Top Portugal Day Trips

We absolutely loved all the spots where we stopped — the views were incredible😍 We want to thank our guide Mauricio, because he told us so many interesting things about Madeira and showed us places we would have never found on our own. He drove us along old roads with the most beautiful views of the island — honestly, we would never have made it there by ourselves 🫣 He was also super friendly and fun, and even did photo sessions for us at the waterfalls! By the end of the day it felt like we had seen such a big part of Madeira in just one day! We left with amazing memories and impressions🥭🏝️🏔️ Definitely one of the highlights of our trip!

It was great fun. We saw so much of the island and Tony (make sure to request Tony G) was a font of information and funny. It was a great way to explore the north and west of the island. The lunch stop was especially good. They were very friendly and attentive and the food was superb. Make sure to get the steak on a hot stone. I will recommend this tour to all of my friends that come to explore Madeira. Worth every penny! And I will be taking their East side tour next visit! Side note: take a jacket or windbreaker. It can get cold, even in sunny weather.

Pena Palace was open for visitors according to all information provided to the public. Unfortunately, as we approached the road leading up to the palace, we saw that the road had been closed by the police. Due to constant rain, they were concerned about possible landslides on the road and decided to block entry. Our driver/guide, Francisco, knew that we had selected this tour specifically to spend time at the Palace. He communicated with his employer, and he ended up taking us to other sites. Francisco visited the sites with us and provided many historical details . He spent extra time with us, we were not rushed at the sites we visited, and he helped turn lemons into lemonade. Obrigada, Francisco.
