatio, our guide, was very knowledgeable and told us a lot about the places we visited and the history of Madeira. We saw spectacular views of the mountain countryside and the beautiful Nuns valley from several different locations. We were given plenty of time to enjoy the views and take some very memorable photos. We would definitely recommend this tour!
