What are people saying about Madeira

Private Half day tour around Madeira Island

Liz_G, Oct 2026

Our Tour Was MUCH BETTER Than Expected!

Our tour guide, Diogo was absolutely amazing, he was super patient when our ship’s this disembarkation process was taking a long time. Diogo gave us so much information about the island; he is a perfect ambassador for Madeira/Funchal. Diogo even made it a point to stop at a little produce stand to buy us a couple of locally grown bananas, which by the way were delicious! . He gave us plenty of time as we explored the different locations - more time than we even need it. We did not feel rushed at all, and he gave us his undivided attention. The air-conditioning in his vehicle worked perfect, and his van was spotless. We felt like he was a genuinely nice man with a positive look on life. Thank you Diogo!

Excellent Driver and Unforgettable Sunset

Cláudio was our driver for the trip to Pico do Arieiro and provided an excellent service. He collected us from our hotel on time and drove safely throughout the journey. On arrival, he gave us clear instructions and helpful information, making sure we knew exactly what to do. We were also lucky enough to witness a beautiful sunset, which made the experience even more special!

A local who knows

The standard itinerary included several places that we had already visited earlier in the week but Luis was happy to look at my list of desired stops and get us to each of them on a custom tour. We promptly emailed with me before I left for my trip, so we could iron out the details of our tour. He knows the island incredibly well, and also took us to his special places. He carefully maneuvered the challenging local roads, timing our arrival to avoid lines and crowds, for an absolutely terrific day. His recommendation for lunch was great and he even brought us to a small shop in his hometown for an afternoon mango gelato and smoothie. Go with a local who knows. Spend your day with Luis.

Fantastic Day!

There was a little confusion about the pick up point but we finally found it within the time period given but our driver had left us. We had to call because there was no response to the messages sent and luckily another driver had recently left and turned around to get us. So with all that confusion completed, we had a wonderful time with Tito in our orange and black 4x4 tour. He was very experienced and knew all the ins and outs of the city including best shops and restaurants. Tito was an experienced driver who thrilled us with his short cuts, humor and knowledge of the area. Buckle up for a exciting adventure! The Piscina naturales pools were beautiful and so refreshing to swim in! Highly recommend! Tito ended our trip with a sweet spot, Justine’s, where we tried local drinks, Poncho and Brandy. Highly recommend the poncho passionfruit!

Great Day Trip!!!

We had such a fantastic day exploring Madeira on this 4x4 tour! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and we loved getting to see so many different parts of the island. We experienced just about every climate Madeira has to offer in one day! We did get rained on, but it didn’t take away from the experience at all. I would definitely recommend bringing a raincoat because the weather can change quickly. Such a fun and memorable day, and a wonderful way to see the island. Highly recommend!

Book it! Long line of hikers waiting for taxis after hike.

Our driver was on time, professional and provided clear directions at dropoff for entrance to hike, and pointed out the area to watch sunrise prior to hike. He was on time for pick up, and provided history about the island on our return to Funchal. There was a line of people waiting for a taxi in parking lot after hike. Its worth it to guarantee a quick return trip after the 5.7 mile hike!

Fabulous afternoon

Our trip was fabulous from start to finish. The crew were lovely, couldn’t do enough for us. The drinks flowed, good selection of snacks. Curried brioche sandwiches, cod bites and of course pastel de natas. We were lucky to see some pilot whales swim right by us and later were able to have a swim. There was plenty of space to relax and change into swim wear. I would do this trip again tomorrow if I could.

Taste Funchal: food, wine & cultural tour

Hilary_W, Sept 2026

A wonderful experience

Today has been a wonderful day. We’ve experienced food tours before and enjoyed them, but today Mara proved to be a professional and knowledgeable guide, who quite righty takes pride in Funchal and wants her party to experience it too. Food, wine and culture are all shared with warmth and enthusiasm. We enjoyed every minute. Thank you !
