This tour exceeded our expectations. It truly was an amazing area. Our guide Marco was very knowledgeable and we all learned so much about the area, Madeira culture and history. He even treated us to a folk song on the accordion while we enjoyed refreshments, Would highly recommend this tour.

Perfect tour

Our tour guide, Francisco was highly knowledgeable about the island and was able to answer all of our questions. The trip was amazing and we were able to stop off at all points of interest without ever feeling rushed. For anxious passengers, Francisco was an excellent driver and we felt completely safe even around the hairpin bends. An excellent tour that we would definitely recommend to anyone. If we come back to Madeira again we will be booking more tours through this company!

Fabulous.
