Amazing day exploring the East of the island with Francesco. Francesco is an experienced and extremely knowledgeable guide and expert driver knowing every nook and cranny of the island. Rainbows came out on a wonderful day!! Thanks again Ray and Roisin (Belfast).

Highly recommend this Madeira day tour for a fun adventurous feeling Jeep drive to see the beautiful sites of the north and east of the island. Our driver Louis was funny and friendly and extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of the island and ensured we had a great day. There was ample time at each stop with a well planned route fitting in lots of sites along the way, an excellent way to explore the island efficiently and informatively.

Wonderful day. Met 2 minutes from the apartment I was staying out with easy instruction on where to meet my guide who arrived on time. I think our guides name was Luis and he was really good and looked after everyone on the trip, he gave us clear instruction on where we were and what to see and with a little levada walk thrown in it really did make the day enjoyable, it was also fantastic to meet the other people on the tour from Germany and France and a couple of fellow Brits. Luis is a fab driver and we got to see so much unfortunately the weather had been a little bit damp in the days before so we couldn't do the original off road plan but as there was a plan B this was no problem. If visiting Madeira I would highly recommend taking this tour.

I loved this. Our guide tailored the whole experience to our needs. He loved showing off his island. He picked me up from my hotel, which was out of the way for a 20€ supplement (cash).

Fantastic experience! Our guide, Francisco, was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and kept us well informed about the itinerary throughout the day. He allowed plenty of time to explore each location and made sure everyone had a great time on the tour.

Love this tour so much, Diogo Camacho is the best driver. He knows the best routes and show us secret spots. The lunch was so nice and the main attractiona too. I highly recommend this tour.

It was great to see so much of the island and also get a small taste of what a few of the Levada walks and hikes would be like. It does get really cold at the top of the mountain, so be sure to bring a jacket. It actually snowed on us, so we didn’t get to see the view, and we got stuck for a little bit because they closed the roads because the weather was so bad, but we still had a great day. I would absolutely recommend this tour!

True to the description given at booking. The driver was very informative and fun (Antonio?). We really enjoyed the off road experience especially in the villages where it would have been difficult for us to get to otherwise. A full day experience which we would recommend.

Excellent jeep tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and transferred his enthusiasm to us. We were able to stand up in the jeep and this enhanced the experience. In the middle we got off the road and had a little nature walk in the woods which we enjoyed. We stopped at worthwhile spots. Highly recommended. I would do two of these next time instead of the bus tours.

We enjoyed this adventure it was good fun and we enjoyed an alternative view of the island. Our guide worked hard to show USA good time. We would recommend this activity.
