I highly recommend the Madeira jeep tour with Patricia! She was absolutely phenomenal—her extensive knowledge of the island's history, culture, and hidden gems made the experience truly unforgettable. Not only did she provide fascinating insights at every stop, but her positive attitude and passion for what she does were contagious. Patricia also gave us amazing recommendations for local restaurants and activities that really enhanced our trip. Her professionalism and enthusiasm made this tour a highlight of our visit. Without a doubt, 10/10 recommend taking this tour with her!

10/10 experience!

Marrissa_N, Jul 2025
This tour is truly incredible! Justino made sure our family was comfortable and went above and beyond to make sure we had a tailored experience. We traveled with two children and we felt very safe traveling the wild windy roads. This is a must do experience while in Madeira!

Definitely book!

We had a great day and it made it us want to see more. We learned about the island and culture in a conversational way. He was also great with the kids, helping them get in and out of the jeep, answering all the questions, and making sure they had a good time too!

Amazing scenery and a great tour!

Jake was the best tour guide and Madeira is such a beautiful island! We absolutely loved this tour and thank goodness he was a great driver because some of the roads were took were not paved. It was so fun for the entire family - teenagers too!

Would not recommend

Kristen_L, May 2024
There was no information shared about the island. I wanted to hear more about the history and culture behind the sights and points of interests. It felt like an expensive taxi. Would not recommend.

Response from Host, May 2024

Hi there We have so many good reviews about the guides and the way we work, you must be a very special person because everybody loves the guides and the island and you didn't like anything, it's very difficult to believe you when you did a full day Private Tour and you didn't talk about the island. You didn't talk about the viewpoints you visit the off-road part that everybody likes the beautiful crazy roads that we did, so you didn't like anything. You did ask the guide to take you to Monte so you could visit the gardens that is not includes on the program, he was flexible so you could enjoy and even so it was not good enough for you.The problem was that you were talking between yourselves and you didn't give a chance for the guide to explain everything and he didn't want to be rude to interrupt you all the time when you were talking between yourself. On TripAdviso is written there that we don't accept negative people on the tours. I can't believe you because everybody likes and you didn't like anything. Please next time book with another company we don't need negative people. Just Go Tours Mauricio

Great day A beautiful island and we loved our tour . Five seniors on a bucket list trip.. It did not disappoint!!!

Jeanne_Z, May 2024

West side of island

Laura_D, Mar 2024
Great day seeing the west side of the island. Truly a fantastic experience full of diversity to get a true flavor of the beautiful island.

Not for the faint hearted!

Myriam_C, Sep 2023
So much fun and we got to see a lot of the island. We were picked up outside the port. Our guide was there waiting for us. The jeep is really for 4 people, we were 6 plus the driver/guide so 2 of us were sitting in the back jump seat! The tour was comprehensive and took us on some back roads that were very steep. We also stopped at some pretty places for photos.

Our driver Mauricio was so amazing!!! He was fun, knowledgeable and gave us the best experience ever. Madeira is breathtaking with the views we were shown and I would definitely come back to this beautiful island. I would totally recommend you do this jeep tour if you ever visit Madeira. Thank you Mauricio and Madeira Island!!!

Nuno was very experienced...

Jagdesh_G, Jul 2023
Nuno was very experienced driver navigating through mountains and small roads . Some of the corners were pretty harrowing but he showed his skills. The natural pools were great and overall the drive through the mountains was brilliant. Thank you Nuno

Well worth it

Tricia_V, May 2022
What I loved about this tour is that Mauricio showed us the tourists spots, but he showed us the local spots. He showed us the true island, explained why there were leaves, showed us the most delightful spots. I loved this tour and highly suggest it.

The best part was Being...

Karen_M, Apr 2022
The best part was Being able to see places off the beaten path that we would never have seen on our own.
