A fabulous, interesting facts about Madeira, amazing breathtaking at times views. Dont miss this trip.. Its a long day, but plenty of stop offs for refreshments or loo break. Wear comfy shoes and bring layers as it can get windy/chilly at times when up high.. Marco was lovely and spoke plenty of languages so no one felt left out.. Mini bus is quite tight regarding leg space and width space thats my only niggle... Bring change for toilets .. Some of the views you need to walk up hill on uneven ground so not good if you struggle with this..

Super experience with Marc our fantastic guide. Very impressive he had to do tour in English, German and Spanish. Lots of amazing places to see. Great value

Despite shocking weather conditions, all four seasons in one day including snow, our guide Marco was excellent he had plan B and C due to many roads closed. This did not detract from Marco giving us a first class tour, taking us to many different locations in this beautiful island whilst keeping us one step ahead of the storm. We thank him for giving us a fantastic day.

Myself and my partner thoroughly enjoyed our day spent on this tour last Thursday. The views were spectacular at every stop, it was well organised and a worthy addition to our trip to Madeira. I couldn’t pick my favourite spot if I tried, we went from feeling like we were at the top of the world at Pico do Arieiro to the very edge at Ponta de São Lourenço. A highlight has to be our guide and driver Patrick who was an absolute delight, very informative and put every effort in to making sure we had the best day possible. We would highly recommend to anyone!

Great tour for exploring part of Madeira. Take a light jacket or something as it can be a bit chilly when you explore the highest parts of the island.

Although the weather was wet the first portion of the day, it was a great tour of the north and northeast parts of Madeira. Daniel was an excellent driver and guide, and filled us in on an incredible amount of information and trivia, and allowed us ample time at the stops to enjoy them. The rum distillery was a highlight, as were several viewpoints, and the levada walk. Time well spent.

Very good tour with beautiful views. Weather varied from 1 degree Celsius ( and very wet and windy) at the top of the mountain to 19 degrees Celsius at sea level! Marco, the guide was very engaging and knowledgeable. We would recommend this great value tour.

Well spent day, the guide was through and informative throughout, the timings at some places can be adjusted like at Santana coz there is nothing to do , instead may be let people go on a 2 hr hike somewhere.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
Mr Peter thank you very much for your feedback . The Stop in Santana is what we call "lunch stop" , so we give 1:30/2 hours so that people have time to see the houses and at the same time can eat something relaxed. In our agency we also have one Hike program and you have booked one excursion. Thmak you for traveling with us. Kind Regards

We had a wonderful day with our tour guide Marco. We were received at the exit of the port and taken back in the evening directly to the cruise ship.
The tour was very interesting and versatile and we were able to get a great first impression of Madeira. Since we were lucky enough to get an exclusive tour for us, Marco also responded very well to our wishes. All the questions were answered and we learned a lot. Thank you for the wonderful day!

A unique experience!
This tour went through the most iconic and not to miss places in Madeira.
Santana was the best spot, no doubt!
I highly recommend this experience. I booked through the viator and didn't worry about anything else. In addition, we made the PR11, the railway of the shelves, beautiful!
