Nuno, our driver and guide, gave us a wonderful tour of Madeira...Despite the limited time we had on shore we got a great feel for the island, had a delicious lunch and winery tour at Barbusano. Nuno was able to squeeze in a quick stop to drink poncha and then another stop at porto moniz. All in all a fabulous day of sightseeing and discovery. Highly recommend this company

We had an amazing day with Hugo in Madeira! He knew all the great spots and when they were not so busy. We got to see so much more of the island just because he knew it so well. We avoided most of the other tourists in rental cars and traffic. Felt like we had island mostly to oursevles.....We would have never been able to navigate on our own in the same way. The views and the island are just spectacular. I highly recommend these people when visiting Madira and ask for Hugo, he's great!!

Fabio took us around to the eastern side of Madeira and the views were unbelievable! We loved it! We hope to come back some day and do the western side some day with him.

Tiago was great! We couldn’t have asked for a better day! Worth every penny! The trip was relaxed and avoided the tourist traps!

Fabulous day spent with Hugo exploring the west of the island. He was absolutely amazing with his knowledge of the island, the roads, the hidden trails.
He was patient and went the extra mile to make our day extra special.

An extremely good full day tour thanks to Hugo's friendliness and humour. We could not have expected anything better.
